Speaking by telephone, Former Assistant Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz, and longtime love interest Shaha Riza, have confirmed that a sex tape of the two is circulating the Internet.

President: "I never received funds from Paul Wolfowitz"
2007-05-26 02:31:00 President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said he had never received funds for his 2004 presidential election campaign from Paul Wolfowitz, a former defence affairs adviser to US President George W Bush. "I affirm that I never received (funds). In 2004 when the general election was taking place, I never communicated or met with Paul Wolfowitz. Neither did he ever offer me funds or did I ever receive funds from him," the head of state said here Friday. Earlier, former chairman of the People`s Consultative Assembly (MPR) Amien Rais who was also a presidential candidate in the 2004 general elections admitted he was once offered funds by Wolfowitz who is now World Bank president."Please check with Wolfowitz whether or not he offered Amien Rais funds.

Wolfowitz Resigning
2007-05-18 00:44:00 Paul Wolfowitz and the World Bank have reached an agreement in which Wolfowitz will resign his position at the end of June. I think Wolfowitz's resignation became inevitable a week or so ago when the bank ruled Wolfowitz had violated conflict of interest rules in negotiating a sweetheart deal for his girlfriend, Shaha Riza. One of the major themes of Wolfowitz's reign at the World Bank was fighting corruption, and this basically exposed Wolfowitz as a hypocrite on that front, even if the degree of corruption in this paled against that of the developing countries leaders Wolfowitz and the World Bank were targeting with their efforts. Per World Bank rules tradition, the chairman of the World Bank is an American. President Bush will nominate Wolfowitz's successor, subject to approval by the bank's board.

The President and Wolfowitz
2007-05-17 05:12:00 The President and WolfowitzBy Nicholas D. KristofThe New York TimesAs Paul Wolfowitz is to the World Bank, the U.S. is becoming to the world.We should look at the battle unfolding at the World Bank not as the story of one man falling to earth, but as a moral tale of the risks the U.S. faces unless the Bush administration spends more time rebuilding bridges it has burned all over the world.Mr. Wolfowitz genuinely aspired to help Africa develop, but he ended up isolated, friendless and vulnerable; receiving no credit for his genuine accomplishments; and unable to make progress on the issues he cares about. And the U.S. is in a similar position today.The similarity arises in part because although President Bush?s best-known role has been as a conservative hawk ? and everything he has done in that role has been a disaster ? he has also aspired to fight poverty and help Africa. And Mr. Bush has genuinely scored some major accomplishments as a humanitarian.O.K., pick yourself off the floo...

What Do Paul Wolfowitz And Pimps Have In Common?
2007-05-15 15:17:00 They both blame the babes for their problems. Here's Wolfie hanging on to his megabucks World Bank gig by his chinny-chin-chin and blaming his girlfriend for making him give her a huge pay raise. She was an "angry" b**tch and scared World Bankers wanted to "steer clear of her." That's Wolfie's spin on why he got involved in sending her to the State Department with a $60,000 obscene raise. Shaha Riza couldn't stay at the World Bank after Paulie got the top gig. Conflict of interest. The World Bank still paid her salary at State which, at $193,000 a year, was higher than Condi! So Paul's head is on the block today after the bank board found his actions violated ethics rules.
