Paul Wolfowitz Has A New Job

AP Via Yahoo:
Former World Bank chief Paul Wolfowitz, who resigned amid a furor over his handling of a bank pay package for his girlfriend, has joined the American Enterprise Institute, a think tank, as a visiting scholar.
AEI's president, Christopher DeMuth, made the announcement Monday. Wolfowitz will work on entrepreneurship and development issues, Africa and public-private partnerships, the group said in a release.
Wolfowitz's last day as head of the World Bank, a major poverty-fighting institution, was on Saturday, ending a stormy two-year run.
He was essentially forced to step down from the World Bank after a special panel found that he broke bank rules in arranging a hefty pay raise for Shaha Riza, his girlfriend and bank employee. Wolfowitz's handling of the pay package prompted a staff revolt and calls by Europeans and others for him to resign. Read more...

Robert Novak Dishes on Valerie Plame and Hubby
We don't want to bring charges against Wolfie until after charges are brought against Bush and Cheney. After that we hope the next job will be in the laundry room at the federal pen.
There is always another crooked Repug., just like him, out there to hire these scumballs again.
How can a man who said the reconstruction of Iraq would cost the US nothing be considered a "scholar"?
What better addition to a think tank than this scruffy wrong twat?
The neo-cons will keep him around until he can be bounced back into government and continue his work of destruction.
Water will always seek it's own level. and another true adage, in the septic tank of life the biggest chunks always rise to the top.
"Visiting Scholar," huh?
I guess the "Visiting Liar" position was filled.
girlfriend = sex partner
i thought he broke up with shala?
OT Sorry. They are covering (re-airing) KO's Special Comment on MSNBC news. They have NEVER done this before. Wow he must have really gotten his point across for them to repeat it like this.
Capt. Bat Guano @ 11:
I had to laugh.
And soon it'll be Wolfie and Scooter together again, continuing the plotting of the Israeli coup of the US government, this time from within the Israeli government, instead of the White House.
'Israel Uber Alles'
Bush and Cheney must be impeached
IMPEACHMENT IS IMPERATIVE.
There is no way around it and there never was. It is the proscribed remedy for the situation in which we now find ourselves. Where the executive branch breaks the laws, obstructs justice, and commutes the sentence of the man who was the cork in the bottle preventing the truth from pouring out. In this instance the executive branch (all of them) have become the criminal, their own jury, and their own judge and have once again, ONCE AGAIN circumvented OUR laws.
There is only one remedy for this situation, and that is impeachment.
It was ILLEGAL for Nancy Pelosi to “take impeachment off the table”. She does not have the authority to do that. The only way that impeachment can be removed as a remedy for a criminally corrupt executive branch is for there to be a Constitutional amendment declaring that impeachment will only be used when it isn’t inconvenient. That if the numbers aren’t on the side of truth and justice and good and right, that we will just allow a criminal executive branch to continue in its criminal activity.
Impeachment is on the “table” and that table is the CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES. And Nancy Pelosi has no power to remove it. It is her DUTY and the rest of congress to use this remedy, because no other exists!!! The democrats must lay aside their cowardly number crunching, and they must bravely stand up for America and what is right. We were promised leaders, and it is time we got what we were promised. This country was founded by brave people who believed passionately in the ideals they set forth and fought for so valiantly. This country has been inherited by mealy mouthed cowards who are only willing to fight when they are guaranteed to win. THAT is wrong.
This country is still worth fighting for. Right and justice are still worth fighting for. Even when you think you might lose. They are that important!!!!! THAT IMPORTANT. We have lost sight of the right and the good and the mete and the just.
Impeachment is imperative to mend OUR country. Impeachment is imperative to bring back justice, and honor to OUR Constitution.
Now is the time for all good men (and women) to come to the aid of their country. Now is the time for all good people to demand that justice be done to save our country from further putrification. Impeachment is good, and right and mete to remove evil and corruption from OUR government. From OUR executive branch. It is time to stop crunching the numbers, and time to stand bravely in the face of the enemy and fight for OUR country.
The neoCO incompetents all have job security. Even felony convictions do not prevent them from getting jobs in future Rethug administrations.
Libby's supporters crying about his felony meaning he'll lose his legal career are the ultimate hypocrites as they all know he will get a well paying job with the Rethug/neoCON establishment. Even his fine will be taken care of I am sure.
These people totally suck, and any media news-reader who does not say so has no credibility. In fact, Keith Olbermann is the ONLY one telling it like it is.
Its almost as if AEI has become the waste basket for convicted and/or discredited neocons.
American Enterprise Institure---last refuge for the incompetent hacks that couldn't make it anywhere else.
They must have a pretty broad definition of "scholar" to put this arrogant putz in that category. Of course, anyone with an IQ of 3 or greater qualifies to be a Neocon anyway.
wolfie is like fredo-he wants SOMETHING to do so he can feel important and smaht.
AEI - Retirement home for discredited neocons (Norm Ornstein excluded).
AEI is simply pseudo-intellectual neocon welfare. Visiting scholar my ass.
AEI is a stable for neocon hacks.
...
So apparently all we need to deal with the unemployment issue are hundreds of neocon propaganda firms all across the country. Then anyone who is unemployed can get a job there as a visiting scholar.
Happy 4th of July!
Please take time to remember the brave men who risked their lives to found this country and the men and women who serve in the military today.
Wolfowitz given a new job.
Libby sentence commuted by GWB

Why does stuff like this always happen when Stewart and Colbert are on vacation? It's like they check.
Looked it up on wikipedia, "American Enterprise Institute"..AEI has emerged as one of the leading architects of the second Bush administration's public policy.[2] More than twenty AEI alumni have served either in a Bush administration policy post or on one of the government's many panels and commissions.[3] Lynne Cheney, wife of Vice President Richard Cheney, is an AEI Senior Fellow.
This is also the same group that was trying to pay scientists $10,000, "asking them to critique a consensus report on global warming by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
Fellows of the group, skipping over Mrs. Cheney:
Frederick Kagan is a military historian and signatory of Project for the New American Century manifesto titled Rebuilding America's Defenses (2000) along with his brother Robert (co-founder of the PNAC) and his father and fellow neo-conservative, Donald Kagan.
Reuel Marc Gerecht is a resident fellow. He is the director of the Project for the New American Century's Middle East Initiative and a former Middle East specialist at the CIA.
David Frum, an author and former speechwriter for Bush, , ,
Wolfwitz himself being a member of PNAC puts The words of Rev.Ivan Stang, Which i will mangle horribly because i only heard it on one of HOS (#1053 if i remember right) The Conspiracy Is so Tight and everything is taken of care of, "Written" one might say, that they don't even bother hiding anything anymore, It's blatently obvious to everyone, and nobody cares. As long as we got our TV and other whatzits... And it kinda trails off as one of his rants do.
Eric Jaffa @ 8:
I don't agree with much that is said on this site, but you make a good point. Iraq should be paying us back for some of the money we have spent on this war.
AEI will be history in 08.
I bet Norm Ornstein is holding his nose to come to work every day. Wolfie will stink up any place he lights.
New job doesn't change the fact that he is a chickenshit, chickenhawk, warmongering, coward.
Ryan @ 29:
They might have been able to pay us back already if we weren't there to privatize everything. Why do you think the insurgents are fighting?
He's just taking a break inside the bowels of the Beast...
"World Bank, a major poverty-fighting institution,"
I'd find that laughable if it were not for the poverty the World Bank imposes on 3rd world nations while it stripes those counries of their assets.
Wolfowitz will be joining other equally brilliant scholars, such as:
A bucket of pond water.
A half-eaten double Whopper.
A bag of socks.
A sponge.
Is he bringing his foxy girlfriend with him?
"public-private partnerships"
in plain speak.............
"he'll be stealing from the common wealth and setting up new millionaire welfare systems"
This is how I feel today.
http://myfightfordemocracy.blogspot.com/2007/07/new-declaration-of-indep...
AEI's stated mission is to "defend the principles and improve the institutions of American freedom and democratic capitalism."
I CAN FEEL THE FREEDOM ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!
VietVet67 @ 38:
Heh yeah. Are they a perfect pair? Both look like they've been ridden hard and put away wet...
I wonder if his girlfriend got him the job.
miss_kitty @ 42:
AAAAUUUGGHH! You're going to cause me to have nightmares. I can't even think about it.
"...the World Bank, a major poverty-fighting institution..." ? Oops! Must be a Neo-Con fact, otherwise known as a New con-fact.
Just look at that picture of twatface! Would you bag that if you were a woman? Heaven forfend! I can see no redeeming qualities in that face. A woman who would screw that has a few screws loose herself. It is an ugly toady face. A face no mother would love. Probably tried to stuff him down the toilet so he grew up twisted and perverted. Yuck! What a disaster for a face. Toejam looks and smells better. Belly lint has more personality. What a pathetic, sorry-ass face.
I'm not surprised at all that a neo-con "think tank" would swoop in and save the day by hiring Wolfowitz.
I would bet that Darth Cheney gave AEI a call to get Wolfie a cushy job until an Abrahmoff-type lobbying position becomes available for him. Probably won't be long.
Just what the 3rd world needs: another crook to try to "help out".
I have this mental picture of the AEI offices. Everywhere you look, diabolical madmen stoking white cats; over near the copy machine, under the giant crucifix, a trap door over a tank of starving piranha; a man-sized shredder sits in the vice president's office (Oops. That's a mental picture of the White House.) And the gang from accounting is giving Norm Ornstein a wedgie.
This adds nothing to any discourse on the man, but I have to mention it: Prior to viewing the above photo of Wolfie-boyo, I never realized how chimpanzee-esque are his facial features. My God!. It's no wonder our Imperial Chimperor is so fond of him. In his devotion to Wolfowitz, Bush is just loving an extension of himself. No wonder Bush thinks Wolfie can do no wrong.
Jo #46,
LOL!
Groan...American Enterprise Institute, founded in 1943 about the time that the US Government seized assets of Prescott Bush's banks for collaborating with the Nazis. Very interesting, don't you think? Even more interesting is that the AEI has continued to push for the same goals as the Nationalist German party (Read Nazi Party) that were spoken in 1943, a unified Europe, a unified North America and a unified South America. They also push for war profiteering. Good group, these people. They are for a global capitalistic rule, one where the big corporations are in charge and the common man gets nothing.
I thought his new job was a scumbag.
So Wolfie's going to "work" at the AEI - gee, there's a surprise, huh. I think the AEI is the last repository for all the the disgraced Bush regime detritus. Anyway, Wolfie's gonna get himself some o' that sweet, sweet wingnut welfare. Watch for him to be a regular face on Faux Snooze.
Joe O. @ 20:
"almost"? It's in their mission statement!
Any "think tank" where this guy works must look like the tea party in Alice in Wonderland.
That's rather a perfect fit.. Wolfowitz and the AEI.
Look at it this way, he'd never get a job elsewhere in the real world, would he?
Libby's profession of law is finished so maybe he'll get into the Carlyle Group. Nobody else would want him either.
And not only Wolfie.
The AEI has an enormous petty cash fund, so don't be surprised if his girl friend soon has a new job, too.
Or else he'll hire a new one.
18 foolme1ns,
Hear, hear!
American Enterprise Institute = Society of Toe-Sucking Comb-Lickers
The American Enterprice Institute: where disgraced neo-cons go to die... (
(or to run the country from behind the scenes.)
He'll be as happy as a pig in s*** at the AEI with his fellow neo-con rat ba****ds.
Apperantly they have a different definition of the word 'scholar' then is usually used.
Think Tank huh??? I think he should be in PRISON!!!
Whenever I hear think tank I think brain wash.
He might start with a litany of his greatest mistakes. Yeah, right.
They should declare the AEI a Superfund site because of all the toxic waste that oozes out of it. Good luck wallowing with the swine, Wolfie.
The nine lives of Wolfowitz the War Criminal. These guys just bounce from one neo-con appointment to the next. Everywhere they go they leave a stinking trail of putrid slime.
AEI: where homely, unsavory ersatz 'intellectuals' can gather, pose, preen, and indulge in their fascist fantasies, realizing them through mafia tactics via bozos like Dubya & Co., who are easy pushovers as far as the neocons are concerned. The stupefying egotism of Wolfie and his kind truly smacks of delusional grandeur. Like Hitler (everyone's favorite Worst Person Ever comparison), the neocons' 'philosophy' remains mired in primitive mediocrity, where banal and recessive 'theorizing', based on sullen revenge and greed, is grossly mistaken for forward-thinking preservationa dn protection policy.
Watch out: now Paulie can collude with Fat Fluffy Freddy Kagan (the bestest-selling 'author' of The Surge), on their next Excellent Psychopathic Adventure: to take a dump in Ahmedinejad's private toilet, and then order the former President of Iran to flush it.
Yep the rapture is nearly here!
What is next, really what is next?:/
He continues to stick his ugly face in the neo-conservative money trough
The American Enterprise Institute is like a cutting board which is only used for dissecting chicken-hawks.
One can continually disinfect the rest of the political kitchen (removing the toxic Wolfowitz from the World Bank), but they just go back to the source of the sicknesses and continue to multiply and fester and infect the rest of the political environment.
they must need a few more to change that lightbulb
He looks dirty.
Hey, anybody want to buy my sense of shame cheap. I just realized how much it's been hampering my chances for success!
good riddance! cheney and bush are next!
If a cashier was working at Kmart and got caught stealing $10 from the register, and the cashier's crime was well publicised such that all companies knew about it, the cashier would never ever again be trusted and would never find a job that involved any kind of trust.
These lying mobsters get caught in ethics violations in one place, some other cronie has their back and they just move on to the next position with the same bunch of cronies. This is ridiculous. A person can get thrown in jail for taking a candybar from Walmart, yet our government appointees can do anything. We are no longer a country of laws. We are run by a political mafia.
Ryan @ 30:
Iraq should be paying us back for blowing up that country's entire infrastructure. Then there should be a surcharge for the bullets and bombs we used killing 700,000 of them. Then there should be accounting fees for the billions stolen by the contractors. Then we should charge them for making us surge since March. Then we should charge them for making us attack Iran. Then we should charge them for making chainey out the cia agent and surcharge for the costs of suppressing the truth via the mainstream media.
Have we blamed the Iraqis sufficiently to suit your purposes? and if so, are we applying the appropriate charges?
A new job??!!! Why isnt that traitorous bastard in jail???
To hype-jersey: please dont compare the Mafia to the current administration. The Mafia has more class and ethics than ANY rethug in this entire country.
Hype-Jersey @ 77:
No, It's been a politcial mafia for quite some tyme, they're just not hiding it anymore...
BaScOmBe @ 78:
If you think we killed 700,000 Iraqis then you [are paying attention--you will keep your posts civil~sitemonitor]. They are killing each other and outsiders are coming in and making things worse. [deleted--don't advocate violence on this site again].
Another sinecure for a neo-con hack douchebag.
According to Gleen Greenwald's, A Tragic Legacy, (pp 173-74) he was at AEI as a resident scholar along with Richard Perle, Irving Kristol, David Frum, Michael Ledeen, John Yoo, Laurie Mylorie and Lynne Cheney. Quite a group. All neocons, so he's just rejoining his kind.
I think we should all be happy that an unemployed man was taken off the welfare roles today. Show him some love.
American Enterprise Institute is a conservative "think-tank." Like Pepperdine University positions like this are routinely handed out to disgraced politicians.
