Never admit you were wrong, never admit defeat, never let go of power and never stop trying to get more.

World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz has hired a high-profile lawyer who hopes to
present to a special bank committee Wolfowitz's case that he was not unethical
in directing a promotion for his girlfriend.

...

He said Wolfowitz would not resign and said he had not been hired to negotiate a
termination agreement for the embattled bank president, the former U.S. deputy
defense secretary and architect of the invasion of Iraq.

Talk about a pattern.

The Pentagon ordered a U.S. contractor to hire a World Bank employee and girlfriend of then-Pentagon No. 2 Paul Wolfowitz in 2003 for work related to Iraq, the contractor said on Tuesday.

A spokeswoman for Science Applications International Corp., or SAIC, said the Defense Department's policy office directed the company to enter a subcontract with Shaha Riza, under which she spent a month studying ways to form a government in Iraq.

Do it on your own dime, buddy.

Paul Wolfowitz.

World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz said on Thursday he made "a mistake for which I am sorry" over his handling of the promotion and pay increase of a staff member, Shaha Riza, whom he is dating.

Good gravy, can we at least keep our problems to ourselves and not foist them on the world?

For the record, Wolfowitz is a "Good Bushie."
