Hungry like the wolf
Apr. 30th, 2007 03:43 pmOk, one more and I promise to stop. Paul Wolfowitz, who, if he had a soul, would've crept off into obscurity ages ago, instead decides to hold out for more phat lootz:
Behind the scenes of the gladiatorial battle that will take place between Paul Wolfowitz and the World Bank Board today are efforts by his lawyer, Robert Bennett, and the Bank staff to negotiate terms of Wolfowitz's departure.
According to some insiders, Wolfowitz wants "some acknowledgment" of the Bank Board's complicity in the messy circumstances surrounding his and Shaha Riza's situation.
Secondly, allegedly on June 1st, Wolfowitz becomes eligible for some large financial bonus -- for performance and time on the job. One estimate puts this figure at about $400,000. Wolfowitz wants to make sure those funds are credited to his private bank account before saying farewell to an institution that has come to despise him.
Both sides have threatened each other with slow, painful, drip-drip approach to the release of damaging information that each side has about the other.
One blast in the battle are revelations that it costs the Bank a whopping $5 million per year to pay for Wolfowitz's security detail.
TBogg provides us with the definitive response:
Wow. $5 million is a lot of cash for security. He must have solid platinum fembot bodyguards who shoot diamond bullets through their nipples, but unfortunately aren't hardwired to have sex with him which is why the State Department has to step in to pay his sex poodle to "lick his comb", if you know what I mean and I'm sure you wish you didn't.
Keep in mind that $400,000 isn't that much in todays dollars. That's like, two years worth of girlfriend payments tops providing she doesn't ask him for another raise.
Actually, we'd rather not think about that...
