Did you see this? Paul Wolfowitz has blamed the media for his troubles. From the BBC

The outgoing president of the World Bank, Paul Wolfowitz, has told the BBC an “overheated” atmosphere at the bank and in the media forced him to resign.

This points the finger of blame at our “liberal media” or in this case “liberal” editorial boards. Well - Paul don’t blame the Democrat and Chronicle - you can always count on the the support of the D&C Editorial Board. Recall they opined this piece of support - this piece of treat him “fairly”.

(April 27, 2007) — World Bank president Paul Wolfowitz, as wrong as he certainly was in steering his girlfriend into a cushy government job and creating some well-paid slots for old cronies, should be judged by his board on his overall performance as head of this important institution.

But it’s only fair to him, and to the reputation of the World Bank, that he stay or go based on what he’s done at the bank, and whether his patronage maneuvers have crippled his ability to serve.

Perhaps a monetary penalty is in line, or a public censure. But the board has to be as objective as it can in this judgment. And that means looking at the whole picture.

You have to read my post about it for the entire piece. You can find it here.

So Paul - you got canned at the World Bank for cronyism by giving your girlfriend a whopping big pay raise and as I understand it hiding it from the board. You have the nerve to blame the media for your troubles. Look in a mirror for who to blame but…

Don’t blame the Democrat and Chronicle Editorial Board. Yeah they have other issues, lots of them but don’t point the finger of blame in their direction - they supported you.

In fact - move to Rochester, there are some town blogging spots that are open, the type of cronyism you practice would fit right in at the Water Authority (I don’t recall the D&C calling for any resignations there either).

Yeah Paul - you would fit right in here.

(note: I’d be remiss if I didn’t credit some posts at Americablog and Huffpost for helping me locate some background information).
