Wolfowitz will receive $400,000 "performance bonus" tomorrow from World Bank

[PA Democrat]

Wolfowitz will be able to collect a $400,000 performance bonus due him on June 1, according to two senior bank officials. US officials asked him to stay on as a caretaker until the end of June to allow time for the naming of a successor.

1. In bizarro Bushworld

fucking up is generously rewarded.

6. Same is true in corporate America.

The worker bees get laid off, fired, lose their benefits and pensions, and the CEOs responsible for the bad decisions that led to the company's economic woes get their golden parachutes.

[whistle]

2. Is that hush money?

[PA Democrat]

10. Hey, the guy needs new socks.

You'd begrudge the guy a few bucks to spruce up his image? :sarcasm:

[whistle]

11. oh, that's for the foot fetish girlfriend Shaha Ali Riza

...I think Wolfowitz might do himself in over all of this humiliation

3. If I got a dollar for every time I screwed up

I might equal that.

4. Sometimes I wish I was a self centered asshole too....

but not for too long.

5. Performance bonus?

FOr what? Getting laid? He was that good?

9. LOL! Actually, I hear the girlfriend has dumped him.

[Mz Pip]

16. Guess it wasn't

that performance. It might have been a $400,000 fuck but his screwing involved more than just the girlfriend.

7. I haven't done the country or the World Bank nearly as much damage

So, I should be entitled to an $800,000 performance bonus.

Where do I pick up my check, and is that before or after taxes?

8. Performance? How would the World Bank know how ToeJam "performs?"

:evilgrin:

12. Seems to me, he should owe $4 million for the hassle he

created.

What is this w/all of these failures getting "bonuses"? If I got a bonus each time I screwed up, I'd be on easy street...

[Raksha]

13. So they had to bribe him $400,000 to get rid of him?

That's WAY too cheap, in my never-humble opinion. He should have held out for at least a million.

14. This is why he was stalling

If he'd left earlier he wouldn't have picked up the two-year bonus (June 1 was the day he assumed the post).

Disgusting little creep.

15. The world bank handles billions ....

.... so $400 K to make him go away is seen as a good deal.

BTW in April the board of directors told Paul not to come to
a international meeting in June ....

Wolf oh QUITZ was just trying to get as much money as possible.
