Return of the Wolfowitz Doctrine - Giving your girlfriend a promotion and raise

[ck4829]

The World Bank's employee organisation has questioned the promotion and pay raise of a female staffer it says is involved with bank president Paul Wolfowitz.

In a letter circulated internally to staff on Tuesday, the bank's Staff Association demanded an explanation from Wolfowitz and the board of member countries for what it called "violations of staff rules in favour of a staff member closely associated with the president".

The relationship with Shaha Riza, a former senior gender specialist and senior communications adviser in the bank's Middle East Department who had worked at the bank for eight years, became public when Wolfowitz took the helm in mid-2005.

2. A "senior gender specialist"??? What the hell is that!

If she's hanging around with that guy, she's not too good at her job.

5. Maybe he's got her stumped, genderwise. "What is he?"

6. Maybe that is what Repugs call hookers?

7. Here's a good definition

"...an active practitioner in psychotherapy, counseling, or education directly oriented toward gender-identity issues. It is recommended that care providers interested in establishing themselves as Gender Specialists undergo a minimum of two years of direct supervision or consultation with a practicing Senior Gender Specialist who is recognized as having advanced experience in providing consultation to peer practitioners."
