LET'S REVIEW BROOKS ON WOLFOWITZ

Times columnist, David Brooks, opines on
why Wolfie was canned as prexy of the
World Bank. Main points: the political cul-
ture of our moment plus the fact Wolfie did
not kiss the ass of the department heads &
the many vice presidents spread hither &
yon. As is Brooks want,however, he simply
ignores or distorts any data which could
grant alternatives to his fixed interpret-
ations. Use Wolfies name in public,
he is par boiled and his incompetance is
there for God and man to see. But Paul
is not the thrust of this essay. Davey Boy
is, severe limitations and all.

No single point in Brooks impressions
rings true. e.g. 90% of the staff @ World
Bank are democrats, 90% of "media
types are also dems, 90% of academi-
cians who comment on his job perform-
ance are dems. Wrong, wrong, & wrong.
Even the dumbest of the dumb know
that people who deal in money (as ban-
kers do) are invariably conservative Re-
pugs. Media types are generally 50/50
with few having the moxie to tell the
facts they know to be the truth. Aca-
demicians,too, are about 50/50 over-
all. In some places they are 90% one
way or the other.In some places the con-
servatives are 100% . That never happens
with Dems, wish it did.

Davey the Brookster tells us Wolfie came to
the Bank lugging the heavy baggage of Iraq.
That is inaccurate. Wolfie never considered
it baggage. He believed & still believes the
pre-emtive invasion of that sovereign land,
which did us no harm, was a concept whose
time had come, and Wavey Davey, sorcerer
in charge of Neo-conism, and who is
anchored by scribe status at N. Y. Times,
is side by side with Der Volf on this. Both
now claim it was simply botched by D. C.
bureaucrats.

Brooks doesn't rap about Wolfies' qual-
ifications, or lack thereof, for the position
of W.B. president. No banking experience,
no "how to" on poverty reduction. And his
decided reputation as a lousey , inept
manager. Instead, the Neocon Propagan-
dist, plants a brand new thought: the banks
staff was out to get der Volf because he did
not "woo" them when he took over. I know
a two headed orang utang that fell off his
perch laughing when that bit of idiocy was
laid on him.

Truth is,Wolfies demise as Prexy was inevit-
able due to 3 apointments he made in the first
months he got there. Kevin Kellums, one of
his helpers at the Pentagon, Robin Cleveland
director of security at OMB, Susie Folsome,
Dept .of Institutional Integrity chief. All
plucked from the noble and learned Bush
sect. Brooks never speaks about the unholy
three. Perhaps Davey knows of their rude,
crude abrasive 'tudes toward All members
of the bank. Ms. Cleveland worked for Sen.
Mitch McConnell where she earned the tell-
tail soubriquet"The dragon lady". At least
1/2 dozen department heads and 6 or 7
vice presidents left the bank. The few that
spoke of their resignations put the abusive
demeanor of those charmers, Robie and
and Susie, at the head of the list .

Brooks never wrote or told us a single de-

tail about Wolfie lying when he said he

told Ethics Director Melkart and General

Counsel Roberto Danino (Former prime

minister of Peru) about his plans of the

status of Riza and her raises in salary.Der

Volf said they had approved. Both denied

it. Matter of fact Danino resigned because

of it. We must remember Wolfie headed

a group-think crowd of neocons who acc-

epted lying as a normal way of life, hence

it never phased Davey, a fellow neocon.

Why was Davey silent on the letter Wolfie

circulated that claimed Shengman Zhang &

his wife worked for the bank and approved

Risa working there knowing she and Volfs

liason?.Paul, ever the trickster, skipped the

fact the Bank okayed the Zhangs working

there under certain relevant rules.One of

which was to show proof of marriage.

Doesn't it make a person wonder who is

the bigger culprit: Wolfie for his false-

hoods or Davey for ignoring and cover-

ing them up. The Zhangs' denied it all.

Lastly, Brooks has the insolence to emit

words that he has to know will not hold

water. He claims Risa is not the cause of

Der Volfs downfall. He can't be that stupid,

can he? Danino resigned because of it.

Shengman also. As noted, infra, so did a

dozen or more top execs. The privacy of

the bank was thrown open to radio, T.V.,

the Blogosphere, newspapers and every

cocktail lounge in 3 continents. If it was

not for the stupidity of Wolfie's salacious

situation, his poor management & other

bones of contention would have been

negotiated & settled. How do I know?

Because NO-ONE, on either side, wanted

their dirty linen washed in public. Which

brings us to why not a person wants Der

Volf around them now. When he made a

threat to turn rat & divulge

the skeletons of his erstwhile buddies he

lost the trust of those that didn't like him,

but believed in his omerta. God, he is

such a filthy piece of work.

And Brooksy? He is a hyperbolic, neo-con

justifier. Makes no diff if they lied us into

war, stole our money, given their loyal-

ties to another country, he will defend the

neo-cons. A fair and balanced sentence

for him would be to spend 10 years as

Bill O'Reilly's assistant at Fox news.
