Wolfowitz’s Futile Attempt to Save Face

by Dan Cody Leave a reply »

When you’re trying to “save face” like former Bush administration official Paul Wolfowitz is with the board of the World Bank, where he now serves as President and is facing a scandal because he got his girlfriend a cushy job with high pay, so instead of just booting him out the door, they boot him out of the door with a piece of paper saying how no one’s at fault, is it really saving face?

I mean, it’s being constantly reported in the media that his main concern is that in light of his corruption and poor management, and hence his being asked to leave by the board, that he’s demanding a “no one’s at fault” statement from the board as a condition of his leaving voluntarily.

I can see when these kind of things happen behind closed doors how it might work, but when the story is all over the media, it’s kind of hard to save face, don’t you think?
