What a week this was. Bad behavior caught up with more than just Don Imus. Moral and ethics proponents around the country have a lot to rejoice. Paul Wolfowitz, the hawkish so called brains behind the Iraq war took the apology route under cover of the Imus melt down about his involvement in his girl friends job transfer and raise to $193k(tax free) at a U.S. funded foundation. Hopefully his luck has run out. An association of employees at the World Bank has asked him to resign. It sounds like he didn't take Casey Stengel's advice and keep the guy's who hated him away from the guy's who were undecided!
Wolfowitz is a might-makes-right gun boat diplomat who's stuck in the past and would do us all a favor by just fading away. He got us into this war and has been wrong in nearly every aspect of it and now makes $300k a year at a cushy job and can't stay out of trouble and how's this for irony, his emphasis while there has been to reduce corruption and require accountability of recipients of World Bank aid.
And then you have the Justice Department caught in a lie saying that 7 of 8 prosecutors were removed without replacements in mind. I bet someones hating computers about now. I noticed the Vice President was washing his hands of the matter or "distancing the administration" as the euphemism goes. The crazy thing here is that the best I can tell there wasn't much wrongdoing until they decided to start lying about it. Hopefully we will get a little closer to the truth now.
But as a father of a young daughter what made my week was the deeper legal hole Joe Francis, the head pimp of the "girls gone wild" farce empire, got himself into. What I wouldn't give to see this degenerate disappear. He doesn't deserve further discussion.
So it's been a good week and by the way please don't listen to what you'll surely start hearing about the loss of Don Imus as a blow to freedom and the American way. Instead, fill a bucket of water, place your hand in the water and remove it and wait 10 seconds. The impression your hand made is about the extent of the impression Don Imus's work on the radio will have made on the world in a year from now. Trust me.
