I expected better from someone as bright at Pat Buchanan. Wolfowitz screwed up here for sure. But other stories I've read about it said he stayed out of his gf's promotion there until he got sick of her being in limbo because no one could make a decision. And it's not Wolfowitz's fault that World Bank employees pay no US taxes. It's been that way for a long long time before he got there. It's totally irrelevant that his gf makes more than Sec. Rice, since Rice is paid by the Dept. of State, whereas Wolfowitz's gf is only detailed there a World Bank employee and is paid by the World Bank. Though, as the World Bank's largest contributor (I read 16% the other day), Wolfowitz and his gf go get some of their pay from US taxpayers. Pat can do way better than this.
