Democrats for Wolfowitz !!!!
Senator Joe Biden isn't the only Democrat supporting Paul Wolfowitz for president of the World Bank.

Stephen F. Hayes

Washington (The Daily Standard) - TODAY SENATOR JOE BIDEN, vice chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and a leading Democratic foreign policy voice in that body, voiced strong support for Paul Wolfowitz as President George W. Bush (news - web sites)'s choice to head the World Bank (news - web sites).



Biden described Wolfowitz, currently deputy secretary of defense, as a man with an "active and fertile mind" who believes in the work of multilateral institutions. Asked for his reaction to the selection, Biden responded with one word: "Solid."

WTF is WRONG with the man? Voted for Condi, too.

He needs some "correction", I fear.

6. The point is all of Europe and most of Asia does NOT want Wolfie.
And apparently the only nation in favor (from what I've read) is Israel.

So, there's that.

7. Even so
He will still end up with the position.
I write letters, I make calls. It seems to be futile. Biden and those so called Dems like him who are supposed to espouse a particular view just fall in line with the Reps.

This administration has just started with the next four years and we should be fighting them tooth and nail. The party should be holding press conferences every day and fighting instead of falling into line.

..Not being quoted in the weekly standard approving the wingnut for this position. It does us harm.

5. Needs a whole lot more than...
... a dope slap, I fear. Needs to be put out of office at the earliest possible opportunity, and denied any future chance at illegitmate income.

3. Of course, I'm going to listen carefully...
... to the wisdom from a hack writer from the Weekly Standard, and pay particular attention to Joe Biden's and Pat Leahy's advice about a corrupt neo-con like Wolfowitz.

To anyone supporting Wolfie, I say, eat shit and die.

As quickly as possible, please.

4. Wolfie lost all credibility in the comb licking pics
Little things mean a lot. Do you know the germ content in doing such a thing?

9. That made me sick when I saw that
Something else happened I will never forget. Jay Leno ran the clip on the tonight show. It was Senator Ted Stevens (R) sitting there picking his nose....and the camera was dead on him! If that wasn't enough he sat there and was rolling the booger up in his fingers. Leno was cracking up,but it made me sick.

Remember when Chimpy cleaned his glasses on that producer's sweater during a break on the David Letterman show? What is it with repukes that they have such disgusting habits? :puke:

13. Aw, it's OK. He was on the phone with BONO!
Edited on Fri Mar-18-05 11:47 AM by gauguin57
According to the news today, Wolfie had two spirited phone conversations with Bono about world poverty, debt cancellation, etc. So I guess all's right with the world.

NOT!!!!

God! Just when I think things can't get bleaker ... they still manage to!

16. Biden is with THEM...
he is part of the sex club....his little staffer took the heat....in jail for 36 months for stealing 412,000 from Biden's REELECTION FUND! I don't believe he spent the $$$ alone....I'll bet dollars to donuts, Joe helped spend it. Remember, Gannon said he couldn't believe Biden did not mention knowing him on Bill Mahr's HBO crap fest! He was disappointed....said "come on Joe...think!" This was several days before the arrest of Bidens campaign aide. I am noticing the "sex club" sticks together!
