Day 2325: Wolfie Whistles

Monday:


So, Daddy and I were SLIGHTLY STARTLED to hear some bloke called Mr David Rifkin on the The Today Programme decrying an attempted European COUP against America.

Had we missed something rather URGENT in the headlines? Should we be considering taking to the SHELTERS?

But then it turned out that he was in fact talking about whether his FRIEND Mr Woof Paulowitz would get FIRED.

Daddy told me to look up the word HYPERBOLE!

That is right: Mr Rifkin is an American who is overpaid, over here and WAY WAY OVER THE TOP!

As you may remember, Mr Woof faces facing the music at the World Bankbecause he has had his fingers in the honey pot on behalf of his girlfriend. That is what a panel of executives from the World Bank say, anyway.

It would seem that Mr Rifkin believes that BEING AMERICAN is enough to excuse lying and corruption. If ONLY Al Capone had REALISED!

"This is an attack on the Monkey-in-Chief's Administration," he insisted, "and you cannot separate the Administration from America!"

Actually, you CAN do that, and indeed the American people have ALREADY done that, when they rejected the Monkey-in-Chief at the polls last year. That is why Mr Monkey has had to veto his own budget and in turn that is why he is shortly going to run out of money. Perhaps he could do with a BANK LOAN – I wonder if he has any friends in the Banking Industry… ah!

Blaming your allies when your slimy friends get caught bang-to-rights really is a case of burning your bridges WHILE YOU ARE CROSSING THEM! It is never going to save Mr Woof, and you might just need the co-operation of those Europeans if you want to get another President of the World Bank installed. Ever.

Clearly, though, Mr Rifkin believes that the best form of defence is an offence… and the best form of offence is to strap yourself to an ATOM BOMB and kiss your BOTTOM goodbye!

Update!

Wolfie Whistles Off!

Day 2294: Wolfie in Sheepish Clothing

Friday:


Oh dear, the Monkey-in-Chief’s imposition as head of the World Bank, Mr Wolfie Paulowitz has had to APOLOGISE.

Mr Wolfie, who has sworn to crack down on corruption and nepotism, has very slightly used his position to give a great big job and a huge pay rise to his GIRLFRIEND without asking the permission of the actual people in charge.

“I was new to the job and made a mistake,” is his version of the story. The mistake being that he forgot he was no longer in the Monkey-in-Chief’s WHITE HOUSE where it is ROUTINE PROCEDURE to fix big jobs and huge wedges of wonga for our mates. Allegedly.

Quite a lot of people at the World Bank are seeing this as an excuse to get rid of the hated [bad word] a reason why the compromised chief should consider his position. The Bank’s staff association called it “grossly out of line”, though when they go on to suggest that he has “compromised” his “integrity and effectiveness” they have clearly forgotten who they are talking about!

But before we call out the villagers with the pitchforks and flaming torches, we should, however, listen to the WISDOM of Liberal Democrat MALCOLM the BRUCE.

He points out that singing the Schadenfreude Song and sacking Mr Wolfie might be FUN, but it could just let the Monkey-in-Chief appoint another NUTTER to the job, and actually PROLONG the New Con power over the World Bank.
