This is priceless

Heh. Moron.

I'm surprised it took this long to link him to some form of corruption. Whats the old saying "the apple dosent fall to far from the tree"

I find it hard to believe that any woman, no matter how amazing, is worth $200,000 a year just for sex. (After all, Wolfie already has a wife and three kids.)

I mean, really, $200k for this:

The man should be let go for taste issues, let alone his corruption.

Isn't it generous of us to share our red rot with the World Bank?

The executive board of the World Bank has said it did not approve a hefty pay rise ordered by its president Paul Wolfowitz for his partner.

Mr Wolfowitz has faced calls to resign after admitting he helped his partner Shaha Riza win a promotion to a high-paying job at the World Bank.

Way to go... moron.

And she apparently doesn’t even pay taxes, since she’s not an American.

This statement looks a bit like odd ... why would not being American absolve her from paying tayes?

Gift tax rules with respect to expatriates

Nonresident noncitizens generally are subject to gift tax on certain transfers by gift of U.S.-situated property. Such property includes real estate and tangible property located within the United States. Unlike the estate tax rules for U.S. stock held by nonresidents, however, nonresident noncitizens generally are not subject to U.S. gift tax on the transfer of intangibles, such as stock or securities, regardless of where such property is situated.
