Sour Over Her Sweetheart Deal

With Paul Wolfowitz leaving as president of the World Bank, the speculation now turns to whether Shaha Riza, the femme part of the Rizawitz combo, is ready to come back to her old job.

There can be no doubt she's furious about how she has been treated by the World Bank -- being forced to take a leave, staying on the bank's hideously cushy payroll, and having to endure enormous pay raises and promotions -- all because Wolfowitz wanted to be head of the bank.

In her April 30 deposition to an ad hoc committee looking into the situation, Riza seemed to be seething.

"We especially appreciate" your coming, lead committee member Herman Wijffels began, "because we understand how painful this whole episode must be for you."

1. What the Hell does she do to receive nearly $200,000.00 per year???

2. She does Wolfie.

And 200K doesn't seem like nearly enough for that.

4. Apparently, nothing!

She's not at State. There was a problem with her security clearance or some such. They shifted her to some other place that is "closely allied" to the State Dept. and associated with Cheney's daughter Elizabeth. But she seems to be MIA much of the time. She wasn't, you see, actually qualified for the positions she had at the World Bank, either. And she didn't get into the Bank through the usual vetting process. So she has manipulated and maneuvered her way to this high paying gratutious position that she has protected so fiercely.
