Why Won't Wolfowitz Walk?

God I love alliteration.

So anyway, this Wolfowitz dude. What's up with that? He admits to playing favorites with his girlfriend (getting her transferred plus giving her a raise) and yet he doesn't resign. What's up with that?

He's President of the World Bank for crissakes. You know, that gigantic financial institution that's supposed to be tough on corruption. He's admitted to the malfeasance, so why/how is he taking the high road? I don't get that. Now if he denied giving his girl a raise, and then took the high road, that I would get. Sort of how the Marcoses think they're saviors or the nation. (The $20B... oh that was Yamashita's treasure that we discovered and which we are now sharing with the country... )

Lesson number one, Mr. Wolfowitz: never admit to wrongdoing. Even if you've been caught red-handed (It's not what you think). Even if your accusers have video (Kamukha ko lang yun). Never, EVER, admit to doing anything wrong. Because when you do, you look silly taking the whole self-righteous path afterwards. You deny. You always deny. It is always better to deny then take the high road. Taking the high road after admitting you were wrong insults our intelligence. Now denying something you obviously did, that's trying to save what little dignity you have left. That's pitiful. And it insults everyone's intelligence as well, but at least there's a logic to it.

Now that BP CEO, that's a class act. He admits to lying under oath, then he resigns. I don't think he should have resigned (so he's gay, so he got involved with a male escort -- he transformed BP from a small UK oil firm to a Shell wannabe), but he admitted to the lying part, and resignation is the natural consequence of the confession. I guess that's why he's a knight and Wolfowitz is... well Wolfowitz.
