"There should be no safe haven for those who steal from

the poor," says Robert Zoellick, President of the World Bank.

"That's why I have issued an order to have the entire staff

of the International Monetary Fund arrested."

Robert Zoellick, the head of the World Bank, wasn't quite

sure what Paul Wolfowitz meant the other day when he said,

"I think Bob knows what he wants to do and I think he'll do

a good job." Privately, Mr. Zoellick says he's never trusted

Wolfowitz since the day he asked to borrow his comb.

"The question was, 'Why didn't the President appoint as the

new head of the World Bank someone who looks like the average

Joe with a last name easy to spell, like Smith, Jones, or Johnson'?

Well, I'm afraid you'll just have to ask him."

"WOLFOWITZ AND GAL PAL SPLIT UP" screams the New

York Post headline. Now that Shaha has given Paul the

old heave-ho, maybe he will attempt to rekindle an old

flame, Claire Selgin, the mother of his three children and

an expert on Indonesian anthropology.

Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson looked high and low for

Paul Wolfowitz supporters. All he found was Dick Cheney,

who gave the embattled World Bank president the kiss of

death when he said, "Paul is one of the most faithful public

servants I've ever known."

“If they f*ck with me or Shaha," Paul thought, "I have

enough on them to f*ck them too, right in the asterisk!”

"Paul, remember Kevin Kellems, your close aide? Well, he

just resigned from the World Bank. Yeah, Kevin says he's leaving

to pursue 'other opportunities', and apparently one of those

opportunities is your erstwhile shackmate, Shaha Riza, who

is going to spend the raise you got for her at State on a long

vacation with Kevin in Rio."

"That's right, Paul. The buzz around the Bank right now

is you're going to be replaced by Ken Shabby."
