Goodbye and good riddance

War criminal Paul Wolfowitz 'resigned' as president of the World Bank on Thursday, ending a protracted battle over his corrupt stewardship prompted by his involvement in a high-paying promotion for his companion.

“The poorest people in the world ... deserve the very best we can deliver,” Wolfowitz said in a statement. “Now it is necessary to find a way to move forward.” (with the cash?)

His resignation takes effect on June 30.
