Maybe now he’ll have time to cut his toenails and maybe even wash his hair. Doesn’t he look like a slimeball? Why is it so many of these guys are so creepy looking? I mean really creepy.

WASHINGTON (AFP) -World Bank president Paul Wolfowitz said Thursday he would resign at the end of June, ending a month-long scandal over a pay and promotions deal he awarded to his girlfriend.

In a statement issued at the end of three-days of deliberations by the World Bank board, Wolfowitz said he was resigning in the best interests of the institution.

“I am announcing today that I will resign as president of the World Bank Group effective at the end of the fiscal year (June 30, 2007),” Wolfowitz said in a statement Thursday.

His decision came as White House support appeared to crumble, with President George W. Bush earlier expressing “regret” over the favoritism scandal despite having stood resolutely behind his former Pentagon number two.
