It’s only a few graph editorial. I don’t write them. It was powerful. I suppose they assumed people could read more than the first sentence and someone who claimed over and over that the case against Wolfowitz was solid would have taken time out of this obsession to like you know actually read all that was posted in contradiction of her claim.

Firat you say the WSJ didn’t tag Mellert. I cite articles saying they did. You continue and I then cite the exact words and you come back with why didn’t they put it in the lede? LOL Move those goal posts.
What’s the next comment? Why didn’t they read it to me?

Sure can. The US Senate confirms appointments made by the POTUS. The World Banks Board of Governors elects Presidents of the World Bank nominated by the POTUS.

No, it’s not moving goal posts, it’s your misreading my original message. If melkert really is a badguy the story needs to be about him not wolf. instead he’s only a bit player. it’s the focus. wsj really needs to offer him as the alternative source of all evil otherwise it just looks like they are defending wolf as a trusted pal for their-well known personal reasons. they need to write w/o fear or favor

This isn't about a sex it's about nepotism.

How is it different from Clinton / Lewinsky? They both had employees who were their girlfriends.

Well, I hope you won;t regard it as an insult, but I actually think the editors of the wsj know what they are doing and do a damned fine job of it.And in explaining why they think Wolfowitz was set up it was correct to point a finger at Melkert.

Except Wolfowitz isn’t part of the administration.
