Paul Wolfowitz’s tenure as the President of the World Bank is in trouble. He allegedly gave his girlfriend a raise and that, for many, is grounds for his ouster. Others say that Wolfowitz is merely the object of a European led smear.

The New York Times says that Wolfowitz has lost all creditability as World Bank President. It’s not his “past job,” but his nepotism that makes it time for him to go.

The LA Times agrees that Wolfowitz’s career at the bank should end. He came into his job with an agenda to end corruption at the World Bank. His own corruption makes that agenda impossible under his leadership.

The Economist reports that as far as the Europeans go, the verdict on Wolfowitz is in. The only thing left to be decided is the sentence.

The Wall Street Journal offers some of the missing story in the Wolfowitz scandal. The facts, they say, show no misdeeds on Wolfowitz’s part, but provide evidence of a smear that has little to do with Wolfowitz’s alleged nepotism.

James Fallows thinks that Wolfowitz is more like Jimmy Swaggart than Robert McNamara—a man who lives in hypocrisy.

Richard Cohen says that all is not fair in love and war. If you start an unjustified war you can keep your job and even get promoted, but if you give your girlfriend a raise? That is grounds for a firing.

The editors at Le Monde say that if Wolfowitz doesn’t resign, the European’s will have to go against tradition and oust him.
