Somebody need to put up a profile for PW and Shaha on match.com fast.
We wouldn't want them to stay single for long.
After Shaha Riza resigned as PW's girlfriend, did she agree to stay on on a a'la'carte or fee for service basis until her permanent replacement is found?
Will her charges still be billed to the Bank? Does it come out of PW's allowance?
Who is PW looking to to replace Shaha?
Robin? Suzanne? Ana? Or is he going for some younger thing on Ana or Suzanne's staff?
Geeze, if I were George Folsom, I would DNA test 'his' kids just to be sure.
Wolfowitz's Girlfriend Resigns as his Girlfriend

May 8, 2007 - In yet another setback for the embattled World Bank president, Paul Wolfowitz’s girlfriend, Shaha Riza, announced today that she was resigning as Wolfowitz’s girlfriend, "effective immediately."
While Riza’s role in the conflict-of-interest scandal involving Wolfowitz and the World Bank had placed her in the eye of the media storm, few had expected her to relinquish her girlfriend post without a fight. But according to a source close to Riza, the increasing pressure on the high-profile couple in recent days had convinced her that she "could no longer function effectively as Paul Wolfowitz’s girlfriend."
A joint communiqué released by the couple indicated that the decision to leave her girlfriend post was entirely Riza’s, but sources close to Wolfowitz suggest that the idea had originated not with her, but with the World Bank president himself. According to one source, "Paul had dinner with Shaha last night and told her they should start seeing other banks."
News of Riza’s departure sparked speculation that Wolfowitz might have difficulty acquiring a new girlfriend, but according to Vice President Dick Cheney, who has served as Wolfowitz’s unofficial "wingman" for years, nothing could be further from the truth. "The fact that the World Bank found Paul guilty of wrongdoing gives him an air of danger," Cheney said. "The ladies dig that."
Elsewhere, after a welcoming speech in which he suggested that Queen Elizabeth II was over 230 years old, President Bush attempted to mend his verbal slip, saying, "The old girl doesn’t look a day over 130."

It could be worst, Shaha could be resigned to be his girlfriend, while he is busy chasing other skirts.
But then, she is use to being a bit player in the harem.
What about Suzanne Folsom.... is there any merit to the suggestion that she and PW are an item?
