May 18, 2007 -- Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean issued the following statement following World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz’s resignation:

“The World Bank did what the White House won’t: hold its people accountable.

His incompetence is only rivaled by that of Attorney General Gonzales. America deserves leaders we can trust. It’s time for Gonzales to join Wolfowitz and be shown the door.”
