So he got some married honey where the world gets their money. What's the problem?

That's really kind of a stupid attack, smitty, when you think about it. Not that I'm a fan of the IMF or anything.

Nothing screams "You are an incompetent and probably criminal rascal!" like having an affair outside of marriage. History is littered with the ruins of civilizations that ignored this truth.

Like, um....

The IMF doesn't have any enforcement powers with regards to stock markets or banking in developed countries.

nashBridges: They don't have any enforcement powers beyond attaching conditions to loans, do they?

That's my understanding. I think they might have some more clout with regards to exchange rates.

nashBridges: Asshat rulers of smaller countries just take the money and run, and there's little they can do about it.

How about not giving money to asshat rulers?

Really? In the movies they always go around blowing things up and rappelling down things

I always hear that theme song in my head when I read an article about them.

The IMF can DIAF for all I care. Let them get so caught up in this bullshiat that they have to stop screwing developing countries over with their outdated, exploitative, neo-liberal policies.

It is called ditching the post when they ship is about to sink.

Once again we learn that humanity's greatest obsession, even in the face of financial ruin, is what consenting adults do with their genitals.

anyone gots a picture of what punnany is worth losing a job for?

Well, that's all right then.

I've heard rumors of some sort of rubbing together, and even some wild speculation about insertion, but surely such extreme fantasy is way beyond the pale.

So far I've only seen one comment asking whether she's hot. Shame on you all.

"The IMF is a perfectly splendid thing!". PAH.

Is. She. Hot.

(Doubtful but still)

I am truly disappointed in FARK. I came (no pun intended) in here for a discussion of extramarital sex and got monetary policy.

But is she hot?

i think that jewish broad livini is hot is a milf kind of way.

No, the question is "Is HE hot?"

Personally, I believe that's no one's business.

It's VERY different when it's a subordinate though. That just screams unethical. Raises, promotions, choice assignments? How would you like to work with a peer that you know is nailing your boss, especially in these economic conditions? If he has to make a staff cut, you think he's gonna cut himself off from getting it on a regular basis?

I guess there is more tolerance for that sort of thing at the IMF than at the world bank. Maybe they'll hire Wolfowitz.

So, due to the bad economy, this should not have been addressed?

Is that it, Subby?

SUBBY?

Yeah, what's with that? Is there something about international finance that's just irresistibly sexy? Or is it just impossible for these people to mate outside their circles?

Another one of the wolfowitz,greenspan,bloomberg bedouin tribe ???

The men are usually middle-aged übernerds who lack the appeal to women that comes from being hardass players in the private sector. The women, like all women in the money business, consider it a loss of status to pair up with a man outside the business, or inside it but with less status than they have.

I defer to Colbert (the real one) on this:

"If you've got time for an affair, you're not working hard enough."

Women are like shingles, if you don't keep em nailed down they'll fly off.

Didn't nearly the same thing happen with Paul Wolfowitz at the World Bank? Wasn't he banging a subordinate and giving her promotions and the like?

So? As a shareholder, I'm *much* more upset about golden parachutes being offered to CEOs than about what that CEO is doing socially.
