Checking the appellation trail left by other news organizations on the Wolfowitz case, one finds, most commonly, girlfriend and companion, but also friend (CNN.com), romantic partner (the Dallas Morning News), a close female friend (the Money Times of India), and even gal (the Village Voice). Bloomberg News has used partner, which the Times style guide calls “a suitable term for an unmarried companion of the same sex or the opposite one. But if the context allows misreading to mean a business partnership, use companion instead.”
Suggested euphemisms for the chick Paul Wolfowitz is paying to fuck him:
* Galpal
* Friend w/ benefits
* Fuck-buddy
* What’s-her-face
* The Wolfucker
* The dumbest woman in Washington
* Shaha Ali RZA, aka Barbara Digital
