I know that but Jim, doesn't!

Bert,
Clinton did not make any gift. It was a program set up by his foundation,
paid for by drug companies.

Extract (Note British spelling -- the American press declined to report
this)

New York - Former US president Bill Clinton announced on Monday a plan
to provide treatment for more than 60 000 Aids-infected children in
China and nine other countries, expanding a programme already underway
in Thailand and Brazil.

The William J Clinton Foundation will donate $10m to provide
AIDS-suppressing paediatric drugs to infected children in Asia, the
Caribbean and Africa.


Interestingly, the Bush Family is very wealthy, yet I am unaware of any
substantial charitable activities and donations of that family.

The question becomes why the gift was given and why a big deal was made
of the gift. If you make a donation and then tell everyone about it your
reasons for making the gife are suspect.
