Default UAE who owns Dubai Port Co. Gave Bush Library 1 million smacker...

So, because Clinton, who is, last I checked, no longer president, might have
accepted money for his library or speeches, and because he failed to get his
former employee a job, that means that it's ok for Bush to do have accepted
the money. There could certainly not be any possibility of a conflict of
interest between a sitting president who accepted money from a foreign gov't
and an action that the sitting president is pushing hard to get completed.

You can of course cite a source for this?


Take a look at today's column from Novak. I recall reading the same
thing in another place in the last couple of days, but don't recall
where.

Even if true, what does
Clinton trying to help a friend get a job have to do with the price of
tea in China?


About the same as the 10 year old plus contribution to the library of
our current President's father.
