I'm tempted to point to the contributions made by Dubai far more
recently to the Clinton library, or to the $600,000 they paid Bill for
speeches since 2002. Or to Bill's unsuccessful recent efforts to get
them to hire his former press secretary as a lobbyist.


You can of course cite a source for this? Even if true, what does
Clinton trying to help a friend get a job have to do with the price of
tea in China?

Cheers

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.

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.

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

That's your only comment? I'm not the one who's getting high. You brought up
Clinton, as a foil for what Bush is doing. Makes absolutely no sense.

Jon, you gotta stop smoking that stuff. When you sober up, go back and
take
a look at what happened.

Thanks Dave, Loackhart denies Clinton was involved, Clintons spokesman
says he doesn't think so, but some unnamed source with Lord only knows
what ax to grind say it's so, and you of course accept the view of some
left wing whacko journalists. ;-)

Exactly!
