Searching for Something to Do...

Posted by on Thu, Dec 18, 2008 at 10:40 AM

...because everyone's calling in snow-stuck and it's a slow day at the office? Well, if it's really slow you could join the political world in searching through Bill Clinton's newly-released foundation donor archives.

The word so far: more than $10 million from the Saudi government, and somewhere between $10 million and $25 million from Bill Gates.

I'm sorry- why the fuck does anyone other than Fox News care about this issue?

Gosh that awful Clinton.

He got Saudis and rich guys to donate money to fight disease and poverty. Disgusting.
And he did it all for celebrity and his oncontrollable erupting vanity and ambition, my god we would never expect anyone else to be that way. Or to take money or support from someone that you disagree with to advance a larger goal.
Thankfully Obama would NEVER do that. He's so different, he would NEVER get support from someone just because they are rich or famous or a big celeb in a cynical ploy to maximize his power to get stuff passed and things.

#3 Give me a break. Politics and money will always do the dirty dance. Maybe Blagojevich is guilty and maybe not. But Bill Clinton does many good things around the world. More power to him.
