While I have backed off on the preaching recently, I still get a kick out of some stories I read on the internet. Funny story of the day revolves around Mrs Hillary Clinton. According to the story, Hillary was unaware of her husband's recent advising of Dubai on how to handle the port situation. Hillary was one of the strongest and most vocal opponents of the deal. Are people really expected to beleive that Hillary had no idea of Bill's close ties to Dubai? Do the Clintons really think we are all that stupid?
Bill Clinton earned $450,000 last year lecturing in Dubai. His presidential library received between $500,000 and $1 Million from officials in Dubai. The UAE contributed $100 Million to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort, which Clinton was involved in and it is well known in the Middle East that the UAE is a strong supporter of Clinton. For Hillary to claim she didn't know anything is just ridiculous.
I just think it was kind of funny how this story has been relegated to the back pages of the newspapers. A woman who very well could be the 2008 Democratic Presidential Candidate seems to be getting a free pass on this from our "fair and impartial" media. If something like this would occur to a very influential Republican family, I am sure they would be cut down in the media as liars and bastards. Just an interesting observation....

Okay, Todd. I'm calling your bluff.
1. Bill made money lecturing in Dubai. This is not the same as being paid by the Dubai government, which is essentially who owns the port company in question. Since Tiger Woods plays Dubai all the time, does that mean he's on the payroll there?
Regardless, this is not in the same league as Bob Dole being directly hired to lobby Dubai at the same time his wife Elizabeth could vote on the deal. I think Bob's a generally trustworthy guy, but I find it hard to believe there's no conflict of interest there.
2. Presidential library donation. Dubai officials donated $1m to Bush 41's library. At worst, its a push. At best Bush 41 got twice as much, according to your numbers.
3. Katrina relief. Explain exactly how Bill Clinton benefited from this. Then explain how Hillary has anything to do with it. Looks like a stretch to me.
4. Dubai a strong support of Clinton? Not that I care if they are or not, but where's your proof?
5. God help us all if Hillary is ever elected. It took Dubya makes the Clintons look honest.
God bless ya, Todd, but sometimes I gotta wonder where you get this stuff. :-)

It seems as though my liberal readers are a little touchy when I mention the great William Jefferson Clinton. I guess I rambled a little too much on the Dubai connection, but my actual point wasn't about the money.
My point was the way it was covered (or should I say lack of coverage)in the media. Hillary seems to get a free pass when these interesting little things come up, but any Republican gets grilled and labelled as a liar and corrupt.
Whoops, my bad. Slick Willie's whoring himself out to Dubai just like BobDole. For Hillary to pretend she doesn't know about it is just plain stupid. Hillary isn't as accomplished a liar as Bill and it shows.
I think Hillary is a stupid, opportunistic beeyach and frankly don't care to hear about her, whether its good news or bad. So in light of that, maybe the media's doing us a favor, eh?
That was MT.Net, btw. I'm too lazy to sign up for a Blogger account...
