Excerpt -

LITTLE ROCK — Former president Bill Clinton said Monday that he remembered the moment he realized he made the shift from a world leader to a philanthropist.

"One day I was shaving in my house up in New York and Ilooked at myself in the mirror, and I thought, 'My God, I've become an NGO (non-government organization),'" Clinton told a crowd of 300 people gathered at his presidential libary in downtown Little Rock.

"My climate-change initiative is being funded by Barbra Streisand and Rupert Murdoch," Clinton said, delighted by the unlikely alliance between the actress and the chief of Fox News. "I'm quite sure it's the first thing they've ever done together. For all I know they'll go off into the sunset together."

I thought New York was his home state. His wife reprsents New York, I thought. Do they not live in the same state?

Dem "philanthropy" is hypocrisy of the worst kind. There is nothing altruistic about it. It is false charity and never is given without a price.

My eyes are playing tricks on me. I thought the title said
"Clinton to address a group of philanderers"

I see in the last paragraph an explanation for why FOX, CNN, and MSNBC are beginning to look just like CBS, NBC, ABC news-Change the channel- you get the same report.

Too bad.

But you'll always be a low-life, Bill.

The state of denial.

The state of confusion.

In religious circles he will present himself as the "Good Samaritan" likeness. I can hear his Hillry for president stump speeches already. Big daddy made the sun and moon, pass the plate.
