October 10, 2002 -- WASHINGTON - Former President Bill Clinton was showered with pricey gifts while he was in office from the leaders of Nigeria, Saudi Arabia and elsewhere, but he didn't disclose them because they were earmarked for his presidential library in Arkansas, a new report yesterday revealed.

and for the time being I'll be satisfied with the knowledge that Hillary's a$$ is getting bigger every day

i laughed my head off at that! i haven't been paying attention to her, but you are right. that little bit of catty womanly revenge will do me, until the elections, and i pray you are right, that we can take back the Senate. that will make me VERY happy and will signal some retribution for all we have withstood.

The library is ALSO going to have an APARTMENT for the Clintons. That's why I say it doesn't matter where THEY SAY the stuff is going. It's ALL THE SAME because they (or Bubba)will be living(part time at least) there. It's just another co-mingling of everything to keep everyone confused and STEAL, FUNNEL, etc. whatever they please and use it the way they PLEASE.

They also have plenty of willing participants to help keep it secret. If it gets out they just say IT'S OLD NEWS. I can guarantee you that Hillary is doing the EXACT same thing in New York. She doesn't know any other way.

Yes, I know about the apartment. Also there is that lodge on the lake that is supposed to be a "conference center" but will no doubt be nothing but a party house.

I would be very happy if a covert operation broke into that warehouse and took all the loot. Failing that, a well-placed tornado could scatter things all over Arkansas.

What mystifies me is that no one in the mainstream press ever wonders about this stuff. It is just accepted.

If we are lucky the library will fall off in the river, the "conference center" will never get done and a tornado will take care of the warehouse. lol!

I don't understand how they can get enough in fundraising for all of this and have Hillary run for president also. Not to mention all the bumming they do in between.

I really don't think anyone or anything can embarrass them. This is the only way they know how to live. I suppose they think everyone else lives like this also.

BTW, they are NOT finished getting caught up in scandals because they also don't think they will ever be caught. So far that's been true. I can't remember when one of the Clintons was not in some kind of scandal.

The Judith Lieber handbags, (as you well know, MM), mostly studded with swarovski crystals, are prized among the elite and collectors.

It's hard to imagine Hillary and Old Crusty doing one of these darling bags justice. I imagine a plain, sensible Coach handbag is more Hillary's style...if she ever carries one?

No matter, a "pig" with a gold ring in it's nose is still a "pig".

Take that, Hillary.

The presidential library for the Clintons is such a joke.

It will be as much a presidential library as Sadaam's presidential palaces.

I still say that Bill does all that overseas traveling so that he can bring money home. Then it gets put in the library fund, and we never hear about it again.

Trie had, on at least one occasion, given the first lady a pearl necklace

Would that be the ZZ Top Definition of Pearl necklace?

Oh these people are clever.

Soon, another one of the pre Library mini exibitions will open downtown. "Stuff" is removed from the archives, and put on display, usually with a theme. The newest one will be "Christmas at the White House" or something like that. There is supposed to be a 12 foot hand blown "Dale Chiluly" christmas tree. I cannot begin to imagine the appraisal on this Chiluly work of art?!

"Stuff" will be exhibited, and the sheeple will slobber all over it, no doubt dropping a few bucks in the donation box on the way out. It's a "cool" gimmick to get money for Clinton's shrine..

I've not seen Billy Dale's "COUNT THE SILVER" quote before, but I'd be willing to bet exactly 30 pieces were missing after Sick Willie and Sen. Crusty left.

That's a great quote!

I think the ol' Clinton Library will be coming into the news again in a month or two, so here's an old times' sake bump. I know what Denise Rich ogt out of this deal but what did Nelson Mandela?

I've had occasion to be in the West Wing twice in the last couple of months and the funniest thing is that on either side of the door to the Oval Office are the two pictures that the Clintons took with them (stole), the ones Alberto Gonzalez had to get back!

I recognized them immediately -- and we were sort of whispering about it and the Secret Service agent spilled the beans on everthing.

It was such a hoot; and I love that sense of humor? "You thought you could get away with taking them? Well, we'll just put them right here to remind everybody about it!"

The Clintons are a walking advertisement of how bottom feeders can make it to the top and eventually wallow back down to the filthy bottom again. What a story -- only in America.
