HOLLYWOOD -- He came, he spoke, he golfed.

Former President Bill Clinton on Wednesday (Jan. 29) became the latest celebrity to hit the Westin Diplomat Resort & Spa in Hollywood, speaking to a pharmaceutical company's employees before hitting the resort's championship golf club for a noon tee time.

On Jan. 25, 1993, President Clinton put his wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, in charge of a health care task force with a mandate to produce a plan for universal coverage in 100 days. She proceeded to vilify the pharmaceutical companies in her push for nationalized health care. Apparently, all is forgiven, and at least one drug company (unidentified) is willing to pay x42 his usual $100K+ speaking fee just to show up at its event. I sure hope it's not the company in which I own stock!

Thank goodness this hard-working public servant was able to get in some golf.

He looks more like Chappaquiddick Ted every day. It must be the dissipation factor.

This is the time honored practice of double dipping. Hillary made money when she proposed provisions she knew would cripple drug companies while her "blind trust" shorted drug company shares.

Why would anyone pay to hear the Pee Wee Herman of politics speak ?

[Taiwan Bocks]

Clinton must be pure as gold

because our president swore an oath to uphold the constitution,

which would include holding treasonous ex-presidents up to the standards of the law.

So we should lay off the ex-TRAITOR-in-chief,

or protest to the current president.

thanks for that reminder of Hillary's hypocrisy (as if we might forget!)

He came,

Not an ideal way to start off an article about Bubba.

I want to thank all the women who made this moment possible.

He came, he spoke, he golfed.

Not necessarily in that order.

[mountaineer]

Or is that "the anti-drug company"?

Howlin,

This guy has bigger breasts than most of the women in this country. And they aren't even perky. GOSH. Comments welcome. Implications welcome. Spectulation welcome.

More than likely, "He came, she choked, he guffawed."
