Bill's bills
U.S. News & World Report | With David Makovsky, Kevin Whitelaw, and Suzi Parker

Posted on 09/30/2001 6:50:47 PM PDT by Honcho

Remember Bill Clinton? You know the former president. Well that's just the problem: The drive to help terror victims has Clinton pals and Little Rock officials worried that Americans will stop donation to the ex-prez's library. That's a prob for Little Rock: They've invested $16 million and hope for returns by 2004.

I was flying on Friday and found this gem in U.S. News & World Report's "Washington Whispers" section and transcribed it here for your enjoyment. These people always amaze me with their selfishness.

That's why it's really important that the scholarship fund for victims that he and ol' Bob Dole raise don't get siphoned off to the liebary.

Honest investors in a Clinton development scheme might lose their shirts?
The only ones to benefit will be crooks using it as a way to launder pay off money?

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you!

Can anyone find a link to identify corporate donors to the Clinton Library?

It could be handy for those that want to consider doing business with them -- Like we did, for instance, with Tyson Chicken.

It may be a prob for Little Rock but it sure as hell isn't a prob for the rest of Arkansas (including ME) because I hope they NEVER build anything with Bubba's name on it. That would mean we would STILL be footing the bill for two of the world's biggest liars and frankly, I'M SICK OF IT!

I agree - I can't see why LR should have a problem with this - 1) when the library was promised to LR, Bubba was ambiguous about where he would choose to live; 2) The design of the building looks like a man with his trousers around his legs; 3) to build the monument to Clinton, a black historical site will have to be destroyed. LR should just say, "geez, what were we thinking? Why don't you build this monstrosity in Chapaqua or wherever it is you live?"

Clinton library opens its list
Foundation reveals names of top 150 donors for House pardon inquiry

By Deb Riechmann / Associated Press

WASHINGTON -- Congressional investigators hunting for evidence of a pardons-for-dollars scheme at the Clinton White House got their first look Wednesday at a list of 150 top donors to his presidential library project. They looked at the list for about 45 minutes, but lawyers for the House Government Reform Committee would not disclose information about the contributors, or say how many of the names would prompt further investigation. All 150 people and organizations on the list contributed more than $5,000.

The Clinton foundation also is supplying a list of donors in response to a subpoena issued as part of a criminal investigation into the pardon by U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White in New York.
Members of the committee saw the names of donors, but Friday will view the amounts and dates of various contributions, said Mark Corallo, committee spokesman.

Clinton library fund reports donations...

Items compiled from Tribune news services
Published August 23, 2001
LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS -- Donors gave $8.4 million last year to the foundation that is planning former President Bill Clinton's presidential library, according to documents released Wednesday.

The William J. Clinton Presidential Foundation had $13.8 million in assets at the end of 2000, compared to $5.9 million in 1999. The 2000 figures were listed on a form the organization submitted to the Internal Revenue Service. The figures do not include pledges, and the donors were not identified.
The foundation raised $3.1 million in 1999.

In other words, NO. The 'American People' aren't ALLOWED to know who gave to the CREEP and 'his wife'!

Because he STILL has some BUTT KISSERS in Little Rock who would do ANYTHING to keep him as a 'friend'. They know too much to cut their ties NOW. Besides who would have anything to do with them besides their usual CRIME INVESTED GROUP(aka CLINTON INNER CIRCLE)?

They have STOLEN money from the Zoo, the golf courses and anywhere else there was a dime that they could divert to their 'ELVIS' and 'EVITA'. GAG!!! (Evita hasn't been to Arkansas since she became a NEW YORK Senator). I don't think she likes us. LOL! What most people don't know is that she has ALWAYS hated Arkansas. It was her ONLY way to POWER hanging on to 'her husband's coattail. You know, the Feminist, Mrs. Bill Clinton, who kept STANDING BY HER MAN?! She's a JOKE!

BTW, I hope she bathes more in New York than she did in Arkansas. When people must tell you to take a bath it's pretty bad.

The Clinton library is never going to be built. The money will vanish. Contracts will be made, broken, re-negotiated...

There will be lawsuits and countersuits....

Ten years from now, the only reminded of it will be a faded and peeling billboard sign on a weed-choked and litter-strewn parcel of land announcing the coming of the Clinton Libarary -- 8 years ago.

They know too much about Clinton's dirty deeds (i.e. Mena/drug smuggling), or he knows too much about them (and can blackmail them)?!

"Make the checks payable to Bubba."
