Clintons Return White House Furniture
W A S H I N G T O N, Feb. 8, 2002
Former President Clinton and his wife, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, have sent $28,000 worth of household goods back to Washington after questions arose over whether the items were intended as personal gifts or donations to the White House.
“We have been informed that it is being shipped back, and the National Park Service is ready to receive it, take possession of it and take custody of it,” Jim McDaniel, the National Park Service’s liaison to the White House, said Wednesday.
“The property is being returned to government custody until such time that the issues can be resolved. It may well turn out that that property is rightly the personal property of the Clintons.”
Giving Back
After they were criticized for taking $190,000 worth of china, flatware, rugs, televisions, sofas and other gifts with them when they left, the Clintons announced last week that they would pay for $86,000 worth of gifts, or nearly half the amount.
Their latest decision to send back $28,000 in gifts brings to $114,000 the value of items the Clintons have either decided to pay for or return.

That’s what I was looking for...
Couple of mooching grifters. He’s got the self-righteous sense of entitlement, she does the martyrdom schtick. A political Bonnie and Clyde. Probably sit around comparing whose approach works better on any given day: “how dare you!” vs. “you have no idea what I’ve been through..”. God help us. It’s going to be the Jerry Springer Show all over again.
Now where’s that story about those two deducting used underwear donations to charity?
