Bill Clinton deserves universal contempt for who he pardoned and also the irregular process by which such outrageous pardons were slipped through at the midnight hour. HOWEVER, anyone like Geffen who was pushing for a pardon for Leonard Peltier (murderer of FBI agents) is not exactly worthy of respect........

They fell out in 2000, when Mr. Clinton gave a pardon to Marc Rich after rebuffing Mr. Geffen’s request for one for Leonard Peltier. “Marc Rich getting pardoned? An oil-profiteer expatriate who left the country rather than pay taxes or face justice?” Mr. Geffen says. “Yet another time when the Clintons were unwilling to stand for the things that they genuinely believe in. Everybody in politics lies, but they do it with such ease, it’s troubling.”

Indeed. What's interesting is that in these primaries where Hillary is going to dig up every morsel of dirt and slime Obama at every turn, there is no way that the Left can blame Republicans. The true Clinton attack machine will be exposed never before as it was when Bubba ran for office. Hillary was always behind all the smears and attacks.

My,my.

Mr. Geffen actually "thinks" that either Clinton actually ever stood for "genuinely believing in anything"?

So, Geffen wanted a pardon for a cop-killing thug?

here's how i see it-geffen sucks,but the clintons are more dangerous-geffen will never run for office-it's good when two of your enemies fight-it weakens them both-i think hillary will be a tattered rag smeared with filth by primary time-obama has no glaring negatives-but i don't think he's as electable as some people think-he lost a democratic primary to bobby rush in an overwhelmingly black district and won the senatorial election over alan keyes,an out of stater and a very strong uncompromising conservative-the election was like reaching home on ball four-obama is also very liberal which will come out as time goes by-his main value is damaging the hildebeast-he'll bring out the nasty bitch in her fast
