Betsey Wright, of Rogers, faces 51 felony charges stemming from her arrest May 22 at the state's Varner Unit. An Arkansas State Police report claims she attempted to smuggle in a box cutter, a pocket knife, tweezers and tattoo needles.

FTA, she’s claiming the items in question were in a Doritos bag she “found”. It’s the Doritos Defense. She had no idea that bag had 48 needles, a box cutter, knife, tweezers and a pen inside! No idea!

who worked more than a decade for Bill Clinton in Arkansas. She was Chief of Staff to Governor Clinton for seven years. In the 1990s, she was Senior Director of The Wexler Group, a government relations firm in Washington, DC. As Deputy Chair of the 1992 Clinton/Gore campaign, Wright established the rapid response system that was responsible for defending Clinton’s record in Arkansas and promptly answering all personal attacks on the candidate. She coined the term “bimbo eruptions” to describe the series of women claiming they had had affairs with Clinton.

In 1990, Wright was elected chair of the Democratic Party of Arkansas and was hired as its Executive Director.

Wright was Executive Director of the National Women’s Education Fund in Washington, DC. While there, she designed, organized and conducted training programs throughout the country for women candidates, campaign managers, and officeholders.

Maybe she’s restarting the prisoner blood sale business the crintons had going back in the day.

I figured one of the old-school folks would have already pinged A-G, and I was right. I was lurking back then.

I dunno... Those big food conglomerates are always coming out with funky products... Maybe they were “tattoo-needle-flavored” Doritos...

Talk about a bimbo erupting. One of William Jefferson Criminal’s cronies. Very interesting. Thanks for posting and thanks to every poster/linker/archivist/researcher.
