Bill Clinton's chief of staff when he was governor of Arkansas is expected to turn herself in after authorities issued a bench warrant for her arrest for allegedly smuggling contraband into a state prison, her attorney told CNN Wednesday.

Betsey Wright served Clinton as chief of staff for 7 years in Arkansas and ran 3 successful campaigns for governor.

Betsey Wright allegedly smuggled a red Doritos bag containing 48 tattoo needles, a pen with tweezers and a needle inside, a Swiss Army knife and a box cutter into the Varner Unit, a high-security state prison in Grady, Arkansas, according to the bench warrant.

Wright served Clinton as chief of staff for seven years in Arkansas and ran his successful campaigns for governor in 1982, 1984 and 1986.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Betsey Wright?! ROTFLMAO!!! Now this is hilarious!

[HiTech RedNeck]

Why, I always keep this kind of stuff with me in a red Doritos bag.

[Seaplaner]

She may be in serious trouble here.

Don't Doritos contain trans-fat?

Betsy “nutz or slutz” Wright? THE bimbo eruption unit shut down babe? Tell me it is true!

[joejm65]

Wouldn’t it be something if she narced on Billy C for something he did as Governor in exchange for a reduced sentence? I’m ready for a good Clinton scandal right about now...

Will Clinton fly in for the prison rescue?

[happinesswithoutpeace]

The “defense” will be she was trying to cut down on infectious diseases. 0_O

[Porterville]

What? She must be nutz.

[raptor29]

Same one who assisted Hillary with the stolen FBI files, if I remember correctly. What a group of low-lifes, these people.

[Terry Mross]

The Clintons and all their cronies are sweating because they’re not in charge anymore and I have a feeling the ones in charge don’t care much for them. And we KNOW the media has turned on them.

I have to wonder if this was done to get her to talk. Obama will not feel safe until the Clintons are gone.

She claims she found the bag, lol.

"We have no choice but to seek vindication in court."

Well of course, these are just simple rehabilitation and learning tools for inmates in high-security prison.

I wanna see a pic this attorney, Jeff Rosenzweig.

She will turn herself in next week, Jeff Rosenzweig, Wright's attorney, said.

Next week? I hope she isn't inconvenienced or has to cut short a vacation.

[xrmusn]

..claims she found the bag...etc....
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
That’s why they found it during a full cavity search

[dragnet2]

Police said Wright, passionate defender of capital crime prisoners, claimed she found the bag of chips lying at the bottom of a vending machine.

Oh yeah!

[happinesswithoutpeace]

the horror...the horror

And here are the court papers:

[kcvl]

What do we expect from someone who worked for the Clintons?!

[kcvl]

She should know! I’m sure she was one of the ‘nutz & slutz’. Clinton didn’t keep her around for her brains that’s for sure.

[dragnet2]

Prosecutors allege that while Wright was on a visit to a prison in Grady, Ark. in May, guards X-raying her belongings found a bag of Nacho Cheese Doritos containing approximately 48 tattoo needles, a needle and tweezers hidden in a pen, a box-cutter and a Swiss Army knife. She allegedly said she'd found the bag of chips with the special surprises inside in a vending machine at the prison.

The cracker jack defense!

[upsdriver]

If I remember correctly, she was also in charge of “bimbo eruptions”.

[dragnet2]

I read it. This nut cake tells prison officials, “I thought I was getting a free bag of chips.”

What a knee slapper...

[DesScorp]

Ah, the values of the Clinton crowd.

[Spaulding]

I recall that her former boss was in prison, for drug trafficking. The boss had employed Bill's drug-dealing half brother, who did inhale. Betsy ran the bond trading company while boss was in prison, and probably handled the drug dealing as well until she was recruited to run the house for Bill. Bill pardoned the boss. So who was she going to visit? Is her attorney from the Rose Law firm?

[Defiant]

Weren't there rumors about her and Hilary?

This is amazing.

[Daffynition]

Betsey "Bimbo Eruptions" Wright? .... this story is to laugh! If she was the mule ...they shoulda sent in a real pro......

[Slings and Arrows]

Yep, her.

You can take the hillbilly away from the crystal meth, but...

[dixiechick2000]

Omigosh!

I thought she was dead!

At least she was to me. ;o)

[Jeff Chandler]

She’ll walk.

[Kickass Conservative]

Was she wearing a Blue Dress from the Gap at the time?

[Kickass Conservative]

If it was in a pack of Twinkies, she would get off in California.

[crazyotto]

One of billy clintoons WHORES

[csvset]

She'll have the best stories on the whole cellblock.

I imagine she has all kinds of dirt on Bill & Hill.

[TheOldLady]

Schadenfreude becomes you.

[Slings and Arrows]

Nothing better than a fresh grave and a pair of dancing shoes.

[Darksheare]

“trying to sneak items into death row inmates.”

Now that’s sneaky, bringing in items inside inmates.
Or was that trying to put the items into them without being noticed..?
Sounds painful.
(Poorly written opening lines, fodder for bad jokes.)

Clintonoids have real issues with sneaking stuff into, or out of, restricted areas.

What do you expect from...

...a mule.

[TheOldLady]

And a tuxedo, I hope!

[dragnet2]

She’ll walk.

Well, the people of Arkansas did elected her boss.

[bmwcyle]

No you are thinking of Maggie Williams who took files home and told the Senate Hearing that she had to go and do laundry. This is why she had Vince Foster's files in her car at home.

[Danae]

zOMG...

LOL Tell me this is off of Onion right??

ROFL

Whats the frequency Betsy?
lol

[Danae]

LMAO... “Why, this bag of chips weighs about a pound! What a bonus! Oh it rattles too! SWEET!” lol

[raptor29]

Yep, you’re right. But regardless, I’m sure that Betsey partipated in her share of shananigans during that Administration. You couldn’t work for those crooks without being one yourself.

[Titan Magroyne]

On initial read, I swear this is how the last sentence of the article began for me: "Wright serviced Clinton as chief of staff for seven years in Arkansas and..."

Come to think of it, that's probably every bit as accurate as was published.

[a fool in paradise]

FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS!

This is about the right to freedom of expression and free speech and a woman’s right to do what she wants with her body and...
