What a perfect chance for the stark difference to be shown between libs and pubs -
Pappa B. is not involved in any dirty shenanigans like this -

Has Bill Clinton ever made an honest dollar in his life?
Let me think. Hmmm, still thinking.......
"Lend his reputation",,buy this fund, get raped, right? No thanks.
I'm not altogether convinced that Jared Paul Stern was not set up. It shocks me to hear myself say that.

In 1986, he co-founded The Yucaipa Companies, a private investment firm. Thanks in part to Michael Milken's junk bonds, he was able to start buying supermarket chains such as Food 4 Less, Fred Meyer and Ralph's. He converted Ralph's into one of the most popular grocery stores in Southern California. In 1998, he sold his holdings to the Kroger Company, making billions in the deal. In 2000, according to The New York Times, he attempted to repay Mr. Milken for his early help by lobbying President Clinton to grant Mr. Milken a pardon. His efforts were unsuccessful.
