Houston Chronicle ^ | 05/21/2006 | MATTHEW BARAKAT

[Steve Van Doorn]

"Clinton had a lot of faults but taking money and bribes was not one of them."

yeah it was al Gore that took the money from the Chinese for Clintons campaign wasn't it?

How did Ms Clinton make money in her 'commodities investments' again?

[Steve Van Doorn]

Evidence?

What was that guys name that was working for the Iranian government when Clinton took campaign contributions for plans to make nuclear weapons?

[kenth]

Now, now. You know that commodities investment was pure genius. She's the smartest woman in the world. Besides, we all know that Hillary is interested in women, not money.

[NapkinUser]

This democrat culture of corruption is out of control.

[Just A Nobody]

McKinney tried to play it.

TRIED??? Did I miss her arrest?

[slowhand520]

Alan Mollohan and now William Jefferson are making things difficult for their ironic "culture of corruption" mantra

[plain talk]

Gore didn't take money for personal gain. He took Chinese money for a campaign. We're not talking about Hillary. Name a case where Bill Clinton took personal bribes for personal gain. I don't recall one.

[Steve Van Doorn]

"He was interested in women not money."

Clinton is interested in power. That was evident when he sold blood from prisoners that he knew had HIV and hepatitis tainted blood then sold it to the Canadian government, which in turn sold it back to the US killing hundreds if not thousands of people.

[plain talk]

Name a case where Bill Clinton took bribes for personal gain to put in his own pocket. He did all kinds of political shenanigans but not what Jefferson did.

[Steve Van Doorn]

"Name a case where Bill Clinton took personal bribes for personal gain."

if taking illegal money for the most powerful job in the world isn't for personal gain then i don't understand what personal gain is.

[plain talk]

He did all kinds of bad things but he didn't take bribes and feather his pockets with money. That's not what Clinton was interested in. That is evident in numerous books written about him. He carries no money and could care less about personal money. He likes power, women and listening to himself talk.

[Zman516]

Clinton had a lot of faults but taking money and bribes was not one of them. He was interested in women not money.

How about that last minute "going out of business" sale on pardons-to-the-highest-bidder? Remember Marc Rich, et. al.?

[plain talk]

You're probably talking about political contributions. That's not what I'm talking about.

Name one case where he took bribes for personal gain (taking money for himself).

[Stentor]

A congressman under investigation for bribery was caught on videotape accepting $100,000 in $100 bills from an FBI informant whose conversations with the lawmaker also were recorded, according to a court document released Sunday. Agents later found the cash hidden in his freezer.

John Murtha didn't take any money on camera.

[MozarkDawg]

Name a case where Bill Clinton took personal bribes for personal gain. I don't recall one.

Because everything was done either under-the-table or third-party, ie. MacDougall and the WW fiasco. He has been shown to say things like, "My name can't be on this" and such in order that *you* would not recall personal bribes for personal gain.

[Steve Van Doorn]

Then I agree. Clinton cares little about money in his pocket.
He womanizes in my opinion because he likes the power over women. He takes illegal money for power over people.
He doesn't take it for a new house and such.. That doesn't interest him.

[oldbrowser]

Why do you think politicians spend millions of dollars to get elected to a job that pays only a fraction of that in salary ?

In order to discourage crooked politicians the penalty has got to be super-sized.

I suggest they be stripped of citizenship forever and deported.

[pepperdog]

Louisiana and New Orleans really do have a lot of problems don't they? Well everything will soon be okay, Nagin is on the job.

[JustaDumbBlonde]

It must have been some other money he was trying to rescue in the aftermath of Katrina. This article states that this money was recovered August 3, 2005 from his home in Washington. Katrina hit on August 29.

[No Surrender No Retreat]

Evening FWF,
I believe congressman jefferson was set up by the FBI, just like marion berry.

How do I know? I learned this intell while aboard "Mothership #19."

The NOLA "ERC" (Emergency Race Card) will be handily played in this prima facie case.

If I am not mistaken, jefferson belongs to the "HABOP"
(Help A Brother Out Program)
