Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's brother Anthony D. Rodham has been barred from accessing his bank account while a bankruptcy trustee demands that he repay more than $100,000 in loans from a carnival company whose founder was pardoned by President Clinton, filings in federal bankruptcy court in Alexandria show.

Mr. Rodham, one of Mrs. Clinton's two brothers, received $107,000 in loans from United Shows of America Inc. after its owners obtained the presidential pardon over the objections of the Justice Department.

United Shows went bankrupt in 2002, and control of its finances was placed in the hands of court-appointed trustee Michael E. Collins, who has sought to garnish Mr. Rodham's wages.

A consent order filed Tuesday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia said Mr. Rodham is barred from taking money out of a bank account containing about $142,000, pending a hearing next month.

Last year, Mr. Collins won a default judgment against Mr. Rodham in a complaint filed in bankruptcy court in Nashville, Tenn. The trustee sought repayment of the loans, plus more than $40,000 in interest.

Comforting to know Hitlery's not the only crook in the family...

Two families of grifters in a marriage made in hell.

Don't get excited. This is going into the same bottomless pit that holds the Barrett Report. You DO remember THAT, don't you?

Hey, who knows? Maybe Tony Rod can hook up with Rog Clinton and open a Hoover franchise.

After all, wasn't it young Roger Clinton who described his older brother as -- word for word -- ''having a nose like a Hoover''?

Why does it not surprise me that Hillary's bro was borrowing $100 K from a carnival company.

[msnimje]

Doesn't Hillary have like a gozillion dollars? Surely she can help her brother out here. Has she no heart?

[SAJ]

Actually, it **is** surprising. One would ordinarily presume that a scumbag such as Roddieboy would have simply stolen the funds, never mind asking for a loan.

[headstamp]

What a crew of slimebags. The pressholes will be very interested in this.....NOT.

[1-Eagle]

Oh, boy! Hillary must be having fits!

[SAJ]

Your question is rhetorical, I assume?

[GretchenM]

Well, slap me upside the head, you are RIGHT.

[canuck_conservative]

Well this money problem should be solved fairly quickly, as soon as Hillary shows her brother how easy it is to make $100K in cattle futures in just a few days.

"I just happen to be the brother-in-law of a person who became president," he said. "I'm not a public figure."

In other words, "this is so unfair - Hillary got $100K in cattle futures and didn't have to pay back a dime, Kofi Annan's son got a Mercedes that he still drives, and yet they're going to try to force me to pay back that loan. I mean, the guy got pardoned, didn't he? Anyway, this was supposed to be my slice of the pie - I earned it fair and square. I don't see them asking Bill to fork over his share. Some people get all the breaks."

The ash trays are flying fast and furious as we speak........

[SAJ]

Notwithstanding your figure of speech, I should never even think of doing such a thing.

Somehow or another, though, and I can't describe the process -- scumbags and scumbagettes seem to have acquired a free hand at looting the taxpayer.

Tony D seems to just be another one on the list. Too bad they've cancelled ''The Sopranos'' -- he might have been able to earn an honest living as an actor.

Hitlery, of course, has no chance whatever of earning an honest living. Nor has even bothered to try to persuade anyone that she it does.

Hillary's a carnie?

Don't get excited. This is going into the same bottomless pit that holds the Barrett Report.

Instead of a bottomless pit, I think of it as a sewage line that gets clogged up occasionally when the scandals pile up too fast. The Clinton goons must be investigated in perpetuity.

Isn't Tony the one that used to be married to Babs Boxer's daughter?

A lawsuit filed against Hillary Rodham Clinton and other defendants in 1996 details alleged hidden Cayman Island bank accounts controlled by Hillary Clinton under the name "Chelsea Jefferson". Text of the complaint is here.

"a bankruptcy trustee demands that he repay more than $100,000 in loans from a carnival company whose founder was pardoned by President Clinton,"


What is a "carnival company"? Is that like a Freakshow?
