-- They fell out in 2000, when Mr. Clinton gave a pardon to Marc Rich after rebuffing Mr. Geffens request for one for Leonard Peltier. Marc Rich getting pardoned? An oil-profiteer expatriate who left the country rather than pay taxes or face justice? Mr. Geffen says. Yet another time when the Clintons were unwilling to stand for the things that they genuinely believe in. Everybody in politics lies, but they do it with such ease, its troubling. This ending blurb is just RIPE with good stuff. The pardon of Marc Rich and Pincus Green was so telling -- and it is one of the things that should give Rudy a wonderful counterpoint if he gets the nod to oppose Hillary. It was Rudy who was the prosecutor pursuing Marc Rich only to see Bubba give him a last minute pardon ("he had been punished enough"). This will bring back all of Bill and Hill's last minute shennigans and pay-offs for political donations, etc.
Nice to see David Geffen being honest enough to make these statements despite knowing how the Clintonoids would come back at him. I wonder how the Hollyweird celebs will react to Clinton's camp going after one of their favorite sons.

David Geffen has REAL power in this country. He ain't scared of no Clintons. "Politics is just Hollywood for ugly people."

Marc Rich getting pardoned? ... Mr. Geffen says. Yet another time when the Clintons were unwilling to stand for the things that they genuinely believe in.Mr. Geffen is just a leetle slow on the uptake. He is just now noticing how easily the Clinton's lie??? But he still hasn't figgered out that Marc Rich's pardon IS an indication of what they really believe in. POWER! Their power.
