paid Mr. Clinton more than $2 million for consulting services

Uh huh, I wonder what they got for their $2 mil. Probably a drunken ex-president telling them how to pick up chicks on diplomatic trips abroad, and how to threaten them if they get cold feet.

This is the kind of stuff that makes guys like Randy Cunningham resign in disgrace and do jail time (as it should be). The FEC that is packed with registered DemonRats will give the Klintons a pat on the butt and ask them what's happenin' on the homefront.

Oh, so this is what washed-up ex-actresses do: go slumming around DemonRat campaign events and cocktail parties to feel important.

The company, infoUSA, one of the nation’s largest brokers of information on consumers...

I suppose the FBI dossiers weren't enough.

Interesting re the danmage control. I saw Hardball yesterday, just by chance, beleieve me. Mathews was really hitting this story, and referring to the New York Times article, “why are established writers and the NYT reporting this now, will it affect her campaign”, etc. I’m sure they’re thinking, get this over with now. But when the books come out it will be interesting to see.

When Mathews keptasking Hillarys PR guy if this would affect voters, he just kept saying, people are not interested in what happened 20 yrs ago, it’s old news.

Classic Clinton damage control. Chris Matthews is in love with BJC, and dreams of having him back in the White House. Hillary is just an unavoidable necessity to getting Bill back ‘where he was so wonderful.’

By the way, do either of you know the origins of “smartest woman in the world”? That came up locally, and I didn’t have
a good answer.

She was once on a top 100 list of lawyers. I think our side might have invented “smartest woman in the world” to mock her.

What’s funny, is I can almost hear Bill Clinton saying it, maybe during a campaign speech, but I can also imagine it being something Rush might have come up with.

I just posted a link to your vid, in a place where some Lefties will see it. I wonder if any will watch. I’ll be curious to see the responses, if any.

Twenty years ago, my a**, Mr. Mathews (see excerpt below) The $2 million was funneled to Bill Clinton, the husband of a Democrat front runner for candidacy of President during a 4 year time period from 2002 – 2006. Another question, Mr. Mathews, has Senator Clinton disclosed the in-kind contribution of air travel provided for her campaign events?

When former President Bill Clinton and Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton took a family vacation in January 2002 to Acapulco, Mexico, one of their longtime supporters, Vinod Gupta, provided his company’s private jet to fly them there.

During the next four years, infoUSA paid Mr. Clinton more than $2 million for consulting services, and spent almost $900,000 to fly him around the world for his presidential foundation work and to fly Mrs. Clinton to campaign events.

today’s NYC deadtree edition has the story bottomRight front page{2”X6”} , ..
right next to 2 color photos , one of palestinians running as an alleged Israeli Army missile plunges downward ,.. the other , pali boy close to the blast

. . the Clintons’ story ( Bubba & Sir Edmund ) covers more than the entire upper fold on the A section’s back page (sorta unusual)

I’m not gonna try to read any tea leaves on this one ,.. there are 3 other short things on the back page ,. .

Clinton and Obama Face G.O.P. Attacks for War Vote ,..

Ex-Senator Faults ‘86 Law On Immigrants (Fred) ,..

As a former employee of Mr. Gupta’s at InfoUSA, I find this news both extremely satisfying and disgusting at the same time.

The hypocrisy of the left knows no bounds and this case just illustrates the only thing that’s important to them-POWER. The Libs crown themselves as defenders of the little guy all the time. Yet here we see Gupta lavishly shuttling the Clintons around the country for political gain, while his own employees are barely above minimum wage, treated like pieces of meat and offered a benefits package that is so expensive, most can’t even afford it. I’m sure Mr. Gupta, being the fine upstanding Democrat he is, barely flinched when my department was “eliminated” last year, leaving me out of work for almost a year. When I think about the millions he’s given (probably illegally) to a couple of corrupt pigs like the Clintons, that could have been used to save my department, give employees a raise and help us afford benefits, it makes me as angry as I’ve ever been. The company always acted as if they were scraping the bottom of the barrell-after a year of being employed there I was offered a meager $500 yearly raise. I am going to contact all my local news outlets around the Omaha area and tell them my story and let them know the real Vin Gupta. A shameful, despicable HYPOCRITE of the left.

Thanks, interesting that it is from the NYT.

Perhaps they find Obama more to their liking and want to tear Hillary down a notch? Just speculating.

I think there are just enough voters not enchanted by them that even if they're not rabid Republicans, they just don't feel the need to revisit that particular "co-presidency" again.

Absolutely correct. The most liberal couple I know are disgusted with the Xlintons and would never vote for Hillary.

Somewhere on FR there are threads about Xlinton's big trip to India while in office, with an entourage of US business leaders in tow. On that trip, Enron proposed building the largest power plant in India. India was forced to buy in under threat of loss of aid money. So, with US taxpayer dollars, India paid Enron hundreds of millions to build this huge power plant that no one ever used. The president of Enron India was an attractive American woman who soon after retired with a $79 million payout.

And just wait until the Chinese connections start unravelling, if you think the India connections are rotten.

Lots of stuff like this we can dig up when Hillary is nominated by the idiot Rats.

Sorry about your job. Hope you can get yourself heard by the media.

Revenge is a dish best served cold. I hope you enjoy cooling off a lot this coming hot, hot summer.

That was last year. I got hired by a new company recently and doubled my salary from where I was before!
