Puff piece from The Economist...

The brand of Clinton

...but there's one useful little nugget in the second paragraph from the bottom.

...One controversial aspect of the CGI is that many of the pledges—according to the foundation there have been nearly 600 so far, worth almost $10 billion—are to do things that boost the profits of the companies concerned, such as Wal-Mart.

A 10 billion dollar slush fund. Accountable to no-one but the Toons. Lovely.

Laws merely reflect a national understanding of morality. If the leaders are immoral it makes no difference what the laws are.

I can attach some of these thoughts to a few members of TSCOUS!

Clinton is a terrorist best friend, he let Saddam fire at our pilots in the no fly zone for 8 years, and now his wife would lift ever Bush executive order to enable more terrorism. Thank Bush the terrorist are beaten down in Iraq, now their not so popular anywhere else.

You can do a lot of good with this much money. You can do a lot of bad, too. What I don’t get is how they can keep donors a secret. I thought that federal law mandated that charities have to make available to the public the ID’s of donors over a certain amount. How do the Toons get a pass on this?

I'm no lawyer or accountant. Is there a difference between the library and the foundation, fiscally speaking? Are they different charities? Rolled into the same charity.

How in perdition can the Toons be in control of billions of bucks/pledges and no-one want to know where the money's coming from and how it's being spent?!

Here's an '05 link that creates a few more questions...

Clinton Foundation Found At Fault

Two interesting snippets...

The Clinton Foundation’s latest report, released on September 23, showed the organization took in $57.7 million in donations last year, and borrowed nearly $38.5 million to cover expenses related to the library.

And...

Last year’s borrowings included an unsecured, low-interest $10 million loan from Titanium Acquisition Corporation, a firm connected to entertainment industry executive Haim Saban, a close friend of Clinton.

Okaaaaay....
