I guess they couldn’t get the “openly gay”, former NBA player since he was already busy with Barry’s Big State of the Union Show.
During the Clinton administration, the press went big time, touting the agreement that Clinton/Gore secured from the big three automakers. The agreement was to combine their efforts to build a super-efficient car. Still waiting . . . . . .
The only thing I would be interested in hearing from HRC is her immediate retirement & move to a deserted island far, far away. Anything else she has to say is not worth the breath used to form the words.
