Bill Clinton Reportedly Smashed a Mirror After Hearing Qatar Won the 2022 World Cup Bid
New York Magazine ^ | Marissa Payne

If the “well-placed” source found by The Sydney Morning Herald is to be believed, it seems former President Bill Clinton went into Hulk mode on a Swiss hotel mirror after hearing Qatar was awarded the 2022 World Cup. The Morning Herald reports :

“Bill Clinton looked anything but happy as he strode into the Savoy Baur en Ville hotel in Zurich in December 2010. The receptionists could tell he was irritated, but had no idea just how angry he was.

After closing the door to his suite, he reached for an ornament on a table and threw it at a wall mirror in a fit of rage, shattering the glass. … ‘Clinton was fuming,’ said one well-placed source. ‘He felt humiliated and felt the decision did not make sense.’ “

According to one of the Brit papers there were five million reasons the decision made sense.

Only five million? Chump change to that part of the world...

Maybe the Oracle that he made his bargain with told him his time would be up when “football was played in guitar” and he found out he misunderstood.

Ole BJ headed up the Amurrican squad pitching for the World Cup bid for 2022.

Since we lost, it’s likely the Clinton Crime Family will miss out on a lot of gravy that would have flowed from the deals.

Who would want to host the World Cup of Futbol?

The thing is so boring it drives the drunken fans into a delirious raging riot.

He can afford to pay for a new mirror.

He won't have to. Either the hotel won't have the balls to charge for it or someone else will pick up the bill. That's the way it is with the elite.

Ah... while his wife is POTUS.... got it.”

But that is only part of the reason. Both Billy and BO are Leo’s. They just don’t think anyone should say no to them over anything. Leo’s also have a very, very dark side to them. Billy was just more sneaky with his - BO is just a bigger narcissist.

I’d think Hillary will make BJ her Secretary of State.
That way he can be on the road all the time.

The US may wind up getting it, now.

That would involved FIFA admitting it made a mistake, which it did. And that will never happen. It's more likely FIFA will change the world football calendar by moving the World Cup to 'winter' months. 125 degrees is bad weather to play in.

He just adding 7 more years to his bad luck which equates to 7 more years chained to Mrs. Clinton.
