Albert Witte, who taught six decades at the University of Arkansas School of Law and helped hire then-26-year-old Bill Clinton, has died at the age of 92.

Witte, who also previously served as president of the NCAA, died Wednesday of natural causes, the university said. [...]

"Al Witte was a wise counselor to Hillary and me when we were young faculty members at the law school," Clinton said in a statement released Wednesday night. "For more than 40 years, he never stopped the friendship or the shrewd -- and often hilarious -- observations and advice. He was a real gift to decades of law students and one of the university's greatest assets. I wish he could have lived 90 more years." ...

Just further proof to the converse of “the good die young!”

I don’t think this one qualifies for “the list” though.

But what did he go to the grave saying? Or not saying?

At least he died of natural causes, not like some of the Clinton’s so called “friends”.

At least it wasn’t suicide by one or two shotgun blasts to the head, before dragging his own dead body to a railroad track.

Let’s put this one down as a leaner on the ARKANCIDE list.

If he was truly a friend of the Clintons, I suspect he has JFK’s madame in a very warm place for eternity.

Witte will be given a stern lesson in “Judgment of Character,” by God, who will judge all.
Just imagine, if you will, if this one man had seen how evil the duo, Bill and Hill, were in UA’s Law school, he could have prevented them from progressing to the National Stage and the stained blue dress he left his INTERN with to clean!

That stain would have ended 99% of careers in America's military and civilian, public or private workplace.
