This guy gets around on Memorial Day..E. Timor to Thailand, to Brunei and back to New Zealand

[concerned about politics]

Why? He's a nobody now. Just an American traitor.
I know Bush sent him off to nowhere land to get rid of him, so I can see paying for that, but as a sight seeing tour I feel Clinton has stole from the American people again.
What a leech, just like the base that voted for him.
He sould get a real job, along with the base that voted for him!

ping, has the link been pulled?

[Howlin]

Hmmmmmmm......linky no worky. What makes you think WE paid for that. I can almost guarantee you that WE paid for the trip to East Timor and nothing else. I'm sure his fat cat friends provided the private jets after that.

[Howlin]

Oh, I see......I misread the title.....sorry!

[palo verde]

I can't get the link to work
which government paid for it?
if it's our government, it stinks

[AGreatPer]

1. Your link says no longer available. Wonder what it is with that?

2. It is quite common where X-presidents get the courtesy of going around the world at our expense. I know, I know, I don't like it either.

[codebreaker]

It's still there, go to http://www.stuff.co.nz/ and then hit 'National news' and page down to the middle..

[codebreaker]

Perhaps the article is getting so many hits they have switched it, but it is still on the website.

[Mind-numbed Robot]

The BMW group should have checked with the Chinese group before paying Slick $500K. The Chinese felt ripped off after a rambling off-topic speech.

[codebreaker]

I think it is the New Zealanders paying for him on the ground and I have no idea where the airfare is coming from-possibly The private jet of the Sultan of Brunei..which is the country that he came from.

[codebreaker]

And the $500k New Zealand is only half that in American money!

[palo verde]

thanks codebreaker
I am relieved
if other countries are stupid enuf to shell out big bucks for him, that's their look out
I don't want our tax money enriching him
he is the greatest criminal and traitor our Republic ever had
it takes all my patience and widest angle vision not to be upset that he's not in prison

[reg45]

I have no problem with tax money being used to fly X42 to New Zealand. What I object to is that tax money may be used to bring the b*st*rd back here.

[Dust in the Wind]

Senior Sergeant Darroch Todd said police were working closely with the US Secret Service on Mr Clinton's security.
"He is not here as the guest of the Government. He is here as a private individual, but the Government is treating him with all the courtesies you would expect in the circumstances.
"He is being treated in a manner befitting the former head of the United States."
