NEW YORK - Janeane Garofalo (news) was the host — and Bill Clinton was the guest of honor — at a fund-raiser for Seeds of Peace, a New York-based organization that's brought thousands of young people from 22 warring lands to a Maine camp to learn peace-brokering.
Garofalo described Clinton's arrival at a private VIP reception at the Hammerstein Ballroom Tuesday night "like The Beatles deplaning — it was hysteria."
About 1,300 guests paid $175 to $500 each also to hear the Barenaked Ladies (news - web sites), a pop band that received MTV's first Seeds of Peace award.
"We can never find redemption in another person's destruction," the former president told his audience.
"No one ever gets even," said Clinton, noting that "people in power will have to embrace the common wisdom of Seeds of Peace. This is not useless idealism."
As part of the evening's celebrity auction, Clinton offered to have lunch and an 18-hole golf game with the highest bidder — who paid $22,000 for the honor. Officials did not release the winner's name.

Oh yeah, tell that to the innocent people you killed in Yugoslavia.

I suppose he does know what "seeds of peace" look like when they are smeared all over a dress.
Pretty cute statement coming from a guy who bombed a country that was no threat to us and wasn't known to export terrorism here... said "Put some ice on it," after raping a woman... sicks Union thugs on people excercising their first ammendment rights...steals FBI files to use as blackmail... sicks the IRS on people who dislike him... pardons terrorists... terrifies a bit of flesh so much that she fears for her life and keeps adress as evidence...and has a pack of people handy to drop in on widows and so forth to make sure they know their cat died for a reason. (Amid other activities.)
