CLINTON: ``On the other hand, if they do personally owe money for Energy Department penalties, unpaid taxes or civil fines, they can now be sued civilly .... a result that might not have been possible without the waiver, because civil statutes of limitations may have run out while they were out of the United States.''

Balderdash. Rich was never sued.

Just add this to the Oil for Food Scandal shopping list.

Maybe Billy'll write an op-ed on how great it was to sell out the WH for personal gain?

[Liz]

Maybe Denise laid down for her country?


.....oh wait, I forgot something......

[Liz]

We need the pic of Clinton in a prison jumpsuit over here.

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

I guess it's CYA time at the Clinton's.

So, what else is new?

[Liz]

That Clintoon was swamped with clemency petitions from friends says it all...so many crooks, so little time to pardon them all.

Takes one to know one, eh?

He and his evil wife should be behind bars instead of writing op eds for the NYSlimes.

Spin is the name of their evil game.

[Liz]

The MSM falls on its knees to kiss his butt.

[sauropod]

President Squirt. The gift that keeps on giving.

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

That's putting it mildly.

I think that Lawrence O'Donell, that under-medicated twerp, would voluntarily substitute to fill in for Monica Lewinsky, if the need arose.

[Liz]

Love it.

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

HA!

Awesome.

[Route101]

Yeah Bill...You're a joke a minute.......By the way....when is that double wide traler park trash library of yours going to shoot across the river???

[ken5050]

The gift that keeps on giving.....this could end Hillary's national aspirations...

[Liz]

MARC RICH EXHIBIT AT THE CLINTON LIBRARY.

[Mike Bates]

Sure, I believe Klintoon.

Michael M. Bates: My Side of the Swamp

[Liz]

Clinton's Bridge to Perdition.

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Heh, heh.

What's truly amazing is that they spend more time in that museum discussing Marshall Applewhite and the Heaven's Gate cult, than the do explaining what exactly Monica Lewinsky was supposed to be doing in the Oval Office.

[Liz]

Man, that face of hers makes you want to vomit.

Then you get a load of the cleavage (gag).

[Jhensy]

No mention of the Oil for Food scandal in the piece?

[Mike Bates]

Face? She's got a face?

[yoe]

``I believe my pardon decision was in the best interests of justice...."

Just whose justice William...yours, Reno and Rich?

"...he regretted Holder did not have more time to review the case..." ----but other lawyers did?
"...high-ranking Israeli officials of both major political parties and leaders of Jewish communities in America and Europe urged the pardon of Mr. Rich because of his contributions and services to Israeli charitable causes..."
Typical Clinton - give someone else a black eye....
