Wasn't this guy, was it?

Vinod Sekhar, chief executive of the Petra Group, a rubber technology company, invited former President Bill Clinton to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on Friday.

Former President Bill Clinton visited Malaysia on Friday to deliver his first paid speech since his wife, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, was selected Monday by President-elect Barack Obama to be secretary of state.

There are plenty of ‘off the wall’ people in that group Fugees. A few years back, I recall reading that Aswad Ayinde, the director of the Fugees award winning “Killing Me Softly” music video was convicted of sexual assault.

**Nigerian born Aswad Ayinde was sentenced to 90 (Ninety!!) years in prison in 2013 after being found guilty of multiple charges related to the sexual abuse of his four daughters.
The abuse spanned decades, during which he fathered six children with his daughters in an attempt to create a “pure family bloodline’.

Maybe he can “rap” on others and get a reduced sentence.

Politicians say thank you for showing us how you did it so we can do it better.

This has to be the Bee — this sort of thing NEVER HAPPENS.

That’s what the Dems have said for YEARS AND YEARS.

Clearly, this is just a joke post....

Obama’s brother in Kenya would have been a vast improvement over the interloper Barry.

"...attempt to create a “pure family bloodline’."

Why not? It worked for the Habsburgs.

Or so the Habsburgs would have told you.
The first time I saw a pic of film director
Quentin Tarrantino, I wondered if he was distantly related to that Austrian or Spanish bloodline.
Turns out, he’s just kinda homely.

Don’t worry, I’m sure Obie will come racing to the rescue. Loyalty is, after all, a signal characteristic of the Democrat party. Oh, wait, I see I misspelled “treachery”.

Maybe he can start a men’s choir at the Federal prison he ends up in.

In April 2023, a federal jury convicted Michel of 10 counts

And it took 30 MONTHS until sentencing?
