Former President Clinton...says he regrets the last-minute pardon he gave to fugitive financier Marc Rich...because it has tarnished his reputation.

Asked if he would do it again, "probably not, just for the politics," he said in an interview with Newsweek magazine. "It was terrible politics. It wasn't worth the damage to my reputation."...

A list of 177 pardons and clemencies was released by the Clinton White House just hours before Clinton left office and George W. Bush was sworn in on Jan. 20, 2001.

Since then, they have been investigated by federal prosecutors and Congress. That scrutiny, Clinton said, made him "just angry that after I worked so hard and after all that money had been spent proving that I never did anything wrong for money, that I'd get mugged one more time on the way out the door."...

Rich is the ex-husband of Denise Rich, a financial contributor to the Democratic Party and to Clinton's presidential library, [the postmodern rodham-clinton reputation-history-&-money-laundering machine currently under construction]

Clinton denied all wrongdoing in regard to the Rich pardon. "The fact that his ex-wife ... was for it and had contributed to my library had nothing to do with it,"... there wasn't a shred of evidence that it had been done for any improper motive," Clinton said...
"I don't know Marc Rich and wouldn't know him if he walked in the door there," Clinton said. But, he added, "I was very sensitive to prosecutorial abuse because I had seen it. ... I don't think that's all bad for a president to be sensitive to any kind of abuse of power."

On a lighter note, Clinton said he is getting a chocolate Labrador puppy, a descendent of his late dog, Buddy.
Buddy, a frisky retriever often seen at Clinton's side as he jogged, was killed in January by a car outside the former president's home in Chappaqua, N.Y.

Thank you Mia T. It is always great to see your work.

"--Lobbying for the Nobel Prize -- ." April 1. This is a joke -- . Right?

Clinton is now claiming to really miss Buddy. Poor 'Photo-Op Buddy'. I hear tell that both Buddy and Socks were not allowed to romp in the family quarters at the White House. It seems as though they were only dragged out when Clinton needed a mild bump in the polls, or as in during the Lewinsky fiasco, a ressurection.

Mia, Unfortunately, I need to ask you to take me off your bump list. When looking at my self search your posts load up each time. This takes too long. Don't worry, I won't miss your posts, but I don't have time to load them up several times a day.

Thanks, OK
