CLINTON'S GOT A JOB: Friend Hires Clinton to Be Investment Fund Adviser

NY TIMES ^ | 4/11/02 | LAURA M. HOLSON

[1Old Pro]

The two funds started by Yucaipa first got their start last year when the California Public Employees' Retirement System, one of the nation's largest and most influential pension plans, approved a $475 million initiative to invest in blighted urban and rural communities throughout the state.

People worry about Social Security in the Stock Market.

I worry about the extremely political nature of public emplyee pension plans. They invest to make social statements and reward Demoracts. They don't always invest with the best interests of the unions workers in mind.

Example, they threaten tobacco companies and they sell their stocks even as many tobacco stocks soar.

[1Old Pro]

Yeah, that's what I'm going to do: invest my life savings in a mutual fund endorsed by Bill Clinton

The only people who have to worry are public employees in states where the comptroller is a Democrat

[1Old Pro]

Who is this LA "friend" and what are his connections? If he's a big donor, to whom? How is this gig to Klintoon's advantage, etc.

Simple, Klintoo gets paid tens of millions to talk Democrat state comptrollers to invest hundreds of millions in these funds.

People worry about Social Security in the Stock Market. I worry about the extremely political nature of public emplyee pension plans..... (who) invest to make social statements and reward Democrats. They don't always invest with the best interests of the unions workers......they threaten tobacco companies and they sell their stocks even as many tobacco stocks soar.

Politically correct #$^$&#@*$&$.

"they'll promote him to the ketchup pumper...... "

I'd keep an eye on him though. Make sure he's not sticking his thingy in the pickle cutter...whatever her name is.

ROTFLMCO. Now that's funny. Of course, this joker just might
get the urge to stick it into an onion ring.............just for kicks.

"...It is particularly tricky for a president as young as Mr. Clinton, who still has 'decades' left to pursue another career..."

Possible Careers would include:Caddy,BlackJack Dealer or Hotel Greeter in MACAU,President of Indonesia,Chinese Statesman, Jobs like these are what I expect from #42.He's certainly most likely become the First Ex-President 'to pass on' via "SHAME" when it does eventually catch up w/ him,which it will.LOL

[aristeides]

Hey, wasn't there a change in the ethics rule sometime late in Clinton's presidency to allow a disbarred lawyer to serve in this kind of financial position? Without that change in the rules, I don't think he could be given this position.

Good point.

[weegee]

Naturally, there has to be more to this than meets the eye. Klintoon isn't taking this rather mundane "job" for the fun of it.

Who's to say that he's ever going to visit his office there? "You scratch my back, and I'll scratch yours".

At least he isn't doing Monica's old job at Revlon...

[weegee]

Seems to me it was Ron Burkle who found a job for Jesse Jackson's mistress, wasn't it?

And she sure looked cute in that supermarket deli uniform slicing bologna

How about this? Bill Clinton gets a job as spokesman for Oscar Meyer so that he can continue push baloney on an unsuspecting public!

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

"stick it into an onion ring.............just for kicks. "

Do they make onion rings that small?

[Liz]

Versimilitude.

[Liz]

How about this? Bill Clinton gets a job as spokesman for Oscar Meyer ....

They make all those little weenies don't they?.....LOL.

[Liz]

Possible Careers would include: Caddy, BlackJack Dealer or Hotel Greeter in MACAU...

I still say McDonald's french frier or ketchup pumper.....

[Leto]

They will build a new fund around Clinton. It will involve companies that own chains of Strip Clubs, sex mags, adult internet sites and Bordello's. The Rapist will bring his vast personal knowledge of these businesses to bare. Larry Flynt and Al Goldstein have both hailed the move.

[Ann Archy]

And don't forget the Arkansas Developement Fund that he raided. THAT was what was supposed to get him to jail...forget Whitewater and all the rest. Thanks for notifying the "keepers".

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

"They make all those little weenies don't they?.....LOL. "

A cocktail weenie?
For Bill, that would be called a "strap-on".
With a little piece of dental floss to hold it on.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

We know that there are mega criminal wrongdoings about to be perpetrated here. So, just what does Burkle expect to receive? I can guarantee there is a bigtime payoff for him somewhere. Who can figure out what it is?

[Pagey]

"Seems to me it was Ron Burkle who found a job for Jesse Jackson's mistress, wasn't it?"

Yes indeed he did.

I didn't know that one.Why am I not surprised.Is it because I 'EXPECT' this after 8 years?How anyone would have their money in a fund that he has Anything influence at all,is 100% just beyond my comprehension.I suppose I'm just glad that man is a polar 180 degrees from me,and I don't have people to enable me like that.Imagine what a "Swine" you could become,but still, you'd have to live w/ yourself!---"Ketchup Pumper"?!?!?!? LOL I just told my office staff that one! LOL
