If Clinton doesn't make it as an an investment advisor, Burkle can always train the ex-president to bag groceries. If he can't bring home the corporate bacon, Clinton I betcha would be a whiz at bagging the bacon.

Friend Hires [Bill] Clinton to Be Investment Fund Adviser

Their friends would be better off hiring Hillary, what with the way she was able to get 10,000% profit out of those cattle futures.

[Destructor]

Smart move. He'll make a killing in the Commodities Market trading Cattle Futures.

Hey, I just got my first investment fund advise from Clinton:

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am Bill Clinton, Bank Manager of ORIENT BANK OF NIGERIA, Lagos Branch. I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.

On June 6 1997, Mr. Ben Dover died from an automobile accident. He had an account of US$25,000,000.00 (Twenty-five Million Dollars) in my branch. On further investigation, I found out that he did not leave a WILL and all attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless.

Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Ben Dover so that the fruits of this old man's labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt officials. A bank account in any part of the world, which you provide, will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin. Please send the information of your bank account to me so that I can transfer the money. We will then divide it, 75% for me and 25% for you.

Oh, I thought this might be from The Onion.

So, Billy's desperate for some legitimacy, eh?

Can you imagine what he'll say at parties...

Stupid Woman: So, Billy, what're you doing these days?

BJC: Well, baby, I'm an INVESTMENT ADVISOR.

Stupid Woman: Ooooh, how exciting. Tell me, where can I invest my assets?

BJC: Baby, if you show me your assets, I'll show you mine.

UGH!!!! What was I thinking??? Okay, off I go to higher pursuits.

[Piquaboy]

I hear that Bill has done away with the zipper on his pants and now has velcro. The only job he has ever been good at is exposing himself.

[Young Werther]

Ah!!! "the aristocracy of pull". ..or "it's not what you know but who you blow..."

The consumate bagman, Sick Willie!

Bill Clinton has been hired as a senior adviser at two investment funds that specialize in lower-income urban and rural communities.

Pack the truck Hillary! Were going back to Whitewater. Git yur gun and ski mask!

This article is from the Times? Don't they have editors there?

[mafree]

Burkel better watch the money more closely now.

Last November, former Vice President Al Gore became the vice chairman of Metropolitan West Financial...

Albore can't seem to be president of anything.

[Grampa Dave]

My wife had a considerable amount of her IRA invested in the Total Return, bond fund of Met West. The fund had done well for years and suddenly started to under perform its competition Pimco's and Vanguard's similiar bond funds. We had decided to sell all shares and reinvest in Pimco and Vanguard.

I think that the word was out on the street, and the good retirement fund managers were bailing out before the rest of us found out that Met West was going to pay Goron an outrageous sum just to have his name on their Marquee.

The day after we sold them, the news that Met West had hired Goron who could not even spell nor pronounce bonds came out. He was to get an outrageous salary for not even working. He admitted that he had tried other Wall Street Firms with a wink and a hand shake to get the outrageous pay to build back his campaign chest for a try in 2004. All of the major Wall Street Firms told him to take a hike. His old buddies at Met West decided to buy him him.

This is even worse with the smart criminal, the Clintoon becoming a phoney investment guy.

The people who will get screwed on this will be the people who work for states/counties/cities and their retirement fund has investment in this trash. Since 99.999999999999999% of these people are card carrying Rat voting cult members, so be it!

[cardinal4]

Isnt putting x42 in charge of an investment firm like asking the fox to guard the chicken coop?

[Ann Archy]

I hope he loses all those stupid people's money....NEVER EVER trust a LYING CHEAT! Mr Burkle must be DIRTY.

[Geezerette]

When I first saw your title, I thought it was a late April Fools joke!! Or an article from BSNN!

Isn't this kinda/sorta like hiring the fox to "guard" the henhouse?

[Revolting cat!]

two investment funds that specialize in lower-income urban and rural communities.

This is the giveaway to me. Private investments in "lower-income urban and rural communities" are often enough guaranteed by taxpayers and are arranged by gubmint officials. (Or whatever. Government connections are virtually guaranteed.) Imagine having an ex-president of the world's last remaining superpower lobbying (i.e. posing for pitchers with) county supervisors of Padooka County, Some State. Try to resist that, Padooka honkies!

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Just exaclty what is it on his resumé that qualifies Clintoon as an Investment Fund Adviser?

The only investment advice he's qualified to give is, "Go for the Quarter Pounder today, I've got a coupon".

[Koblenz]

Clinton's fund is going to specialize in bonds that have no maturity and have no principles.

[arete]

It's just a scam. Money will move from investors pockets into the pocket of Clinton. Anyone with a single ounce on sense will stay away from those funds.

This is a joke, right?
