Clinton Cries Poor He may be raking in hundreds of thousands of dollars in speaking fees and wallowing in his multi-million dollar book deal, but America's only full-time professional ex-president is short of cash. As the New York Post's lively Page Six reports, Bill Clinton who charges upward of $250,000 per speech, is crying poverty. It appears that he tried to pick up some art works "on the cheap, claiming he's short on cash," the Post reported. As the Post explained, a Manhattan art collector got a call last week from an unnamed dealer who wanted to buy certain paintings...

The former president and current New York senator proved it Saturday when they stopped at the Pots & Plants nursery on Bee Cave Road and bought two pairs of the famed plastic flock that decorates the nursery's hillside along the Loop 360 access road.

Another of the former president's famous Austin friends, former...
