Done Deal
Bill Clinton is doing the right thing and preparing to do donor disclosure related to his foundation in order to clear the path for Hillary’s nomination as Secretary of State. I was shocked by how far her presidential campaign was able to go without Bill taking this step. Good for Obama for insisting on it, and good for the Clintons for complying.
Now, perhaps, we can refocus some attention on the scandal of George W. Bush’s library fundraising. All throughout the second term of his administration he’s been raising undisclosed, unlimited funds from foreign governments, businessmen, and God knows whoever else. The whole system is in need of reform, but there’s been basically no attention or reporting on Bush’s activities.

Well, as I gather it, anything the Clintons do is an outrageous scandal, while anything done by the Bush family is considered not really worth emphasizing. It’s not like Bush Sr. has ever had any questionable associations or financial transactions.

Miatch - all they have to do is lower her salary back to what it was before 2006, and she’s golden.

What about Clinton’s future fundraising? Does $5 million to fight HIV in Africa get you an intimate cocktail party with the Secretary of State attending? Because that’s chump change to Central Asian oil magnates.

You have to wonder what the payoff is to those forums that shell out $425,000 to hear Clinton drone on. It can’t be because they actually want to hear him speak.
