Like usual, you refused to respond to a genuine quid pro quo payoff:

What is absolutely appalling and outrageous is all the money Clinton the Corrupt has received illegally while in office from China and Indonesia in return for nuclear weapons technology and changes in trade and human rights policy.


Zlot, poor Zlot, TRY to calm down! (And also try to say "AS usual".) Sales of nuclear weapons technology to Indonesia? Gimme a break. How would they PAY for it?

And you seem once again to miss my point: this money does not seem to have found its way into the Clintons' pockets. Ronnie--okay, he was Altzheimered out by then--was more than willing to accept two mill for a speech about a month after he left office. And of course it was perfectly FINE for "Friends of Reagan" to buy him and Nancy a house. Nothing odd in taht, right?

And as for "human rights policy"...wasn't taht a Carter thing? Despised as impractical by the Republicans, Reagan included? And I think it IS impractical to try to impose our notion of human rights on other societies. Might be beneficial, yes, but unlikely to work. Are we having any luck with the Taleban? Offer 'em TVs, corrupt 'em.
