Off Topic and Politically Incorrect Department - Clinton Wins Monopoly Tournament ATLANTIC CITY - This year's annual Monopoly tournament ended with a surprise victory by President Clinton. This was the Chief Executive's first time competing in the tournament and many hope that it's his last. Clinton, responding to complaints about his playing tactics, told BNN, "The other competitors are just sore losers. I won fair and square." Clinton's competitors see it differently. Said Jim Parker, who lost to Clinton in the semi-finals, "He used his office as a means of changing the rules in his favor." Parker's brother, who was also defeated by the President, complained, "He was the only competitor who brought an attorney to dispute the rules of the game." Some of the controversial tactics used by Clinton included using his attorney, David Kendall, to keep him out of jail and engaging in deficit spending when money supplies dwindled. However the most controversial move by the President occurred when he ordered the IRS to audit other players every time they landed on the 'Income Tax' block. After the audits players were then ordered to pay their 'income tax' directly to Clinton. Despite bitter complaints by the other competitors, officials refused to disqualify Clinton because his public opinion polls remained high throughout the duration of the tournament.
