Rich will continue to live in Switzerland...I know the area he lives in and for most, this would be thought of as paradise to most people...lives in a mansion with terrific views of the Alps, mins from Lake Zurich, very commutable to downtown Zurich, 2 hrs from Davos and a whole host of other amazing ski areas (which is where they snagged him a couple of times), is driven around town in an S-class Mercedes (to have a driver in Switzerland is a huge rarity), etc, etc...for him, America is now a hostile land, so my guess is that like many others before him, he will continue to live life on the lam...only difference now is that he will look over his shoulder a little less often...I can only guess that the years without his daughter who died tragically and limited access to other family members and friends caused him much hardship.

Zoltan, there aren't many posters here who don't think that the Rich pardon stinks. I have said so previously, and if he never comes back to the US, so much the better. I do think, however, that in this case Bush is taking the right approach. All of this Rich stuff is a distraction from his attempts to push his agenda, and may lead to some embarrassing revelations about his VP's chief of staff. Also, unlike Burton, Bush realizes that every time the GOP has tried to go after Clinton, it bites them in the butt. Ask the previous two House speakers. Moreover, Burton's moralistic rantings are a bit hypocritical. sit.wisc.edu
