The other Clinton cashing in too: ....Word of the new Pardongate wrinkle emerged Wednesday night, as former congressman Bob Dornan tipped Fox News Channel's "The Edge with Paula Zahn" to the behind-the-scenes development. "I'll give you an exclusive," Dornan told Zahn. "A reporter from a newspaper called me two days ago trying to get Dan Burton's home number. They have found that $200,000 went into Roger Clinton's bank account. And they believe it came from one of the pardonees." Dornan dropped the new Clinton bombshell just hours after it emerged that Hillary Clinton's brother Hugh Rodham accepted up to $400,000 for securing two highly questionable pardons. "Now if somebody who was pardoned had a deal brokered by the baby brother, and he got $200,000, how can the whole Clinton family - even Hillary, the sister-in-law - escape the ugliness of that?" Dornan asked. Zahn seemed aware of reporters' interest in the younger Clinton's unexplained windfall. "That exchange of money you're talking about is being investigated by a whole slew of reporters," she said.

Not all is as it appears to be. If it was, you would be right about everything. But you're not. I am an independent who voted for Nader, disaffected with Clinton long ago, disgusted by his behavior personally and politically, but in some cases equally so by the other political pots in this country calling the kettle black. Seventy million of taxpayer money spent on investigations-Whitewater, the FBI files, Rose law firm stuff--directed by Republicans-and no smoking guns--and who even now are calculating how to use the pardon issue to raise even more money despite the fact that no criminal behavior has yet been proven. OK, plea bargain on the perjury issue....but really, how much more damage can he do, except to himself? Imagining that painting all Dems with the broad brush of corruption will have any effect on anyone is delusional. And if I chose to believe Dubya's dad was guilty of perjury and obstruction of justice in the Iran-Contra deal and shouted it from the rooftops, would that make it true? So all the spitting and gnashing of teeth on this thread isn't going to make me a Republican either. Both sides are corrupt. I excuse none of it. But I also have a life. OK, you can throw up now. LOL.
