This is what you should be concerned about. The last eight years Chelsea and Gore's kids were left alone and allowed to exist without the media scrutiny. newsmax.com Clinton's Entourage Accused of Shakedown Scam Did ex-President Clinton's entourage try to shake down a local British distillery for a $70,000 presidential endorsement fee during a stopover in Wales this weekend? That's what Britain's respected Guardian newspaper claims in Monday's editions. "One cottage distiller claimed he was asked for £50,000 ($70,000 U.S.) for a presidential endorsement of Danzy Jones Wysgi Licor, his 'old style mellow' Welsh whisky liqueur," reports the Guardian. Former art lecturer Ben Jones told the newspaper that he couldn't believe his luck when a man organizing the president's trip to the Hay-on-Wye books festival telephoned him three weeks ago, saying Mr Clinton was "keen to drop in" on his farmyard distillery in Abergavenny. "He told me Mr Clinton likes to taste local produce where ever he goes, particularly whiskies," said Jones. Then came the pitch for cash: "He told me that 'Of course you realize the ex-president has to earn a living, and that when they were talking to a distillery in Ireland a figure of £50,000 was mentioned." After Jones told Clinton's representative that he couldn't afford the sky-high endorsement fee, he never heard from the ex-president or his people again. Clinton's spokespeople refused to deny the specific allegation Sunday, but insisted that he "only accepted honorariums for speaking engagements". Clinton collected $150,000 fee for a speech in Hay-on-Wye, Wales Saturday night.

To all: This attack on the Bush children is really hitting below the belt. I PRESUME anyone on this thread MOST LIKELY has a college education. If so unless you were a COMPLETE NERD you MUST have noticed that this drinking and all is PAR FOR THE COURSE at college (what do you think Social Fraternities were for). I was a Veteran and of drinking age when I went to college, but I did live either on the campus, in a frat house, or in an apartment off campus during my years there and I saw PLENTY of this drinking and that was A LONG time ago in a SMALL town. If these were not the daughters of the President no one would even BLINK AN EYE. jdn
