Bill Clinton, your financial adviser? Bill Clinton--remember him?--will join a private investment firm run by California supermarket magnate Ronald Burkle, a chum and financial backer of the ex-president. Clinton will advise Yucaipa Companies and funds, including the Yucaipa American Fund and the Yucaipa Corporate Initiative Fund, Yucaipa said in a statement on Thursday. Burkle, who ranks No. 327 on the Forbes World's Richest People roster and boasts a net worth of at least $1.4 billion, said in a statement, "We are proud that President Clinton will serve as a senior adviser to our firm...Much of what we have accomplished and continue to pursue in our investment strategy matches the platform the president outlined while in office with his New Markets Initiative." Burkle has held a large stake in discount retailer Kmart (nyse: KM - news - people ), which filed for bankruptcy protection earlier this year. He likely prevented a massive loss on the shares through sophisticated hedging techniques, analysts told Reuters in January.

i think i first saw it used on the mclaughlin group. here, i even found the transcript for you from 1998. who says you can't learn anything from watching tv! mclaughlin.com Exit question: After hearing these tapes, give me one word to describe the character or temperament of Bill Clinton -- one word, quickly. Pat Buchanan? MR. BUCHANAN: Totally self-indulgent. MR. MCLAUGHLIN: Self-indulgent. MS. CLIFT: Self-indulgent's right, but these tapes are about Linda Tripp, too. She's -- MR. MCLAUGHLIN: So that's what you give -- MS. CLIFT: She's the evil creature betraying a friend. (Laughter.) MR. MCLAUGHLIN: Okay. Oh, yeah. MS. CLIFT: Huge betrayal here. MR. MCLAUGHLIN: We know that she's just a devil. (Laughter.) All right, what about you? MR. BLANKLEY: An aging roue. MR. MCLAUGHLIN: An aging roue? How about a libertine? How about a wastrel? MR. BLANKLEY: I like roue. MR. MCLAUGHLIN: A knave? A rogue? (Laughter.) What do you say? MR. O'DONNELL: Possibly the most reckless president we've ever had. MR. MCLAUGHLIN: My insight from these tapes, these particular tapes, is that Bill Clinton is loathsome. When we come back, we'll have predictions.
