>>I am sure the Clintons have some deal up their sleeve to pay their legal expenses. So you know why they're on their way back to China. Gee, so many US interests to sell out - but the Clintons must be more careful this time - maybe they can get Betty Curry to do it. Then they can pick up some more cash if they make a brief stopover at Indonesia to see the former Clinton slush fund manager. There was an article in the Washington Post last week about how Clinton was providing clandestine training for the secret police in Indonesia - maybe they keep some bank accounts there that he wants to protect.

>>I am not exactly in the Gore fan club, but I think he is a lot more ethical than Clinton Remember Gore lied about his tobacco interests - he even continued to sell the stuff after his sister's death. But that didn't stop him from using her as a political prop. Then there was his "no controlling legal authority" concerning his illegal fundraising. How about his shakedown of Buddhist nuns? Look at this, Gore is set to save one of the biggest contributors to the Dem Party at the expense of scholarships for poor children: Conservative Republicans back an amendment to repeal the deductibility of gambling losses in order to finance a program to provide scholarships for low-income children. "How do you argue against helping underprivileged children?" worries Frank Fahrenkopf of the American Gaming Association. Gambling interests count on senators from horse-racing states, like Kentucky's McConnell, to lead the opposition. One concern: The idea could be picked up to help pay for IRS overhaul or tax cuts. To underscore its opposition to the broader GOP bill, the White House may send Gore to preside over the Senate debate. interactive.wsj.com
