Max,

Explain how six figure speaking fees and donations to the Clinton Library are any better than Huckabee's wedding registry? (Remember Hillary was running for the senate or was a sitting senator during this time.) Ethically they look at least as bad. $40 million in speaking fees alone in 6 years.

the NYT will be publishing the list of donors (asked to raise $500 MILLION) for W's book depository in Dallas, when ?

"W's book depository in Dallas"

Great name, muleboy.

tyvm hugh,

i expect there will be alot of "patsies" employed there :)

Ludicrous and obscene speaking fees are a perk available to all ex-presidents and I don't begrudge them for grasping for all they can rake in. I do think it is pathetic that they whined about their astronomical legal fees and milked the generous, no make that, gullible, public for contributions to pay their personal debts, knowing that the coming largesse would make that financial blemish look no worse than a pimple.

As for their implied prostituting themselves to library donors - isn't that what most politicians do? This just gives them a better opportunity to milk the system than lesser pols have.

Equally sad - Max only considers their attempts to hide the identities of the johns buying their favors . . . as a "rub". I guess its normal to minimize the sins of those you wish to favor and inflate the sins of those you oppose.
