I can’t say I was overwhelmingly shocked by the Clintons’ overwhelming income (109.2 million) since Bill left office. The nearly 52 million for speech-making seemed about right too. [It's hard to find good speakers these days.-ed. I know you mean- ever since Will Rogers died.] But call me a skeptic, there’s something about 10.25 million in charitable deductions that’s making me raise an eyebrow. How much of that went to Bill’s own charitable foundation and library. [Not more than 8 million, I promise. -ed. Hey, maybe you could get one of those nice administrative salaries. Are you firing me? No, but you might want to quit. There are some good real estate buys in Little Rock right now.]

1. srlucado:$10,250,000 in charitable contributions? Mr. Clinton, what charities, exactly?
“Depends on what the meaning of ‘charity’ is.”

I am so cynical. Might “charity” be defined as a home for wayward women between the ages of 20 to 26, blondes preferred?

Another phrase that Slick has permanently ruined. The IRS should have the Clintoons on their permanent audit list in view of their inability to ever tell the unvarnished truth.
