The Clintons, Cashing In, the American Way

THE CLINTON FOUNDATION, whatever in the world it might possibly actually be, must be the very essence of nefarious iniquity. How can it be otherwise? Does it not involve large amounts of money, and American politicians, past and present? So says every right wing politician and radio talk show host, and isn't their word good enough? Far be it for any right wing talking head to depart in the least from objective assessment. America's conservatives ceaselessly tout their own impartial objectivity and point to the emotion based thinking of liberals, so, there you have it. The Clinton foundation, a charitable non profit organization established for the express purpose of raising and distributing money to assist those most in need, must surely be a veritable hell hole of dark intent, sucking in millions, perhaps trillions of American dollars in foreign money, and, after laundering it, use it to bribe and/or purchase and thus control the actions of such iconic institutions as the FBI, the Supreme Court, and the entire commercial banking system. The cost of access to Hillary Rodham Clinton is soaring, for the very same reason dogs lick their genitals while jealous humans piously shake their heads; because it can. With all that dirty money accruing to the most corrupt power couple in the entire history of the republic, little wonder that every decision made by every federal regulatory agency in America renders unto the Clintons a favorable outcome. Exactly what is going on here in the great american fun house of ex presidential get rich schemes? Well, basically, this: Bill Clinton is cashing in, like most twentieth century former presidents, and has been since he left office in 2001, amid a cloud of smoke and mirrors controversy. Der Slickmeister has accumulated at least one hundred million dollarinis in personal wealth since he become a private citizen, mostly by giving high priced speeches, and marketing his voluminous tome, "My Life". Its almost enough to lure one into fondly remembering the days of Ronald Wilson Reagan (666). Very shortly after leaving the presidency in 1989, Reagan high tailed it to Japan and made off with a cool two million for about forty five minutes of disjointed prattle in the presence of bemused and vicariously embarrassed Japanese high paying high society types. It was indeed fortunate for Ronaldus Magnus that he pulled off this little scam lickety split, for by the summer of 1989 he was clearly in the full throes of dementia, as witnessed by his appearance on television at major league baseball's all star game, when, as the first two batters of the game crushed towering home runs to dead center field and the crowd in Chicago went bananas, dear Ronnie rambled and waxed confused, mumbling something about his time in the radio booth in the nineteen thirties. Bottom line is this: there are few platforms on the planet as conducive to implementing get rich schemes as the American former presidency, and, come hell or high dollar, our modern manifestations of virtuous financial practices are going to cash in. Wasn't it Harry Truman, a plain speaking straight talking fellow if ever there were one, (and there might never have been one), who said that any politician who gets rich while in office must, of necessity, be a damned crook? So there's your answer. They wait patiently until they leave office. The Clintons only do what the rest of us would like to, only they do it better. And lest we plebeians be tempted to cast too many stones and endanger our pitching arms, let us remember this simple truth; in a political, social, and economic system made for corruption, corruption thous shalt have, in spades.
