I wonder how NPR feels about Billy Bob's wife peddling influence in exchange for cash while at the State Department?
So where does NPR stand on the revelation that Billy Bob's missus, Hillary Clinton was peddling access to the highest bidders while Secretary of State?
Huh? What's that you say?
Oh that's right. NPR is an unofficial communications arm of the Clinton campaign and will have no comment on criminal activities of any kind perpetrated by any Clinton or Clinton-appointed operative..
What do you mean was. Influence prices just went up. Last chance to get your spot before the shop closes. Although you know it won't close.
The made 400k when they left the White House. Now they have millions upon millions. For speeches. I'm sure the sultan of Bahrain give 35 million to anyone who calls looking for a donation. Dems actually believe that? The answer seems to be yes. Nothing to see here.
So, ignoring this particular story, I see that you're not supporting comments anymore, starting tomorrow. Starting tomorrow, I will therefore remove you from my list of news sources. I can get big stories anywhere. The point is being able to talk about them. Some version of this comment will be posted on many of your big stories today, because I imagine many have overlooked that little grey explanatory line of yours, and our last gasp of discussion shouldn't be limited to but a single thread.
You have been reading a pack of left wing lying propagandists claiming to be journalists anyway. This rag will be relegated to preaching to it's sycophant lemming followers beginning tomorrow.
So claims someone who undoubtedly believes that faux news is the only unbiased place around.
What happened here?!
1.Trade agreements like NAFTA in which labor and environmental provisions were NEVER enforced
2.Repeal of Glass-Steagal
3.Failure to regulate derivatives
4.Continuation of massive Pentagon spending
5."Poisoning the well" for the 2000 elections by reckless behavior in Lewinsky-gate
6. Setting up a "Clinton Foundation" to create a backwater channel for bribery
What could be worse?...Trump. Sorry Republicans, you blew it.
The only President to be impeached for Lying, that's quite a compliment to boast about on the Campaign Trail.
Which is worse...lying about an affair or lying a country into a criminal war and bankrupting it in the bargain?
Ask Hillary Clinton
(1) The Comeback Kid / 1st Black President are both one and the same - and I'll give you that his election was indeed a defining moment.
(2) This one you missed - Bill handed over the momentum of his "first hundred days" to his wife to push a failed government healthcare expansion, which like Obamacare, was vastly unpopular to the American People, and like Obamacare served to blunt the administration in its opening strides.
(3) This one you also missed - Bill, after losing Congress, actually compromised and worked WITH a GOP controlled Congress led by Conservatives (like Newt Gingrich), and got good things done, like Welfare reform.
(4) You were right about the sexual improprieties and crimes, as well as the subsequent impeachment.
(5) First "Dude" is something that cannot be a defining moment, because it has not happened. It didn't happen in 2008 and 2016 is no sure thing. Right now, both becoming a Rhode Scholar or becoming Gov. of Arkansas rank higher, as they are actual things.
Would Bills medical records tell how much penicillin he has used over his lifetime? I'd like to see the Clinton Library. I heard that his 1970 Chevrolet El Camino with shag carpet was on display.
Where's the portrait with the blue dress hidden in the background?
Bill says, "Fat bottom girls make the rockin' world go 'round."

#6: Meeting Loretta Lynch on the tarmac to save his wife's bid for the Presidency.
Great president. Hate if you want to but at least recognize that America rocked under his tenure. Then came W...and that's a whole lotta mess.
A disgrace to the office ! Democrats have no decency with trying to get this dangerous , felonious duo back in the WH.
America ain't rocking. This is the worst recovery from a recession since 1940. Tepid is the best you could call it.
And even conceding your optimistic appraisal, what exactly has he done that is responsible for it? The Stimulus was a bust. The Fed's printing presses fueled the stock market recovery. Obamacare is a disaster. Foreign policy likewise. What did he do that was good?
He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize merely for the color of his skin.
The article is about Bill Clinton. Pay attention, Fred.
Bill Clinton - Impeached Disbarred Sexual Predator
Amen !
President Clinton has a visible tremor these days. I hope it's something relatively benign.
what you're seeing is eagerness to get next to a young white house intern!
yuck... and I believe madame secretary had a shock collar installed to keep him out of trouble. rumor has it their bedroom looks like it's lit with a strobe light when she's out of town... hey folks I'm here for two more days, don't forget to tip your waitstaff and bartenders...
"The 'Comeback Kid' His parent should have named him herpes!
"The 'First Black President' That would be the current PIC, not him!
"The crime bill" Now Hillary wants no part of it!
"The Lewinsky scandal and impeachment" But he never had! His most infamous lie!
"Potential 'First Gentleman" Everyone has to have a dream! Reality is going to be a harsh mistress!
But he knows climate change is not a Chinese hoax
Of course, it's a liberal hoax.
Lord, you are loony. Does it hurt to be that dim?
What's wrong, wake up on the wrong side of your cage again? You should be glad the comment is closing down. It will stop you from embarrassing yourself so much! It will also stop you from playing doctor. In some states that's a felony! However given your name, you could plead insanity!
Yes, the National PUBLIC Radio, supported by our tax dollars, is quashing public comment. Here's the money quote: "Thank God we don't get all the government we pay for." -- Milton Friedman
Only 5% of NPR is funded by our tax dollars. Quit whining.
They should not be getting ANY tax dollars, but as long as they are, they should be forced to comply support the 1st Amendment.
How about one more. Clinton signed almost every trade agreement, costing countless American manufacturing jobs. Remember his agressive effort to bring China into the WTO? No of course you don't. His crowning achievement. American jobs, and money for cheap Chinese, and in some cases dangerous goods.
NPR its a pity you are selling yourself short by shutting your comments section off. You are doing a disservice to those of your readers. Particularly those brainwashed by your manipulative propaganda. Can't handle the truth.
NAFTA was initiated by HW Bush. There have been Trade agreements before and after NAFTA. Whether you like it or not Global trade is a reality. These days, you can't win advantage in international trade through colonies, the only way is trade agreements which always involve give and take. You can be a loser stuck at home or have multiple winners making compromises with each other.
China in WTO gave us a forum to directly influence and control China's aggressive trade practices which are no different from what many western nations including US had used before. And btw China's major global entry started with Nixon. It probably helped China have significant stakes in global peace, thus preventing more vietnams and a eventual world war.
Oh and what is China doing today in the South China sea?
All the more reason to have that influence on China. Another reason to have TPP which by the way does not include China but other regional countries whom will have help put pressure on China.
However you have to rule in the fact that Obama is weak, and seen a weak. The Chinese are testing the waters, and so far they like what they feel. If what you say is true why has it not been used?
Obama is weak is a opinion you have and you can keep it to yourself. What has not been used. You are making no sense at all.
The $10MM payoff from Denise Rich for Marc Rich's pardon? Pretty low in my book. Done during the last minutes in office, too.
You think it should have been more?
It was, just done offshore.
Bill Clinton is a genius and it is no surprise lowly rightwingers hate him.
Yet a lonely intern brought him down!
You mean went down on him!
You're correct!
Funny you like Bill Clinton but hate Hillary
