Hill and Bill
So there's former President Clinton over in the UAE, recommending Joe Lockhart to help them with the PR required to overcome the negative reaction of the American public to the Dubai ports deal. Then there's his wife, Hillary, over here in American waxing on about how dangerous the deal is and it should not even be considered. Hillary's reaction to her husband's actions in UAE was that she didn't know what he was doing.
Goodness knows these two would never talk out of both sides of their mouth or anything.
Let's take a trip around the Blogosphere and find out what others have discovered or have to say.
DO THESE TWO EVER TALK?
"U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton didn't know her husband was giving Dubai advice on the port deal she's fighting and Bill Clinton says he didn't even get paid for it."
- New York Daily News, 3/3/306
From MSNBC.com:
Mrs Clinton's own senatorial financial disclosure forms reveal that her husband earned $450,000 giving speeches in Dubai in 2002.
"If his status is less clear, here is what we do know: If Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton did not know about her husband's standing with the United Arab Emirates and with Dubai World Ports, members of her Senate staff most assuredly did.
"There were enough people in the Clintons' orbit who were potentially going to be part of the deal," says an employee of a firm that does work for both Clintons. "We were pursuing work on the ports deal, and we cleared our participation with Clinton's office. We didn't want there to be a conflict."
If anybody thinks that two lifelong politicians would not discuss this sort of thing please raise your hand. I've got some waterfront desert property for sale.
Yale, Now Taliban University
The Taliban used to execute women publicly for showing an ankle. They allowed Al-Queda to flourish. They were (are) horrible examples of man's inhumanity to man, or women in the Taliban's case.
Now I don't know how involved this new Yale student Hashemi was with the Taliban (although the Fund quote below indicates he was a high official), but from the little I've heard he is neither ashamed of his former association with the Taliban or does he regret it. Yet the vaunted Yale welcomes him with eager diverse eyes.
