"My fellow Americans....I feel your pain."

[Sam Pawlett]

I am a foreigner too. I live in Canada. I thought the political consequences
of this tidbit would be self-evident. It shows the arrogance, hypocrisy and
contempt for the American people that Clinton has. $83,000 could feed a lot of
people, fix up housing, send someone to college etc. It does not set a very
good example or set very high standards.Things like this only make the
political culture of the U.S. more cynical. Rumor has it that Clinton was
receiving a bj while getting his hair trimmed. An excellent example of time
management.
