There’s a reason George W. Bush doesn’t travel abroad. He’s afraid he’ll be arrested for war crimes and stand trial in some third world country. Like France. Another war criminal is Syrian President Bashar Assad. Whatever definition of war criminal we use, Assad fits. Why not just declare him an international fugitive and have him … Read More »
Hillary vs. Jeb
February 28, 2012
2012 is the craziest political season ever. Just look at the Republican candidates for president. Newt. Mitt. Rick. Ron. Not one of them will get 50-percent of the primary delegates by the summer convention. What will happen? How about Hillary vs. Jeb? Why not? The Republicans think I’ll run against Barack, and they can’t find … Read More »
Al Jazeera Is ‘Real News’, Fox Is Not
February 27, 2012
There. I said it. Again. Al Jazeera does a better job of reflecting news of the day than Fox News. Or, as they call Roger Ailes crown family jewels in the White House, Faux News. When I spoke before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee last year I told them what I thought. The U.S. is … Read More »
Bill To The Highest Bidder
February 24, 2012
What was I thinking? My only regret is that I didn’t think of this before. Bill went to the CharityBuzz Celebrity Auction and brought in a bucket of money. How much? $255,000. Even Oprah wasn’t worth that much money. The woman who runs Grant Me The Wisdom Foundation, Debbie McLoed, put up the winning bid. … Read More »
Cough It Up, Apple!
February 23, 2012
American companies are hoarding their international cash to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars. I say, “Cough it up!” Large cash reserves are nothing new, of course. But it’s a sign of the times. Companies don’t want to take risks so they sit on their profits and refuse to bring it back to … Read More »
The White Shirt Memo!
February 22, 2012
Mexico is nice this time of year. That’s why the G20 Group held their Ministers of Foreign Affairs in Los Cabos. The Mexican Mafia were all drunk or hungover and couldn’t make it despite their last minute threats. One of my aids told me they got lost below deck trying to rob a cruise ship. … Read More »
4 Hours Of Bill, Me, And Monica (but no Newt)
February 21, 2012
PBS is running the Clinton series. It’s a four hour documentary about Bill’s life from childhood to presidency. Out of four hours that spans about 40 years, there’s 40 minutes of Monica Lewinsky. What’s with that, PBS? It’s old news. Let it be already. It’s not like Bill was the first president to enjoy the … Read More »
World Bank, Here I Come!
February 20, 2012
Money talks. Bill makes more money in a half dozen speeches than I make as Secretary of State. That’s why the job at the World Bank looks compelling. With Robert Zoellick out, it’s time to dust off my resume. The only problem? The World Bank is an old boys club. More specifically, it’s an old … Read More »
