Charity Oversight



Clintons' Charity Not Listed On Senate Disclosure Forms

Did you know that Hill, Bill, and Chelsea have operated a family charity since 2001, and that Hill has failed to list it on annual Senate financial disclosure reports on five occasions?

Oversight?

Clerical Error?

Yeah, right... it can happen to anyone.

I've always thought that Hilary's image needed some work, but I wouldn't have thought she was a charity case. Guess I'm wrong.

(yes, I can be catty sometimes)

nanc: Really? I think it's more work & sometimes it's so slow that I end up repeating messages like above. Also, there have been quite a few glitches with my password being incorrect even thosugh it isn't.

Me, too. Nothing like being locked out of your own blog...

The Clintons couldn't tell the truth to save their lives.

cube said...

brooke: I agree. Truth isn't part of the Clintoons utterly ruthless quest for power.

I rag about BLOGGER when I'm frustrated, but it is pretty remarkable really... and free :-)

If it's free, it's for me! ;)

brooke: Like minds think alike ;-)

Um, is that really the name of their charity, The Human Fund, or is that for illustrative purposes only? I'm rather hoping the latter, otherwise they're dill brains, as well as dishonest.

Why would she be so stupid not to list her own family charity fund?

caz: Sorry, this was my feeble attempt at satire, but you'd have to know about the Seinfeld Show in order to appreciate it. I'll explain the significance... The Human Fund was a fake charity invented by a sitcom character named George Costanza. He would receive real presents from others and in return give these fake Human Fund certificates. Hence the analogy to the grifter Clintons.

They didn't list the charity for 5 years in a row because they knew that once discovered, their transgression wouldn't be used against them by the liberally biased press (it would likely destroy a Republican's career). All they had to do is say it was an oversight & the whole matter would be forgiven & forgotten.

Ah, of course, THAT "Human Fund". Do'h!

I knew it sounded kinda familiar. :-D
