ALWAYS A FRESH HELL AND NEVER A BOTTOM

Saw George Stephanopoulos on Sunday at the ABC News Brunch. I’ve always liked him, despite our differences. He’s never obnoxious, often smart, and he sure looks better than he did when he was flacking for Bill. So he deserves some credit for stating the obvious on television yesterday: “He [Clinton] pardoned a man named Marc Rich. You may not remember Marc Rich but he was a banker, a commodities trader, who was trading with Iran when they were holding terrorists and trading with South Africa under the Apartheid regime, indicted by Rudy Giuliani, instead of facing trial he went on the lam, lived in Switzerland for 17 years. His ex-wife has given $600,000 almost, over $500,000 to the Democratic Party over the last two years. This is outrageous.” Yes, George. But so was almost everything else. Rich’s ex-wife says she’s appalled and never asked for it. But Clinton’s not after her money; he’s after his. Who’s gonna bankroll a Hillary campaign? The Big Creep went out as he came in – hustling for cash. Here’s what the man deputed to process pardons at the Justice Department said about Clinton’s shameless abuse of his office even in its final hours: “I’ve never seen anything like this. We were up literally all night as the White House continued to add names. Many people on the list didn’t even apply for pardons.” No, but did they offer the Democrats half a million?
