Considering the incredible number of "Friends of Bill" who are
under indictment, under investigation by independent counsel,
in jail or awaiting sentencing then Bill Clinton is either
1) involved himself, or 2) he has extremely poor taste in
selecting his friends and advisors.  If you would defend Clinton
that he is a much maligned, noble and honest man (as is the
official White House policy) and has simply suffered the
misfortune of being surrounded by dishonest people then would
you want such a person (with such an uncanny ability to select
crooks and felons as his closest advisors) leading the country?

Speaking for myself--NOT!
