Bill Clinton gave the organization prestige and celebrity,  and his talent and knowledge.  The result:   10 million saved from AIDs.  Also, half of the poor of the developing world receive AIDs drugs because of CGI.

The critics just gloss over this.

Tweety said yesterday that his son worked for the Clinton Foundation in Africa, ensuring that aid was not snatched by corrupt local officials and actually got to the people.

Of all the angles that the media have taken to portray Mrs. Clinton in a negative light, this sliming of the Clinton Foundation is both the most asinine and the most despicable, given the good work that the foundation does worldwide. The folks at the Associated Press should be ashamed of themselves for publishing such a foul and trashy piece of hackitude.

Not only did the AP blatantly misrepresent the actual number of people Mrs. Clinton met as Secretary of State, they failed to factor out those involved in organizations that had ongoing business before the State Department, or the number of groups who were involved in programs with USAID.

Further, a fair number of the people in the AP's list, including Nobel Peace Prize laureate Muhammad Yunus, did not donate personally to foundation, but were associated with organizations that did, a clear distinction which the AP declined to make. Another person on the AP list was Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel. Secretary Clinton also met with the former South African President Nelson Mandela, whose own foundation once contributed to the Clinton Global Initiative.

Those damned Nobel Peace Prize laureates! Can no one rid us of these moralizing reprobates and thus put an end to their nefarious left-wing and influence-peddling ways?

I mean, really. If you can't say something nice about Bill and Hillary Clinton, Mrs. Alan Greenspan would like you to give her a call and tell her all about it. Is this what the media has been reduced to?

We deserve far better than the scandalmongering and fact-free shillfest we're getting over our public airwaves, and it's high time we demanded better. Personally, I'm all for targeting and going after journo-pundits who spin stories like this out of whole cloth. When they do so, they deliberately insert themselves into their own storylines and thus render themselves fair game.

The press conference is important to the press corps, but much less so to the public. Savvy candidates and celebrities, have discarded this relic and moved to social media and other means of communication, such as lengthy one on one interviews and appearances on talk shows.

The media who have been cognizant of the CGI for 15 years and for the most part it has been lauded and considered very transparent. Now because of the right wing smears suddenly "questions are raised".

Follow the money.  How much money did Hillary and Bill take from the Foundation?  Nada. Zip. Zero.  That is some corruption.

And it is not hiding behind the Foundation's good works to make clear that the Foundation is a charitable organization.   That is the whole point.  This is not a failed casino business. This is not an oil company that pays the Clintons mega dividends.

• Increasing several-fold our efforts to combat HIV and AIDS in Africa, especially in east and southern Africa where the infection rate was approaching 20-25% of those regions' population, which has prevented an otherwise profound tragedy from evolving into a humanitarian catastrophe of an unimaginable scale;

• Quadrupling the amount of federal spending in support of community health centers or FQHCs -- now known as federally-qualified health centers -- throughout the United States, which has since made an extraordinary difference in both the availability and the delivery of health and dental care to economically challenged populations, especially in rural America. (While the urban inner-city often provides the gritty photo backdrop for many stories about the poor, the most stubborn and intractable pockets of poverty in this country are often found in our neglected rural communities.)

It was awsum.

IMO the most insidious and inspired part was the stretch where she brought up past GOP nominees Dole, Bush, McCain and drew a line separating Trump from them.  Now, you we can argue about how completely factual that is.  We know the Republican Party has nodded and winked at all this stuff for decades.  But IMO politically it's genius.  

Is this who you are, republicans?  Is this really who you want to be?

the swimmers didn't really do anything terribly wrong.  

This is the mother of all wedge issues.  She wrapped the fringe around his neck and locked it there.   I would expect this is the opening salvo that will take aim at every republican in the country.  Pick a side.

Every republican in the country who has not denounced Trump is going to be forced to talk about this every day until November.
