Hillary's Two Rotten Brothers
Remember Jimmy Carter's buffoonish brother Billy, known for "Billy Beer" and dealing with Libyan dictator Gadhafi? Well, Hillary Clinton has a brother, too, and, as reported in the Washington Times, Anthony D. "Tony" Rodham was named recently in an Alexandria, Virginia bankruptcy court filing that could boomerang on Hillary herself as she prepares her presidential run. The Tony Rodham story, in which he is accused of being paid and loaned hundreds of thousand of dollars to lobby for presidential pardons, could resurrect numerous Clinton scandals.The media's blackout of this story demonstrates how Senator Clinton is once again benefiting from the protection provided by the mainstream media. At the very least, she ought to be asked what she thinks of her brother's legal predicament. And if she won't answer, they should ask Bill Clinton about it. The story takes us back to the end of husband Clinton's second term in office, when he made a number of very dubious pardons, some for significant amounts of cash. Hillary's brother Tony had received $244,769 in salary, and loans totaling over $100,000 from people who were granted presidential pardons. According to the suit, he didn't pay them back.
