NY Times editorial board urges Clinton to ban foundation's foreign donations
 [CNN] The New York Times...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... Editorial Board called on Hillary Clinton ... sometimes described as The Heroine of Tuzlaand at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Henry Clay... to ban all foreign donations to her family's charity in a editorial published Friday. The call comes after a string of reports noting that the Clinton Foundation had begun to accept foreign donations after banning them for the four years Clinton served as secretary of state. The foundation has since defended donations from countries like Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... , the United Arab Emirates and Oman as philanthropy, not influence peddling, but Democrats and Republicans have questioned the practice. "All of which underlines the need for Hillary Rodham Clinton ... sometimes described as the Smartest Woman in the World and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Charles Evans Hughes... , in her all but certified role as a Democratic presidential candidate, to reinstate the foundation's ban against foreign contributors, who might have matters of concern to bring before a future Clinton administration," the editorial board wrote. "This was a restriction Mrs. Clinton worked out with the B.O. regime to allay concerns of potential conflict of interest when she became secretary of state in 2009." Posted by: Fred 2015-02-22 |
