  Maybe Laura wants to set up a quick bogus residency in the larger town to run for office? Wait, that was the last guys wife in office switching to New York wasn’t it? Didn’t our last president create a new office in Manhattan after his presidency? Oops, sorry, he switched it to Harlem when the wind blew that way. Any chance Mr. Cunningham that “W” will be left alone once out of office as I imagine he will fade into the sunset unlike the previous couple listed above? Is displacement of that much anger all at once asking too much?

  I have a feeling we would have been better off in many instances honestly if Laura was behind the wheel, just me.

  Optimistic1: Harlem, if you don’t know, is in Manhattan.

  Pat: I have been there, sorry for not saying Midtown, didn’t think it was needed. When I think Manhattan, I think one of the most wealthy places in the US, Harlem doesn’t jump to mind for me anyway, must be my Elitism/Racism.

  Seems silly we pay for office space for all these guys anyway. Almost all have cash going into office, most have a bunch of cash and a massive golden parachute coming out. Clinton seems to be one of the quickest to pass his expenses along though he may have the record for most profit first 7 years out?

  I don’t think President Bush will ever be left alone.

  How do you mean that, Charlie?

  Optmistic1: Actually, the wealthiest parts of Manhattan are the upper east and west sides.

  “I have a feeling we would have been better off in many instances honestly if Laura was behind the wheel, just me.”

  Optimistic 1,
  considering her driving record, I would doubt it.

  Pat: Midtown was Clinton’s first choice. Surprisingly, even he didn’t have the audacity to charge an Uptown Manhattan Office to the tune of 1.5m per year to us. An average apartment in Harlem will set one back $895k in 2008 per my reading, so his symbolic gesture was nice, but he isn’t exactly slumming at the Harlem Office, and is a huge spender when compared to the typical POTUS historically. Shouldn’t every past president have an 8,300 square foot office in THE most wealthy county in the US on our dime?

  Optimistic - I think Reagan will get credit for the quickest profit after leaving the White House. He got $2 million from the Japanese car manufactures almost immediately.

  Hokumboy - Did Laura have more DUIs than George?

• 10. Optimistic1  |  July 23rd, 2008 at 2:24 pm

  Hokum: At least she wasn’t drunk and didn’t run/cover up.

  Knauss: NOT true, Clintons were getting paid much more than that WHILE IN OFFICE in Chinese Yuan.

  Optimisitc: “Clintons were getting paid much more than that WHILE IN OFFICE in Chinese Yuan.”

  Really? What’s your source for this information?

• 12. Q Jordon  |  July 23rd, 2008 at 6:21 pm

  What are the odds that you literally run into a person that you happened to like and kill them out on a country road?

  And it was after a party with some high school friends. I am sure she wasn’t drinking or anything of the nature. But she was speeding, which out on a country road, we all might have done.

  The thing that was never truly covered in most accounts was her relationship with the boy. She had liked him very much. Sounds like a stalker to me — or perhaps, I will be accused of creating an urban legend, even though other accounts tell of this.

  Craig: No source, the Clintons didn’t leave a paper trail, just a trail of dead people. Are you really asking me to believe Clinton grew a conscience on taking money directly from the Chinese when he didn’t have a problem taking campaign donations illegally for the DNC and selling secrets he should not have to the Chinese? Johnny Huang, Norman Hsu, Charlie Trie, shall I go on? Bill Clinton loves Dirty Asian money and is a proven liar. Honestly, are you asking me to believe they would never profit directly from the people they were in bed with because they took the moral high ground? If you had to put money on the table, what would you bet with the facts and convictions surrounding this topic?

  Q- Do I understand you correctly here? You are saying that at 17, Laura Bush INTENTIONALLY ran a stop sign at 60mph at a dangerous intersection to kill a boy she had a crush on? Whether dating him or hating him, is there motive to T-Bone him and kill him? I know “W” has been accused of being a murderer, just hadn’t caught the rumors about Laura also being.

• 14. Pat Cunningham  |  July 24th, 2008 at 10:27 am

  Optimistic1: What’s this garbage about the Clinton’s leaving “a trail of dead people”? That sounds like some of the crap Jerry Falwell used to peddle to the terminally gullible. If you’re accusing the Clintons (or anybody else) of murder without a shred of evidence from actual prosecutors, you’re not going to last long on this site. Got it? Perhaps you’d feel more at home over at freerepublic.com. There are lots of weird people over there.

  Pat: Come out of “Retired Bouncer” Mode for a moment. I accused nobody of murder. Vince Foster and James Mcdougal were the main characters I was thinking of. Murdered, I don’t believe so. Pretty coincidental they both had Clinton Goods and died? Maybe not in retrospect as the Clinton’s apparently are comfortable hanging with a corrupt crowd. Chill out, one has to admit there are many deaths surrounding these people. If you want to ignore the facts surrounding the Clintons, I understand, and I would too if I were you. My point was the Asian Money and I hear no argument on that point. If Bush had mysterious deaths around him, any chance that would have come to light, of course, and not just on your Huffington Post.

  Doesn’t Q in the post above me call Laura Bush a “Stalker” and insinuate she may have murdered soemone? Don’t remember seeing that from any prosecutor, is Q also in trouble with the “Applesauce Heavy” or does that fit your agenda so non-issue? Take a nap, you’re grumpy because you got smacked down calling the Mars Folk’s “Gay Bashers” yesterday which apparently is just fine with no crime for a prosecutor to look into. I am entitled to my opinion, just as you are.

  Optimistic says, “If you want to ignore the facts surrounding the Clintons…” What facts? All I see is a bunch of cheap innuendo. The kind of crap that people like Rush Limbaugh spew on talk radio. And what’s this bull about a trail of dead people? What dead people? And selling secrets to the Chinese? What secrets? And if they were truly “secret”, how would you know he did this?

  Clinton’s lies didn’t kill anyone. Dubya’s lies have killed more than 3000 American service people. And why don’t you mention the thousands of U.S. jobs that Dubya has allowed to be shipped to the Far East? Or the chunk or our national debt he has sold to the Chinese? And if you want to talk about dishonesty, why not mention the $2 billion bailout that Dubya’s brother Neal saddled the taxpayers with when their daddy was president?

  Clinton certainly wasn’t perfect. But he left this country in a lot better shape than he received it. And in far better shape than George W. Bush will leave behind. And I don’t care if you can deal with the truth or not.
