The 300,000 she earned in a no-show job at NBC? She's the top full-timer at a huge influence-peddling scam that she calls a "charity" but only spends 15 percent of its assets on anything like funding worthy causes. <br /><br />No, Bill and Hill aren't full-timers, except as front/bagmen. <br /><br />She's put herself out there as a partisan spokesperson for her mother. <br /><br />It doesn't surprise me if she's a raging bitch. Where would she have learned anything different? Bill at least had some interpersonal skills, but was known for his pink mist rages at staffers. And Hillary? Known far and wide to be toxic. <br /><br />Both sociopaths. <br /><br />Those are her parents and role models.

"...Scroll down for the Bush/Clinton doozies:<br /><br /><br />"Bill Clinton has been a CIA asset since he was an informer for them on his anti-war buddies at Oxford in 1968.<br />George Herbert Walker Bush, who helped to organize the Bay of Pigs invasion, has been CIA since at least the early 1960’s, probably the mid 1950’s. The building at CIA HQ is in fact named after GHW Bush. (Sidenote: Poppy Bush is on the record saying he can’t rememeber where he was when JFK was murdered in Dallas - in fact US Senate candidate Bush was staying in the Dallas Sheraton on 11/21/63).<br /><br />CIA Cord Meyer told GOP insider Jack Wheeler, "We recruited Bill [Clinton] the first week he was at Oxford. Bill's been an asset of the Three Bad Words ever since."<br /><br />The Clintons, the Bushes, Oliver North and the CIA were all heavily involved in the CIA drug trade of Iran-Contra. Supposedly it was to help the Nicaraguan contras, but you can bet they were skimming tens of millions off the top."<br /><br />Sex, drugs, power, murder<br /><br />Here's the eye opening article:<br /><br />Chelsea Clinton is the biological daughter of Webb Hubbell, NOT Bill Clinton <br />1984arkansasmotheroftheyear.bl... 2012/ 02/ chelsea-clinton-is-biological-daughter.htmldaddy warbuckshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11501858544772781763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-16451706036251569782015-05-19T14:45:45.754-05:002015-05-19T14:45:45.754-05:00I left my last job because of a very unpleasant pe...I left my last job because of a very unpleasant person.
