BUBBA GETS RICHER AND RICHER...

I told y'all that my choice for First Lady, Bill Clinton, knows how to turn a turd into a turnip. This old boy just keeps getting richer and richer. He's closing in on being my hero right behind Ross Perot and that other Bill (you know, the Microsoft fellow). These fellows know how to make a dollar from a dookie for sure.

The Wall Street Journal (I think they're up in New York City) has a story about how Bubba might get $20,000,000.00 just for quitting a job. Now, I've seen a good deal or two in my life, but this one is way up there on the pole.

You can see the whole article here

Just a piece of the article:

"Former President Clinton stands to reap around $20 million -- and will sever a politically sensitive partnership tie to Dubai -- by ending his high-profile business relationship with the investment firm of billionaire friend Ron Burkle.

Mr. Clinton is negotiating to end his relationship with Mr. Burkle's Yucaipa Cos. as part of a broader effort to protect the presidential campaign of his wife, Sen. Hillary Clinton, from potential conflicts of interest. Details of Mr. Clinton's involvement in Yucaipa and his efforts to unwind it come from documents and interviews with people familiar with the matter."

Now see, this is what I love about Bill. He is a true capitalist. This old boy has learned how to make money big time. The article talks about how many millions of dollars Bill has made since he quit being President. I'll give the boy grace there...he earned all those dollars by talking, and traveling, and writing books and all.

But man, when you can make those kind of coins by quitting a job!!! Heck, the last job I quit the boss-man docked me 37 cents to mail me my last paycheck. Bubba is shrewd. I've been thinking about getting me a job owning Arab companies. After two or three years you can just quit, and hit the beach. That might even be better than hitting the lottery...I'm gonna study on that awhile.
