Former Prostitute in Chief. Clinton Cashing in on Presidency
And now, just in time for Christmas shopping.
It's the " Bill Clinton Collection, Selections From the Clinton Music Room" CD, with the former president's apparently favorite tunes, 11 of them, for only $15.95.
The CD, said to be the "first in a series" -- we're told of four -- "of collectible CDs" is tilted heavily to jazz, with Miles Davis ("My Funny Valentine"), John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman ("My One and Only Love"), Zoot Sims ("Summertime") and the incomparable Russian alto sax man Igor Butman ("Nostalgie") who plays at Le Club in Moscow.
Vocals include "Chelsea Morning," by Judy Collins , "Take My Hand, Precious Lord," by Mahalia Jackson and "I Wish I Knew (How It Would Feel to Be Free)" by Nina Simone . Proceeds go to the Clinton Foundation.
Don't be fooled by the fine art on the cover by artist Jay Wolf Schlossberg-Cohen that has Clinton, in shades, playing the sax. The 42nd president is not playing on any of the selections. The CD is for sale at http://clintonmuseumstore.com/ .
And no, we know what you're thinking, but there will be no Loop contest about tunes that should have been included but weren't, such as Marvin Gaye 's "Let's Get It On" or "Sexual Healing," or Mitch Ryder 's "Devil With a Blue Dress On." Certain standards need to be upheld.
This is so low class that even a long time Clinton basher like me is having a hard time believing it. The Clinton's used to call Bill's women accusers "trailer trash." What could be trashier than a former President of the United States cashing in on his resultant celebrity. The Clinton's are the epitome of money grubbing, nouveau riche, "trailer trash." The man truly has no shame. Color me disgusted...again.

I find it interesting that after almost six years since President Clinton was in office, you still seem to be facinated by this man. When will you, this current administration, and others like you, take responsibility for what is happening in this country today, now, at this moment. "Moses is dead," get on with the business at hand. I for one am really tired of hearing about what the previous administration did or didn't do, isn't it about time to step up to the plate and deal with ending the unjust war in Iraq, the constant scandals of the current administration and others associated with it, take care of the needy in this country, and let sleeping dogs sleep? I also find it interesting that you are willing to accept what Tom Delay may have done as no consequence, and that he is just a target of a witch hunt. When will it end? Where is the restoration of morality we were promised? I am still waiting for it!
