WHEN YOU HATE THE CLINTONS ENOUGH TO MUFF THE STORY:
Geffen's beef with Clintons is former president's decisions on pardons (ROBERT NOVAK, 2/25/07, Sun-Times)
Democratic sources believe that the harsh response by Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential campaign to criticism by Hollywood producer David Geffen stems from an overreaction by Bill Clinton to any attack on his pardon policy as president.Geffen sniped at the Clintons in his interview with New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd because President Clinton had pardoned financial contributor Marc Rich instead of American Indian activist Leonard Peltier.
Activist? Okay, now imagine what Mr. Novak would have written had the Clintons pardoned the domestic terrorist.... Posted by Orrin Judd at February 25, 2007 9:38 AM

Didn't Clinton pardon some Puerto Rican terrorists?

Did you know that Scooter Libby represented Rich during a criminal investigation where the DA's team included one Patrick Fitzgerald?
