Of course, no one is better at lying and fudging the truth than good ol' Bubba...that $10 million donation from Marc Rich's ex-wife to the Clinton Library/Massage Parlor/Adult Book Store in Arkansas had nothing whatsoever to do with Bubba's pardon of sleazeball Marc Rich. ;) Nope, none in the whatsoever... :noway:

White House: Clinton shameless in Libby comments
Tony Snow says Clinton shows "chutzpah" in criticizing Libby commutation
"You've got to understand, this is consistent with (Bush administration) philosophy," Clinton said during an interview on Des Moines news-talk station WHO.
Bush administration officials, he said, "believe that they should be able to do what they want to do, and that the law is a minor obstacle." Watch Bill Clinton sound off on Bush's decision »
In an op-ed piece in USA Today on Wednesday, Snow defended Bush's action, charging that Clinton was "in a mad rush to push through pardons with dizzying haste -- 141 grants on Clinton's final day in office, part of 211 in the final nine weeks."
Clinton's flurry of last-minute pardons issued as he left office in 2001 -- particularly his absolution of fugitive financier Marc Rich -- sparked largely partisan outrage. Critics alleged that the pardon of Rich was linked to contributions raised for Clinton's presidential library by Rich's ex-wife.
Libby's defenders have pointed to Democratic support for Clinton during that period to accuse critics of Bush's commutation order of hypocrisy.
Asked by a reporter if he was asserting that "two wrongs make a right," Snow said: "Do we feel we've done wrong? Do we feel we cut corners? The answer is no."
