...there no place where sex remains safe from lawyers? No sooner had the pseudo salaciously titled Sex with CINDY CRAWFORD aired on ABC last week than news came of a breach-of-contract lawsuit filed against Crawford by London-based producer Peter Stuart.

By signing the waiver, Clinton would be handing his donor's company what amounted to a get-out-of-jail-free card. Was that an argument for or against the waiver? In Clinton's world, it's hard to tell...
