In the end, it's all about Clinton. Maybe with his newfound free time Clinton can have a good, long sit-down with himself and see the price he's paid and why he inspires so much disgust. As for newly freed billionaire Rich, he would be well advised to hold off on his long-awaited dream to stroll down Fifth Avenue and "wave to his friends"; he should sit tight...
