...Clinton's former Commerce Secretary denounces him and Morgan Stanley apologizes to its clients for paying him to speak, Clinton isn't the only one being damaged. His wife's Senate debut has been spoiled by the calls that are flooding her makeshift work space in the basement of the Dirksen Senate Office Building. Hillary last week went to three Brooklyn churches to talk about racial profiling--and ended up answering questions about whether she had properly reported the glittery handbags she'd received...

And finally, Bill Clinton spoke out yesterday about how he is being unfairly persecuted...
...What we can be sure of is the incredible outcry against Clinton's last official presidential act. Republican pundits point to the pardons as yet another example of Clinton abusing presidential power for personal gain. Justice Department officials were "shocked and flabbergasted." Morgan Stanley, who paid Clinton $100,000 to speak at a convention in Florida in his first non-official appearance since the pardons, got so many complaints that they issued an official apology to their employees and clients...
