More ties between Arabs, Saudis and ...

Someone notify jelly belly, I mean Michael Moore, there's a hot new connection and web of ties between Saudis and Arabs and some highly placed U.S. government types. Ooops, make that formerly highly placed U.S. government types (though I suppose the spousal unit might be considered a highly placed U.S. government type).

Link follows: Saudis, Arabs Funneled Millions to President Clinton's Library
BY JOSH GERSTEIN - Staff Reporter of the Sun
November 22, 2004
LITTLE ROCK, ARK. - President Clinton's new $165 million library here was funded in part by gifts of $1 million or more each from the Saudi royal family and three Saudi businessmen.
The governments of Dubai, Kuwait, and Qatar and the deputy prime minister of Lebanon all also appear to have donated $1 million or more for the archive and museum that opened last week.
Democrats spent much of the presidential campaign this year accusing President Bush of improperly close ties to Saudi Arabia. The case was made in Michael Moore's film "Fahrenheit 9/11," in a bestselling book by Craig Unger titled "House of Bush, House of Saud," and by the Democratic presidential candidate, Senator Kerry."This administration delayed pressuring the Saudis," Mr. Kerry said on October 20. "I will insist that the Saudis crack down on charities that funnel funds to terrorists... and on anti-American and anti-Israel hate speech."The Media Fund, a Democratic group whose president is a former Clinton White House aide, Harold Ickes, spent millions airing television commercials in swing states with scripts such as, "The Saudi royal family...wealthy...powerful...corrupt. And close Bush family friends."
Perhaps as a result, the Saudi donations to the Clinton library are raising some eyebrows. Mr. Unger said he suspects that the Saudi support may have something to do with a possible presidential bid by Senator Clinton in 2008.


Emphasis added (mine).

I especially love the last bit there about "may have something to do with a possible presidential bid by Senator Clinton"...

I sincerely hope to see "Dude, Where's My Country?" boy out with his cameras tracking down the story on this one, but I really suspect it ain't gonna happen.

I guess in the meantime I can comfort myself in my copy of "Michael Moore is a big fat stupid white man", but then again it's not like the lemmings that paid a fortune (though liberals would call it a small fortune and would figure out some way to protect it from being taxed even while screaming about getting more money from the top 2% of all income earners) to see F9-11 will actually be interested in having their favorite ex-President investigated by their favorite documentarian.

The funny thing is, Clinton is not LIberal!  Oh sure, his wife is a screaming liberal, but he is not (and even she is moving to the center in preperation for 2008).

In fact, if you go back 50 years, you can see that there never was a liberal elected.  Carter?  He ran and governed (not very well) as a Conservative.  Johnson?  He is what hte left deridingly calls a Dixiecrat.  Kennedy?  He was more conservatice than any president except Reagan and W. (Remember Tax cuts?).  truman?  He was also a conservative.  So maybe FDR. 60 years to find someone who was a liberal.  That means most of the people alive today have never seen a liberal President.

I agree, I dont see Mikey moore doing anything with this.  When the only thing you have is that SPOS as a hero, you are bereft of values.
