Awesome!

Getting a blow job and abusing the power of the presidency to get a blow job from a white house intern are two very different things. Still not worth 40 million.

[RondackParx]

Priceless!!!

I'm not a mathemagician, but isn't $40m actually 5 times $8m?

[Razberry]

@n3wtz I'm a certified mathemagician, and you're right! Nice catch.

It is hard to believe that Hillary ever blew Bill.

[S. Gompers]

That is because Republicans would rather blow money investigating blowjobs than investigating campaign contributors.

[Darekun]

40M is 5 times /as much as/ 8M, but it's 4 times /more than/ 8M.

[Henry]

Well duh! They didn't have the money to spend on looking into the financial crises any more! We are in a recession remember?!! ;)

Hey, the #'s dont lye. & It is hard to believe that Hillary ever blew Bill. Im sure she neaver gave Billy Boy that pleasure...........

And the only way it took 40 million was when Hillery said she would get to the bottom of the Rep. trying to smear her husband. No matter how much it cost. HE Neaver did it and I will prove it, "Yea Right"......! Just more waste of tax payers money ?

Since the Clinton-Lewinski scandal, I stopped watching TV network news because the coverage of a story often has little relevance to the actual importance.

Naturally they spent 40M$ on the Clinton/Lewinsky story, because it provided what we need as badly as a good hamburger. The nation is so dumbed down that most of them couldn't even tell you where we are stationed, militarilly around the world. We don't realise how much a trillion is. There should be a national pilgrimage to clog the streets of lower Manhattan, like the Egyptians, to demand justice for the perps of 911. How come the firefighters aren't at the forefront after they were knowingly compromised and incinerated...........

United States renews tactics to protect U.S. dollar's status: economist warns

http://news.xinhuanet.com/english2010/indepth/2011-03/30/c_13805064.htm

BEIJING, March 30 (Xinhua) -- A Chinese economist has warned that the U.S. government may resort to "new-type financial war" or even accelerating international tensions to transfer its domestic crisis and secure dollar's monopoly status.

The U.S. still faces a lukewarm economic recovery, with hefty toxic financial assets and a high jobless rate. "That may drive the U.S. to take some special means to shift its domestic crisis," said Yang Bin, an economist with the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, in an exclusive interview with Xinhua on Tuesday.
