I love Bill Clinton but his charm is probably what got him into hot water in the end.

I'm all for sending Madoff any where you can think of. Definitely.

Bill C. is a charmer, and I'm glad he got the journalists back home.

2009-08-08T10:09:15.592+10:00

Glad you like it Susan but will Obama - as someone rightly pointed out these Madoff types are so clever he would probably be leading Al Queda before we know it and have OBL on a leash...such a shame they are so twisted because gosh they could do some good if it was directed the right way.

2009-08-08T05:52:33.700+10:00

I LOVE Bill Clinton and I LOVE the way you think. That is truly genius. And I really mean that I like the idea.

The bald head looks like someone got in the way when a niece was trying to take a picture from the Empire State Building. That's my guess.

@ Sam - think about going to BlogHer next year - great networking for bloggers and you get to go to your drema destination....and meet all the rest of us..

Hmmmm...food for thought there Lilly! I love those photos of New York! My number one dream destination! Have a lovely weekend!

Very funny!

While on wacky ideas - wouldn't it be great if every city had unusual people as landmarks? Or tourist attractions?

2009-08-07T00:33:50.206+10:00

I was born in Brooklyn and grew up on Long Island. I live only two hours away from the greatest city on Earth. Lilly, you simply MUST come out next year! Oh, the fun we could have!!!

Bill Clinton was a rock star, is a rock star, and will always be a rock star. And, what's something all rock stars have? GROUPIES!

2009-08-06T21:58:06.741+10:00

"Bernie ... He is grandiose, exploitative, arrogant, charming, callous, immoral, superficial, deceitful, non emotional and manipulative. Just the qualities needed to become a special international troubleshooter in some far flung terrorist haven."

...and the more successful politicians are different in what way?

Great idea. Great post - how about Vlad The Impaler for UN Secretary? :)

i need to go back - it's been way too long since i was in the big apple - shocking seeing as i have 2 really good friends in Brooklyn - kids are probably old enough to take now too..... hmmm, new england in the fall just might beckon....

2009-08-06T17:48:21.250+10:00

LOL, LOL....No, I am not familiar with that "bald" person as being a Landmark of NYC----My Hometown! But I love that your little bieces took these very mysterious pictures of that great city.

As to Bill Clinton....He was the perfect person to handle the final arrangements of this delicate situation.....He WAS the President of our country and had and still has pretty good Foreign relations skills---much much better than Mr. Bush & Company who have alienated so very many with their lack of skills and their need for 'control' over everyone and everything for their own personal gains. Frankly, I believe someone like President Clinton will hopefully be used more in these Foreign reations situations.....He has natural gifts in the area of people skills and diplomacy, and he is very well liked in many quarters. At this point in time with all of the serious problems we have, The United States should use any and all good people at our disposal to try to accomplish putting out all the many fires created by the former administration.

And, in my opinion, Madoff should stay right where he is and has NO place in anything to do with diplomacy. I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw my house.

Hey Rhonda, It hink we should all go, what do you say? A year is a long time on one hadn to plan these things and who knows if we will all still be blogging by then but I am up for it I think!

2009-08-06T10:00:09.242+10:00

You know, that's not a bad idea - putting some misguided souls to work where they might actually do some good (or at least no worse!).

ROFL on the bald pate.

2009-08-06T06:04:01.479+10:00

I agree Bill Clinton has "it". As for Bernie, maybe we can send him hiking in Iran like the three captured Americans :-)

LOVE the pics of NYC! Your nieces really saw the sights!

And if YOU are going to BlogHer in NYC, I'd seriously think about going too!

It's funny Bill Clinton made you think of Bernie Madoff. Misguided, talented people.

2009-08-06T04:10:55.552+10:00

interesting chain of thought - Bill Clinton was put to good use. Some ex-presidents like Carter do better out of office. I don't expect anything from Dubya though. Maybe Bernie could start selling those GM cars, but some would rather see him under a GM bus.

2009-08-06T00:22:42.559+10:00

Have you ever seen the movie "Catch Me If You Can?" Leonardo diCaprio plays Frank Abagnale Jr. who was a conman that eventually worked for the CIA in exposing the cons of other wanted men! Great movie!

It makes me wonder how many more criminals are used in ways to expose or trap others, that we may never know about?

Isn't NYC the best?

2009-08-06T00:05:33.551+10:00

BRILLIANT idea...and it just might work....or Bernie would end up running some foreign country and causing more chaos. He is just slimey enough to survive and convince them he should be in charge. Loved the pictures of New York. I'll be there in a few weeks with my daughter...it's her first trip and I can't wait to show her the city. Minus the bald head hopefully.

I am just glad that it wasn't Jesse Jackson!! Living in Chicago we hear a lot about this man.

While I am not a Bill Clinton fan, I will admit that he was a decent president, it is him personally that I am unsure about. I can say that he did a great job getting these two people released. And I am glad that he is able to represent the US in such positive ways.
