Bill to name donors in Hillary cabinet post deal

The president-elect has asked Bill Clinton to do what he himself has refused to do -- disclose publicly the names of donors.

Former President Bill Clinton has agreed to disclose publicly the names of more than 200,000 donors to his foundation as part of an accord with President-elect Barack Hussein Obama that clears the way for Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton to become secretary of state.

Mr. Clinton has kept his contributor list secret, as permitted under federal law, but he decided to publish it to avoid any appearance of conflict of interest with Mrs. Clinton’s duties as the nation’s top diplomat.

Is it possible for Hillary to receive Senate confirmation as Secretary of State after Bill has been travelling the world soliciting multimillion-dollar contributions for his foundation and collecting six-figure speaking fees for himself from foreign organizations and individuals?

The answer is yes -- with a solid majority in the Senate, they can do most anything they choose.

As for Bill’s list of contributors -- will Marc Rich be high on the list? Will Bill need help spelling all of those Chinese names? How about the long list of Arab donors?

He could do what ACORN did when they registered voters -- use names like Donald Duck, Daddy Warbucks and Dick Tracy.
