The rule of the Clinton White House internship: whether you interned for Bill or for Hill, you got screwed:
A relative of mine worked as an unpaid intern in the Clinton White House writing Hillary Clinton’s daily briefing. After a year of that, she asked Hillary’s chief of staff, Evelyn Lieberman, “I feel guilty living off my parents. You have me doing important work for a year now. Could you see your way clear to paying me?” Evelyn responded, “Don’t you realize how lucky you are to have an internship in the White House?!” My relative, incensed at the hypocrisy of Hillary, who gives speeches on behalf of labor [but] wouldn’t even pay her, who had won her university’s outstanding student award, minimum wage. She quit.
Bill Clinton offered his support to Tiger Woods in a phone call with the embattled golf star, a spokesman for the former president confirms.
“President Clinton spoke with Tiger and wished him well,” Matt McKenna tells PEOPLE confirming a report in Golf Digest that the two had spoken.
It wasn’t clear when the former president spoke with Woods or how the phone call came about. But Clinton, who has navigated his own infidelity scandals, offered words of encouragement to the golfer, who is reportedly in an Arizona rehab facility for therapy.
Is any foreigh trip by an Obama administration figure an apology tour now? It almost looks like there is a rule saying that no opportunity to blame Big Bad America for something before a foreign audience can be missed, and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton delivered on Saturday during her visit to India:
“We acknowledge now with President Obama that we have made mistakes in the United States, and we along with other developed countries have contributed most significantly to the problem that we face with climate change,” she said. “We are hoping a great country like India will not make the same mistakes.”
She was referring to Obama’s statement in Italy earlier this month that the U.S. had “sometimes fallen short” of its responsibilities in controlling its carbon emissions.
She could have at least waited until she went to some other country to say that – a country whose “greenhouse gas” emissions are not predicted to rise by 50 per cent by 2030.
