Exactly right, except the Clinton's caught no flak from anyone except those comparing his earnings against the way Reagan and Gringrich were vilified by the liberal press. Remember the "outrage" by the Democrats and the liberal media for his fee for speaking in Japan? Remember the outrage when Newt Gingrinch released a book while Speaker?
Democrats and the Liberal media professed all kinds of outrage at these examples, but were silent or sometimes even fawning with pleasure when either of the Clintons did the same exact thing.
