Bob Herbert: Clintons have no shame

From http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/10/opinion/10herbert.html

"The Clintons have never understood how to exit the stage gracefully.
Their repertoire has always been deficient in grace and class."

....

"The last time the Clintons had to make a big exit was at the end of 
Bill Clinton¹s second term as president ‹ and they made a complete and 
utter hash of that historic moment."

....

"Instead, a huge scandal erupted when it became known that Mrs. 
Clinton¹s brothers, Tony and Hugh Rodham, had lobbied the president on 
behalf of criminals who then received presidential pardons or a sentence 
commutation from Mr. Clinton."

....

"It wasn¹t just the pardons that sullied the Clintons¹ exit from the 
White House. They took furniture and rugs from the White House 
collection that had to be returned. And they received $86,000 in gifts 
during the president¹s last year in office, including clothing (a 
pantsuit, a leather jacket), flatware, carpeting, and so on. In response 
to the outcry over that, they decided to repay the value of the gifts.

So class is not a Clinton forte."

....

"The Clintons should be ashamed of themselves. But they long ago proved 
to the world that they have no shame."
