German youths pay to treat impotent ostrich
By ASSOCIATED PRESS


Three German teenagers were spared paying hefty damages after a court said an ostrich farmer had failed to prove his claim that the youths' noisy firecrackers made one of his birds impotent.

The court in the eastern town of Bautzen on Monday ordered the three teenagers to pay only $188 in vet costs for the ostrich, Gustav.

ClitMan and ClitBITCH scandals NEVER EVER STOP

Bill, Hillary & InfoUSA






By Dick Morris & Eileen McGann
Sunday, June 3, 2007



Since he left office in 2001, former president Bill Clinton has been paid $3.3 million by infoUSA, an Omaha, Neb., company that has been identified as a key provider of specially designed databases that have been sold to criminals who use the detailed information to defraud the unsuspecting elderly.

The consulting fees to the former president were only part of the largess infoUSA showered on the former president.

Vinod Gupta, the CEO of infoUSA, lent the Clintons the company's jet, which took them to places like Switzerland, Hawaii, Jamaica and Mexico. The jet service was worth a staggering $900,000.



And Gupta gave the Clinton library a six-figure gift as well. Indeed, just months after he left the presidency, Bill Clinton was paid $200,000 for a speech given to infoUSA in Omaha.
InfoUSA is not the kind of company with which a former president and the husband of a presidential candidate should associate.

According to The New York Times, infoUSA compiled and sold lists that disclosed the names of elderly men and women who would be likely to respond to unscrupulous scams.

The lists left no doubt about the vulnerability of the elderly targets.

The Times reported, for example, that infoUSA advertised lists of "Elderly Opportunity Seekers," 3.3 million older people "looking for ways to make money," and "Suffering Seniors," 4.7 million people with cancer or Alzheimer's disease. "Oldies but Goodies" contained 500,000 gamblers over 55 years old, for 8.5 cents apiece.

One list said: "These people are gullible. They want to believe that their luck can change."

InfoUSA sold lists to companies that were under investigation or closed down by courts because of their criminal activity. The company's internal e-mails show that employees were aware that the investigation for elderly fraud involved their customers but sold the lists anyway.

The Times profiled one unfortunate man, 92, who entered a sweepstakes sponsored by infoUSA. The information that he innocently provided was then sold to the predator marketers. After responding to their telemarketing calls seeking financial information, his entire life savings was stolen from his bank account at Wachovia Bank.

These practices, using lists supplied by infoUSA, were repeated all over the country.

Last month, Hillary Clinton sought and obtained an extension of time to file her presidential candidate financial disclosure statement. Unlike the information required of senators, this filing requires her to list not just the sources of Bill's income but exactly how much they paid him.

While Sen. Clinton offered no reason for the postponement, one cannot help wondering if it involves a desire to conceal infoUSA's payments to her husband while the company is under fire.

The extent of the company's payments to Bill came out only as a result of a lawsuit by disgruntled stockholders against the company management.

The relationship between Bill Clinton and Vinod "Vin" Gupta, the CEO and chairman of infoUSA, is both long-standing and deep.

A frequent Clinton donor, he has stayed in the Lincoln Bedroom, admitted to donating $1 million to the Clinton Library and told the press that he'd consider an additional donation.

Again, since the Clintons refuse to disclose who donated money to the library, we don't know the total that he actually gave. In late 1999, Gupta gave $2 million for Hillary Clinton's Millennium New Year's Eve bash. (The party cost $16 million and was closed to the press.)

The links between Gupta and the Clintons are extensive:


Gupta raised more than $200,000 for Hillary's Senate campaigns and contributed thousands to the Democratic National Committee and the Democrats' House and Senate campaigns

InfoUSA was one of the sponsors of the Aspen Festival of Ideas last summer where Bill and Hillary Clinton both spoke

Gupta built the Bill Clinton Science & Technology Center and the Hillary Clinton Mass Communications Center in his hometown of Rampur, India

Bill and Gupta traveled to India together

Gupta reportedly paid for a golf outing for Bill at a legendary Scottish course

InfoUSA appointed Terry McAuliffe, the Clinton's longtime moneyman, to the board of directors of its subsidiary company, videoyellowpagesusa.com

Clinton appointed Gupta to the Kennedy Center board of trustees only a few days before he left office

Clinton also nominated Gupta as consul general of Bermuda and U.S. ambassador to Fiji but Gupta was never confirmed

Gupta's company co-sponsored the 2006 Clinton Global Initiative

Gupta sent a $7,000 treadmill to the Clintons' Chappaqua, N.Y., home days after the Clintons left the White House. After the New York Post disclosed the gift, the Clintons returned it.
Gupta's generosity to the Clintons is matched only by his generosity to himself. InfoUSA has lately been attacked by some of its shareholders, particularly by the Greenwich, Conn., company Cardinal Capital, which went after Conrad Black. Lord Black is now on trial in Chicago on allegations of corporate fraud.

Cardinal Capital objected to Gupta's purchase of a $600,000 skybox at the University of Nebraska, his family's charges of $13.5 million in private jet charges and $2.5 million for the long-term lease of a yacht -- all with corporate money.

In addition to his 2001 visit to the company's headquarters, Bill Clinton was back there to speak at a conference on privacy issues in September 2006. Sen. Clinton's disclosure statement for that period has not been publicly released, so we don't know how much he was paid.

This connection between the Clintons and infoUSA only underscores the necessity of full disclosure of income sources and amounts by all the presidential candidates and the release of their income tax returns -- a step Mrs. Clinton has, thus far, refused to take.
