Billary Clinton(s) released their tax returns today (April 4, Friday). Obama campaign (and rest of the country) has been asking Clintons to be a little less secretive so they were pressured to do it. In a very old-school-politics move, they released the tax returns on a Friday afternoon hoping that media will not give it as much coverage as it would on a weekday. Reason: Nobody follows news on weekends. By Monday it will be old news and not as big a scandal.
So, what is the scandal? Clintons made $109 millions in 7 years since Bill moved out of the white house. That is more than 15 million per year...the money mostly came from book deals and paid speeches but a major chunk came from Bills dealings with Ron Burkle...the nature of these dealings has not been revealed.
Moreover, Bill Clinton has not released list of donors for his presidential library. It is known that before leaving office, Bill issued some controversial pardons. It remains to be seen whether the pardons had anything to do with "donations" to his library. Maybe that'd be a story for another Friday.
2nd Story: U Me Aur Hum - The Ajay Devgan and Kajol movie
Did anyone notice how a month before release of this movie, how suddenly we are being fed crap (pictures of) about Ajay Devgan and Kajol playing Holi...celebrating birthday...going to a premier?
An obvious attempt to remind everyone that they are a good happy couple so we don't forget to watch them in the movie. I love Ajay Devgan and Kajol is not too bad either (a bit on the heavier side but far better than Kareena/Aish et al.) but the kind of publicity Devgan's publicist is going for is only ruining the freshness factor of the movie.
