We learned through Tonya Harding the incredible marketability of all this tabloid stuff. You're a good man, Jim. I love you. However, are you aware that six news organizations, including the Associated Press, have joined with the American Association of Physicians and Surgeons in an amicus brief because they have new evidence of Whitewater-type shenanigans in the Health Care Task Force? I love you, Jim. That's right, Mr. Speaker, today, the American Association of Physicians and Surgeons filed a brief in DC's District Court, further expanding on their lawsuit against Hillary Clinton and the Health Care Task Force. The brief contains new revelations that show rose-colored, Clintonian ethics were not confined to Little Rock or real estate deals in the Ozarks, but also ruled the White House's Health Care Task Force. It alleges that the President and First Lady violated conflict-of-interest laws; alleges various high administration officials with extensive double-dipping, including new allegations that hundreds-of-thousands of dollars were funneled to Jocelyn Elders; and reveals the previously undisclosed names of task force members allegedly involved in influence-peddling and conflicts-of-interest.
