It's that time of year again, Mr. President.
Time to celebrate the lingering Yuletide spirit and the bright promise of the year to come. Time to savor the companionship of friends and family.
Time to donate your underpants to a charitable organization so you can later claim a deduction on your 1993 tax return.
If the recent past is any guide, Bill Clinton and his wife, First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, have been spending the past few months gathering up unwanted belongings -- from old shoes to shower curtains to jogging shorts to, yes, apparently used underwear -- carefully enumerating each item alongside dollar amounts on handwritten lists, and giving the lot to such worthy causes as the Salvation Army and Goodwill Industries.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since the NY Slimes (a campaign arm of HRC for president) wants to talk about tax returns from the 1990s, some of us older folk might remember the comical ways that the Clintons tried to avoid "paying their fair share" of taxes - to quote the Crooked One today.
Tax returns from the day showed that the Clintons deducted their used underwear, mildewed shower curtains and jogging shorts to Goodwill and the Salvation Army and carefully logged each and every item.
So how much is somebody's "used underwear" actually worth to these charities: From the article:
"We don't get too much underwear here; I don't think people want that too much," said Joe Cheslow, a senior resident at the Union Rescue Mission, a haven for homeless people in Little Rock, Ark., that has been a frequent beneficiary of the Clintons' tax-deductible largess. The mission thrift shop has been known to sell used underwear, displayed in bins, at 95 cents a pair.
It should be noted that the Clintons deducted $2.00 for each pair of used underwear and up to $15 for their used "long underwear." Also on the list are used socks, a used Garbadine pants suit with "ripped pants", used shower curtains and even some used clothes from Chelsea - then still a child.
You can't make this shit up!
And BRINGING BACK another OLDIE BUT GOODIE...are you old enough to remember????
How many times have they used this PLOY??????
