wasn’t he?? Ugh, now his a big man on faux noise. He’s a puke.

Ok, found out who I was talking about was William Bennett......

In May 1986, Bennett switched from the Democratic to the Republican Party.[5] In September 1988, Bennett resigned as Secretary of Education, to join the Washington law firm of Dunnels, Duvall, Bennett, and Porter. In March 1989 he returned to the federal government, becoming the first Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, appointed by President George H. W. Bush. He was confirmed by the Senate in a 97–2 vote. He left that position in December 1990.

2. He was a Reaganite, didn't work for Clinton,

and has always been a little to the right of Darth Vader. He was and is awful.

14. For your wife...

The Washington Monthly said on its Web site that ''over the last decade Bennett has made dozens of trips to casinos in Atlantic City and Las Vegas, where he is a 'preferred customer' at several of them, and sources and documents provided to The Washington Monthly put his total losses at more than $8 million.''

15. Geez, I HATE spell check. I wrote Wiki.

16. Lololol

[Demovictory9]

13. Yeah..the big gambler who.wrote morality books for kids

[niyad]

11. Don't forget that this hypocritical asshole was a member of PNAC (Project for a NEw American

Century), and published a book on virtue while he lost millions gambling in Vegas. All around scumbag.

[tenderfoot]

17. He's why education in the US is such a joke

as pointed out by others, he worked for Ronald Reagan and published a sanctimonious book called 'The Death of Outrage' during the Lewinsky scandal.

Now you know what happened.

18. If you look at his bio, he has held many positions, many of them quite briefly. Still boggles

the mind that he was ever in charge of humanities curricula.

19. Bill Bennett was a loathsome liar during the Clinton years.

As well as before and after the Clinton years. But he was especially bad back in the 1990s.
