Just what HRC needs to shed her finance-fellating image.


Wonder Woman Isn`t Much Help In Bcci Scandal
August 04, 1991|By Michael Kilian, Chicago Tribune.

WASHINGTON — If you ever wondered what happened to Wonder Woman, a.k.a. Lynda Carter, the statuesque actress whose comic-bookesque ``Wonder Woman`` TV series ran from 1976 to 1979, well...she married (in 1984) hot-shot Washington lawyer Robert Altman, junior partner and protege of Clark Clifford, longtime lobbyist/lawyer, presidential confidant and former defense secretary...

Trouble is, husband Robert and his boss, Clifford, are finding themselves all over the newspapers these days as major players with the capital`s First American Bankshares Inc., a bank holding company that turns out to have been connected with the notorious Bank of Credit and Commerce International. With a client list that allegedly includes some of the world`s least savory terrorists and drug dealers, BCCI has not only won the sobriquet ``sleaziest bank in the world`` but also was hit with indictments in New York charging bribery and fraud.


Now, you can point out that the husband was acquitted, eventually. But, Clark Clifford was a major fixer in DC for fifty years. Even with all the strings Clifford could pull, it took Altman $10 M of legal fees to escape the law.

Is this really the kind of person who's endorsement is going to help HRC?

My advice:

Run, Hillary, Run - as far away from Wonder Woman as you can.
