When i had a look at Hilary for president the e-mail scandals were the most prominent scandal. But it wasn't the only one. I saw a list on the internet detailing a dozen at least. Going back twenty years.
White Water ? sex scandals? the foundation and money trails ? the email scandal seemed the least scandalous.
people were calling her Ma Clinton as a joke. a nod to her gangsta past.

Al Capone used to give out food to the soup kitchens in Chicago.

Al Capone’s intentions were an effort to clean up his image. “120 000 meals are served by Capone Free Soup Kitchen” the Chicago Tribune headlined on December 1931. Al Capone’s soup kitchen became one of the strangest sight Chicagoans had ever seen. An army of ragged, starving men assembled three times a day beside a storefront at 935 South State Street, feasting on the largesse of Al Capone. Toasting his health. Telling the newspapers that Capone was doing more for the poor than the entire U.S. government. He was even offering some of them jobs. Capone milked his good works for all the favorable publicity they were worth. He came down and walked among the men, the wretched of the earth, offering a handshake, a hearty smile, and words of encouragement from the great Al Capone.
