Bill Clinton to Address News Corp. Retreat (Rupert Murdoch)

[Robbien]

Bill Clinton has accepted an invitation from Rupert Murdoch to address News Corporation executives this August at a corporate retreat in Pebble Beach.

A News Corp. spokesperson confirmed that Murdoch had invited Clinton and globe-trotting New York Times op-ed columnist Thomas Friedman to speak at the event, which will be held at the Pebble Beach Golf Club. Friedman declined due to a scheduling conflict, according to the columnist's assistant and the News Corp. spokesperson. But Clinton was available and willing.

"We have a good relationship with the former President," the spokesperson said

3. That is so odd.

News Corp. owns the NY Post and Fox. The NY Post hated him, and still hates Hillary. We all know how Fox treats the Clintons.

So why the hell would they be inviting Bill Clinton to speak to their executives?

4. Funny since they spent years

waging non-stop war against him and Hillary.

Hard to respect Bill when he gives these assholes credibility by speaking to them.

5. As Mr. Colbert can attest,

You can really get up in their grilles when you're actually in the room....

The Big Dog knows this, indeed.
