U.S., World: Ex-prez Bill Clinton has a new gig in Haiti to keep him busy

  • He wants to focus attention on the island nation. Some former presidents would rather play golf or something and live out the final years of their life in ivory-tower-like presidential libraries. But not Bill Clinton. The former prez will be named UN special envoy to Haiti tomorrow. The nation has been struggling to recover from hurricanes last year and is the poorest country in the Americas. So, good on him, not sitting around while Hilary’s being all diplomatic as Secretary of State. source
