I've never been a fan of Bill Clinton, but it would make a hell of a lot more sense to have a former POTUS/Commander-in-Chief (draft dodger or not) in the pace car, than a guy who claimed to be a "star athlete", but then all of a sudden got himself declared the equivalent of a 4F when it came time to serve... and then lied his butt off about the how's, what's and when's of the situation.

If they wanted to let him drive the pace car around Long Beach, Baltimore or where ever, then so be it. I really wouldn't have an issue with that. I just don't think it's proper, right or respectful to veterans to have a guy, who lied about how his rich daddy helped him weasel out of military service ("star athlete" to 4F in the course of a couple of years... really???), drive the pace car at the Indy 500 on Memorial Day.
Nice spin job though. The last time I saw one that obvious was when my former company escorted the VP of Operations out the door (complete with a security guard escort), and later that day issued a press release that he had "resigned to pursue other opportunities, effective immediately."
Donald, YOU'RE FIRED! Good on IMS.
