Hellary, just like Bubba - is totally generous with OPM (Other People's Money) in her travels. As a matter of fact, her generousity when she is traveling at the taxpayers expense - and granting gifts from the same account -- know no bounds. What a gal!!

Clinton Announces Million-Dollar Scholarship Program for Palestinian Students
Ramallah, West Bank —
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has announced a new million-dollar scholarship program to help Palestinian students enroll at Palestinian and American universities.
Mrs. Clinton announced the Middle East Partnership Initiative during a visit to this Palestinian town last week. The four-year program will support about 10 scholarships each year for disadvantaged students to attend four-year courses at Palestinian universities. The program will also offer 25 “opportunity grants” to enable promising but disadvantaged young Palestinians to apply to American-accredited institutions in the United States or the Middle East, a State Department official told The Chronicle.
Once funds are approved by Congress, Mrs. Clinton hopes to begin the program in the 2010-11 academic year. The money is in addition to $900-million in aid to the Palestinian Authority announced by the secretary last week at the donors’ conference, in Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt. [....]
And this is the wife of the former governor of Arkansas who used to take an income tax deduction of $2 for every pair of old undershorts he donated to charity? Any bets on whether she pulled out her checkbook with her $10 million book deal in there? Don't bet on it!
