Italian Hsu
How the Clinton’s sold their soles:
For the past six years, the road to Bill Clinton has often run through Douglas Band, a 34-year-old former White House intern who has helped manage Mr. Clinton’s time, accompanied him around the world and even fielded some of his calls.
Two years ago, Mr. Band befriended a handsome and charming Italian businessman named Raffaello Follieri. The young Italian, now 29 years old, had moved to New York in 2003 to launch a business buying and redeveloping Roman Catholic Church properties. He claimed close ties with Vatican officials that would smooth the way for deals, according to business associates and material issued by his company, Follieri Group LLC. He also said he could help Mr. Clinton’s wife, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, with Catholic voters during her presidential campaign, people in the Clinton camp recall.
…
These days, the Clinton camp’s relations with Mr. Follieri are in tatters.
First, he’s not all that handsome (and his girlfriend, Anne Hathaway, isn’t so hot either); second, is this the proverbial next Hsu to drop?
