The Associated Press reports that Bill and Hillary Clinton made $109.2 million in the years since they left the White House. According to Drudge Report, Bill was the big winner. Details include:

They paid $33.7 million in Federal taxes and gave $10.2 million to charity. I would not be surprised if Clintons have had the most successful post White House cash-in of any presidential couple. No wonder she wants to get back there again. Think of how much more she could make after being president!

DrudgeReport reports that News Corp.'s (NYSE: NWS) FoxNews will be launching Fox Business Network (FBN) on October 15, 2007.

Is this true? If so, what impact will it have on General Electric Co.'s (NYSE: GE) CNBC? I can see that CNBC is already calling itself America's Business Channel in anticipation of FBN's anticipated right-wing cheerleading bias.

I am looking forward to the competition. And as a guest of CNBC, I wonder whether it will open up new opportunities or whether FBN will want its own guests who are willing to follow the party line.

Update: MultiChannelNews provides the additional bit of detail that FBN will be headed by Neil Cavuto. Having been interviewed by him, I would not be surprised if FBN turned out to be a bit of a propaganda channel.
