The Chinese clothing company Fapai has renewed for a third time its offer to pay Bill Clinton $2 million to be the company's "image ambassador" - a deal, company executives say, that Sen. Hillary Clinton is interested in taking.
Just a month after the Clintons left the White House, Fapai representatives wrote to Sen. Clinton to repeat the offer, first floated in May 2000.
As NewsMax.com reported at the time, the initial proposal had been dismissed as premature, primarily because Mr. Clinton was still a sitting president.
In February 2001, however, Beijing's "Youth Daily" newspaper quoted a Fapai executive as saying, "Mrs. Clinton thanked us on her own and her husband's behalf for the offer and expressed readiness to discuss it face to face with the company director."
In an interview with the Associated Press this week, a Fapai executive made it clear that the modeling offer still stands. Citing the ex-president's "worldwide charisma," company spokesman Wang Zhen explained, "Our suits match Clinton's character and personality."
Though Mr. Clinton just happens to be traveling in China this week, a spokesman said he had no knowledge of any deal with the company. He wasn't asked about Sen. Clinton's earlier comments expressing a willingness to meet with Fapai executives.
