Although the combing-through process is far from complete, it looks very much as if the release of the list of donors to Bill Clinton's foundation is every bit as anticlimactic as we suspected it would be, and that it won't seriously impede Hillary Clinton's appointment as secretary of state.

As Politico pointed out this morning, the AP had the first look and ended up leading with the already much-discussed donations from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which sources close to Bill Clinton had long talked about as the "embarrassing" name that would come out.

There are also other names the Clintons would rather be done talking about, like Denise Rich, and people who have interesting personal lives, like this guy, but nothing that constitutes a surprise.
