Betsey Wright is in the news. She was Gov. Bill Clinton's chief of staff while he was governor of Arkansas. She was well known for being in charge of "bimbo eruptions" (her term). She also worked in Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign.
On Wednesday she was charged with trying to smuggle a knife and 48 tattoo needles stashed in a bag of Doritos into Arkansas' death row. She claimed she found them at the bottom of a vending machine. According to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette this morning, her attorney accused the Arkansas Department of Corrections of singling her out because of her support for prisoner rights. A spokesman for the department said this was "ridiculous." She will report to the Lincoln County jail next week.
