Bill, Hil no shipmates
He advises Dubai as she fights deal


WASHINGTON - Sen. Hillary Clinton didn't know her husband was giving Dubai advice on the port deal she's fighting, and Bill Clinton says he didn't even get paid for it.
"These guys called him, and he took a phone call from them, and he told them he did not know the details of this specific proposal," said Bill Clinton's spokesman, Jay Carson.

The former President was traveling in Pakistan when he got the call two weeks ago, sources said, and Hillary didn't talk to him about it.

New York's junior senator was floating legislation at the time to stop Dubai Ports World from taking control of six major ports in the U.S. - including Manhattan's cruise ship terminal and Newark's container port - and demanding that the company undergo a tougher security probe.

Carson said the former President was not paid for consulting with Dubai. "He does not have clients, nor is he an adviser for Dubai Ports World," he said.
