    The Clinton administration is officially over in Washington as the Redskins confirmed the release of RB Clinton Portis on Monday, a move the nine-year veteran had anticipated after coach Mike Shanahan telegraphed it at the scouting combine."Clinton provided excitement from the very first time he touched the ball as a Redskin and we were lucky to witness every ounce of energy, effort and passion he has given ever since," owner Dan Snyder said in a statement. "We have been through a lot both on and off of the field and we would like to wish him and his family the very best. He will always be a Redskin and go down as one of the franchise's all-time greats."
