Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Wednesday, December 03, 2008

Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential campaign committee sent an e-mail to supporters Tuesday inviting them to congratulate the New York senator on her nomination as secretary of State -- and help pay off her remaining debt. The campaign had nearly $7.5 million in debts to consultants and vendors at the end of October.

I have a friend who works at the Fargo Dome, where they hold events of all sorts. He says venues like his hate hosting politicians because they never end up paying what they owe.

Hillary is the one who prolonged her campaign and loaned herself money. Now she wants her supporters to clear her debt. She and Bill are freaking millionaires.

She is such a hack.

C'mon, I think Bill could cover this out of the loose change in his humidor ....

Corky, belly up to the bar!

Just as a point of info - she has already written off the money she loaned herself. She's only talking about money owed to others now.

Dear kind supporters,

I know you're having a hard time choosing between medicine for your children or putting food on the table. Why do either when you can donate money to my failed presidential campaign to help clear my debt?

I know Bill has earned millions of dollars by speaking but all that money is being used to fight the vast right wing conspiracy.

Donate to me...think of the children.

Donate now and you'll get a "personalized" cigar from Bill.

Thanks,

Hillary Clinton, President of the...er, never mind.

Wow! A politican has campaign debts and wants to pay them off. This really is news!

Of course, the consensus seems to be that her "prolonging the campaign", see: winning most of those later large state primaries, actually helped Obama by making him set up field activity in those states and sharpen his own skills.

well why not a GOVERNMENT BAILOUT of her debt.

we are bailing out every one else...well almost

is she TOO BIG TO FAIL????

If she's really for the working class, she'll clear her own debts.

She has a month to play the futures market. What's the fucking problem?

More power to her. If she can find idiots that will help her pay off her debts, and send her money that might have been otherwise spent supporting other libs... well that's win win.

is she TOO BIG TO FAIL????

How about a federal bailout?

How much does she owe Lane Bryant?

I guess that's what she get's for being the first politician ever, from either political party, who had to do post-election fund raising to pay off campaign debt.

What?

Oh... she's not?

It very common?

Nevermind.

OK cry baby....

Dear Any Politician asking for debt relief:

Bite Me.

Signed,
Everyone

Jeez.....

Question to blog -

Bush and the Republicans doubled the debt in his tenure as President. If Obama and the Democrats don't increase the debt more than the roughly $5,000,000,000,000 it increased under Bush, wouldn't that be a success?

What in the name of God does that have to do with Hillary's debt?

What in the name of God does that have to do with Hillary's debt?

Nothing but attacking Bush is standard operating procedure regardless of subject. It a knee-jerk reaction. They're gonna miss him since everything they think, say, or do is Bush related. Are there any thoughts on anything in the news that exclude Bush or is this just what we should keep expecting? Hell, getting the left to STFU about Bush was the only bright side to OB's election for some of us?

She needs a bailout! Think of what will happen if we don't?!?!?!

I, in good faith can't lump all the lefties in with a retard like Boyd.

Hey all you Rtard pants-pissers. I realize it is a hard concept for you to grasp, but Hillary is not asking the government for a damned thing here. The email was to her supporters and if they want to send money, that's their decision.

Unlike your candidate who gobbled up taxpayer dollars to finance his FAILED campaign!!!!

Republicans: First and greediest at the public trough but always the ones complaining loudest about having to pay for it later!!!

The only reason I bring it up is because you aren't being asked to pay off W's debt, you're just gonna do it.

and what will you do in return if'n we bail you out?

Corky the Pocket Economist

Sounds like some stalker has the hots for me again.

Just wish he'd clean up that face!

Around 72% of Hillary's remaining debt is owed to Mark Penn:

latimesblogs.latimes.com

It's hard to work up any concern at all for him getting the money he's owed.

I don't understand why the Clintons aren't simply paying the debt off themselves. They earned $20 million in 2007, mostly from his speeches and their book sales. Wouldn't it be better to pay that off themselves and avoid this hat-in-hand stuff?

She and Bill should just "Leak" a Paris hilton style tape. They would make the money ba...

nevermind.

No one wants to see that.

I would pay Penn last, if ever, too. She already paid 13.5 mil of her own money.

-this hat-in-hand stuff?

I'm not sure this new phenomena of politicians asking for money will ever take hold...

"It's hard to work up any concern at all for him getting the money he's owed."

I think that particular debt is why so many Dems haven't contributed to help retire the debt plus the fact that the Clintons are very wealthy and can easily afford to pay it off themselves.

Hillary needs a bailout? She can get on the corner and rent that tail out....

IF I was the CEO at White Owl Cigar, I'd pay the debt in exchange for Bill's endorsement.

I'm not sure this new phenomena of politicians asking for money will ever take hold

----

Millionaire politicians championing the working class asking for money to pay off debt while the working class struggle to stay afloat.

Not the best PR move in my book.

How about a new phenomena of a millionaire politician saying "Hey, I understand the economy is bad and households are struggling to stay afloat. While I appreciate the support you gave me in my campaign, I cannot ask you for any more while you're struggling so much. Therefore, I am going to pay off this debt myself as a symbol of my sacrifice and desire to work on your behalf. In this tough economic time, sacrifice is required by all including me."

I would give Hillary a standing applause if she were to do something like.

An email to previous supporters, many of whom are regular contributors and quite well-off, is hardly begging the working class to pay her debts.

The santimony here is reaching new depths.

sanctimony

Possibly/possibly not.

An email to previous supports might include anybody who has contributed any dollar amount which would include the working class.

No one wants to see that.

Amen to that! You just saved me from cooking dinner, can't eat w/ that image. Thanks. Ewwwwwwwwwwwww!

Why should Hillary pay off her own debt.She is a hot lady and deserves to be pampered like a Queen

Are you going to donate to help her pay off the debt, Corky?

Actually, I thought I would donate to a new rehab program for chronic visceral Clinton haters.

It's called, CHA, Clinton Haters Anonymous.

I'll get you a brochure.

So you'll be in the CCA (Clinton Cult Association)?

You will be assimilated into the Clinton Collective. Resistance is futile.

It's called, CHA, Clinton Haters Anonymous.

I'll get you a brochure.

Maybe if they click their heels together and say CHA CHA CHA they could be cured?

I understand that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but do at least try to be original occasionally, 'K?

CHA CHA CHA

OK, funny pink flamingo flag for SA!

An insult from Corky when Hillary is criticized. Imagine that.

Awwww!! Is widdle Piwate feewing insulted?

There, there. You'll get over it.

Some day.

Dorky, for all the time you waste defending Hillary Clinton on this website alone, you could be working at McDonald's and sending her a check. Hop to it.

Fuck off, Joey. Yur momma's calling you.

Unless you would care to compare zip codes, too, Burger Boy?

Actually, I'm laughing. It's too predictable. Hillary does something questionable or lame. Corky defends. Hillary can do no wrong after all. After a while, Corky insults. Start over on new thread.

"Hillary does something questionable or lame."

What is she doing that many, many politicians from both parties don't do all the time? Why is it questionable or lame, other than that you don't like her?

She already ate the millions of dollars of her own money. And people are free to donate or not, as they see fit or are able.

Why is it any skin off of your ass?

But, but, you left something out.

Hillary does something questionable or lame. Corky defends. Pirate butt hugs Corky, making inane comments, then whines when contradicted. Claims he was insulted, then whines some more. Start over on new thread.

There, that's better.

What you claim as an insult here is insulting to real insults everywhere, btw.

I understand that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but do at least try to be original occasionally, 'K?

Sure thing Dorky. You first.

Don't forget the part where Joe feels compelled to jump in on the side of anyone who is opposed to someone he has ever disagreed with in the past - no matter whether he cares about the topic or not.

Trying to be insulting, eh?

I'll be sure they get you that CHA brochure overnighted.

Or, as San An suggested, just click your heels toegher three times and say CHA CHA CHA, Dorothy.

Who's taking sides? I'm just telling Dorky that he could help Hillary! a lot more if he worked during all the hours he spends trying to convince right-wingers she's a saint, and sent her the check.

Millionaire's begging for help clearing debt is LAME. Especially in an economic downturn or recession or whatever you want to call it.

Joe just seeks a little attention, SA.

Bottle fed, don't 'cha know.

Corky never answered my question either.

Are you going to donate to clear her debt, Corky?

Especially in an economic downturn or recession or whatever you want to call it.

Again, people are free to donate or not, as they see fit or are able.

Link?

I did answer your question. I am going to donate to organizations that try to cure the terminally dim.

(THAT was an insult, Bluebeard)

Ok, so you're on record as avoiding the question.

Link?

"Clinton already has had to write off most of the $13.2 million she lent her campaign since federal election law prevents her from raising all but $250,000 to pay herself back after her party's nominating convention in late August."

news.yahoo.com

I'm on record as not suffering fools lightly.

Hey, if you want to beat around Hillary's bush, more power to you. Whatever floats your boat.

Your act is SO tired, Dead Eye. You come on a thread and retort a post of mine that had nothing to do with you, then you bitch and moan when you are contradicted and claim some insult.

Then, were I into masochism, I could stay here all night watching you try to get the last word.

Did I mention tired?

Her Senate campaign committee, which had $6 million in the bank at the end of September, could agree to pay off her presidential campaign debts.

The Senate account received $6.5 million in donations from supporters who initially had given the money to finance Clinton's general-election campaign had she won the Democratic presidential nomination. They gave the money instead to her Senate campaign rather than request a refund.

Yeah, I feel terrible now...

"I could stay here all night"

Or you could work as a greeter all night at Wal-Mart for $8/hour, and send Hillary! a check for 64 big ones in the morning. How bout it?

To all my supporters,

I am respectfully requesting a small donation in order to retire my debt.

You see I have been fighting the War On Terror by putting a new roof on my home and fighting Big Oil by driving less but alas, I am in the red.

Please send whatever you can afford and Karma will return it tenfold.

Signed,

A concerned citizen warrior

How 'bout kissing mah 34102 ass, Joester?

I understand the literature about how being denied the breast at such an early age tends to make one an attention seeking little prick, but you don't have to try to be the best at it.

Your act is SO tired, Dead Eye. You come on a thread and retort a post of mine that had nothing to do with you, then you bitch and moan when you are contradicted and claim some insult.

Perhaps if you called people by their handle or quoted them instead of your cheesy knicknames, it might make things easier for you.

Dorky, all your talk about breastfeeding is a bit odd. Perhaps you'd like to elaborate on this obsession. In the meantime, enjoy the shithole we call Florida. The rest of the nation is waiting for it to rot off and float away.

Whatever happened to the Paw family? And don't tell me Norman Hsu couldn't write a check from the big house. Cheapskate gooks.

Awww, po' baby!

Well, at least you have Joe Jr with you. Perhaps he can file a thread suit for you, eh?

Although I suspect that proving it possible to demean your character would be too much even for our lawyer-in-diapers.

Dorky, all your talk about breastfeeding is a bit odd.

Not really considering his allegiance to Mother Hillary. Don't worry, Corky, mama Hil will make it all better.

You might want to consider keeping your correspondence with your lawyer private, Pie Rat.

People might find out that your real problem is your irrational, visceral hatred of anything Clinton.

That, and the intellect of a brick.

Dorky's fave:

Actually, you know what Corky, I apologize. I was getting a little mean spirited and taking jabs at you and I apologize.

It could never compete with the one erected for Bush.

I already said that millionaires asking for help to clear their debts is lame especially in economic hard times.

I don't care if was Clinton, McCain, Bill Gates, etc, etc.

If you want to defend it because other politicians have done it then fine. We'll agree to disagree.

I say those other politicians are lame too.

-Actually, you know what Corky, I apologize. I was getting a little mean spirited and taking jabs at you and I apologize.

Same here. It's easy to get carried away.

Why are we beating up Corky for backing Hillary Clinton over Barack Obama? It all worked out. They're complete BFFs now. The only issue left is whether Democrats should care enough to pay Mark Penn's bill.

I'm completely on board with Dems banding together to retire the non-Penn debt. But I kinda like the idea of him getting screwed over, since I think he was one of the big contributors to the negative aspects of her primary campaign. And I'm tired of Dem consultants making out like bandits on presidential campaigns, where they get a percentage of the money spent on ads.

-Why are we beating up Corky for backing Hillary Clinton over Barack Obama? It all worked out. They're complete BFFs now

Yeah! What the Blog God said! lmfao

BFFs
ARG! I chanced on the Paris Hilton "reality" show by that name a couple of times, a show where people are apparently competing to become her BFF (which is where I learned what that meant!.... ah, it's educational TV!) and I spit up in my my mouth twice in about a minute.

Hillary puts herself in debt and wants others to bail her out? Who does she think she is, GM? Let her go bankrupt.
