Comments on: Hillary raises $2.6 million in Hollywood

By: Hot Air » Blog Archive » Important: “Reclusive, neurotic, over-the-hill vocalist” endorses Hillary

Tue, 27 Nov 2007 23:39:18 +0000

[...] Not unexpected (really not unexpected?) and useful insofar as it helps Hillary close the all-important Most Powerful Woman in Showbiz gap. Exit question: Doesn’t this inadvertently play into Obama’s image as fresh-faced and different? He’s got Oprah! and Hillary’s got this gorgon has-been and her Truther moron husband. [...]

Wonder if the Hollywood crowd would support a fellow actor if Fred Thompson decides to run? That would be too much to hope for I guess.

The answer to that one is NO! They don’t support conservatives no matter who they are.

Don’t these “stars’ have enough sense to know that the money they are giving the witch is just like pouring it down a rat hole? Somebody should tell them the money could go for a better cause – like helping those who need help. Hey ‘Babs’ like people who need people!

Of course, I am proposing that we all send the witch a donation but not in bucks. How about if each of us send her a can of dog food?

When he converts it to the Amero, its a ton of money! Don’t doubt the power of the NAU!

Too bad that everybody else will also convert their warchests to that, and it will still be X times as much.

[...] This from Hot Air: Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton raised $2.6 million at a Saturday night fundraiser in Hollywood. That’s more than double what David Geffen raised last month for Democratic Presidential contender Sen. Barack Obama. [...]

If she becomes President I’ll start smoking cigars.

In the year 2008, I really think that Hillary Clinton should run for president on a platform of restoring honor and integrity to the Oval Office.

- – Bill Maher

She could promise to never, ever, use cigars in any form, shape, or otherwise, not on Easter Sunday, or any other day, in the White House.

So much celebrity, so much money, so much hope – then, so much disappointment and TDS.

Exit question; does Tom Tancredo realize that the $1 million he’s raised in total so far isn’t going to help him in the least?

I’m conservative but you can’t tell me money doesn’t corrupt, which is why I am all for public financiang of campaigns. Look at the Republicans on immigration, and the Democrats sucking up to Hollywood and its “values”. The Republicans don’t give a darn about their rank and file anymore, b/c we don’t butter their bread.

A group of people equal in number to HotAir’s average daily visits could comfortably outdo such a fundraising feat. Sitemeter reports average daily visits of 90,000 (in round terms). $2,600,000 divided by 90,000 equals $29.

I understand that “daily visits” doesn’t mean “unique daily visits,” etc. I’m just offering a way to put the $2.6 million in perspective of your approximate numbers, so as to show how readily achievable such a sum is. Here’s another way to see how easily Hillary’s fundraiser can be overwhelmed. If HotAir readers put a mark on a piece of paper every time they visited the site and, once a month, donated a dollar to some candidate for each visit they had marked down, then between today and the election, they would donate over $50,000,000.

Keep in mind that:
A: This is early and H’wood is giving to all dems.
B: I wouldn’t put it past the Clintons to be fudging the facts a wee bit! I’m thinking creative accounting.
C: She was a tad bit stunned by the rebuke she received from Geffen…Geffen is a tad more influential in Hollywood and can make or break more people than Sir Hillary can..

I wish Hollywood would put on a fund-raiser for me. Sigh. 2.6 mil could buy a whole lot of dog food.

It is a shame that we can’t tax these donations. We could wipe out the national debt by taxing campaigns for the businesses that they are.

Talk of Hollywood going over the edge for Obama appears to have been premature.

However, talk of Hollywood simply going over the edge remains spot-on.

What’s the over/under of Mrs. Bill Clinton autographing her Hot Air photo?

And I question her timing but never her patriotism.
