Hillary's campaign donors include the usual suspects

posted Thursday, 20 July 2006

Before you attend another movie, have a look at the Hollywierd buffoons who have donated cold cash to Hillary Clinton's senate-cum-President campaign. It's one thing when these clucks give verbal support, or benefit performances, but when a celebrity actually parts with cold cash on behalf of an issue or candidate, that's worth noting.

Moreover Clinton's records show that two aides filed travel expenses to Des Moines, leading some to speculate the senator may enter the Iowa Caucuses in 2008. Her office claims that these particular hotel bills were erroneous, and actually reflected a trip to Albany and another to Austin. Right.

Quoting an Associated Press report:

Significant contributors:

Tom Hanks, $4,200
Chris Rock $2,100.
Singer Bette Midler , $4,200 (the maximum allowed by law)
James Caan, $4,200
Marla Maples $2,000
Rob Reiner $3,200.
Billy Crystal $4,000
Walt Disney Co. CEO Robert Iger $2,100.
Hank Aaron $300,
New York Knicks assistant coach Herb Williams $1,000
Retired New York Rangers goaltender Mike Richter gave $4,200, as did his wife.

[During the period April through June,] Clinton raised almost $5.7 million, bringing her total for her re-election effort to $43 million to date. She had more than $22 million cash on hand.  The senator has spent more than $21.7 million [on this campaign] even though she has yet to run a single television ad.
