Bill Clinton has moved on, he's getting some Spinal Tap
Posted on 05/18/2009 5:06:00 PM PDT by Al B.
In an unusual attempt to forge an alliance between two of the most prominent political families in American politics, John Coale, a Washington-area Democratic donor and onetime adviser to Sarah Palin, urged the conservative Alaska governor to use her political action committee to help retire the presidential campaign debt of Hillary Clinton.
Coale, a wealthy trial attorney and the husband of Fox News talk show host Greta Van Susteren, approached Palin with the improbable plan in February while in Alaska with his wife, who was taping an interview with the former Republican vice presidential nominee.
An outspoken Clinton supporter during the Democratic primary who switched his allegiance to the GOP ticket for the general election, Coale made his case to Palin at the Iron Dog snowmachine competition in Fairbanks, where Todd Palin was competing over Valentine’s Day weekend. His broader aim, say Palin camp insiders, was to help Palin develop a relationship with the former first family that he thought could bolster the polarizing governor’s standing with Democrats and independents.
Palin was amenable to getting acquainted with the Clintons but was skeptical of using her PAC to help the former first lady.

Palin camp eyed Clinton alliance
No they didn't. John Coale did. This also caught my eye:
Former President Bill Clinton placed a friendly call to Palin after the election, and Coale sought to use that as an opportunity to play matchmaker.GMAFB...
Is that - Get Me A Fresh Beer?
Absurd. Totally.
Maybe Chelsea and Bristol could get married.
I have to take a shower every time I even think of the oily Clintons.
Sarah Palin needs NOTHING from those two political gangsters.
The thought of bill c. calling Palin makes me just feel dirty.
Bill Clinton has moved on, he's getting some Spinal Tap
Any sources Mr. Martin?
Otherwise this is very imaginative and (in some quarters believable) story.
It supports my contention that when you read “credable sources say ...” it’s really a bunch of reporters sitting at the bar exchanging gossip.
Sounds like Coale was testing the waters to see if there might be a RINO hiding in Alaska.
Apparently not.
Can you smell *setup* here? As if to create a 'straw man' whereby if Sarah even *considers* such an absurd arrangement, she would be tainted with the same muck as every politician is ... all to 'level the playing field' as it were ... then they can say GOTCHA!
Otherwise, I didn't even know that Sarah even *had* a "political action committee" yet? If she does, where can I sign up and contribute ?!?!?!
This is totally bizarre. Apart from the fact that Palin and Clinton are just about as far apart as two people can be, hillary has a hundred times as much money as Sarah could possibly have squirreled away in Swiss Bank accounts.
Sure, she’d like to pay off her debt at someone else’s expense. But she and bill have billions of dollars in ill-gotten gains in those numbered accounts.
Krintons are pissing into the well.
LET’S GO !!! Thanks :)
Him too.
BUT - DO NOT LET BILL ANYWHERE NEAR SARAH.
I don't want to read about the Governor of Alaska "accidentally" shooting Mr Clinton.
What a stupid idea. Is that the best she can do for political advisors?
Politico = Washington Post on the net. The left is so clever with their use of language. When I see Politico, I read no further.
ROTFL! I LOVE that poster!
