To commemorate the 10th anniversary of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, Petra Nemcova, a Czech model who survived the disaster by clinging to a palm tree, decided to pull out all the stops for the annual fund-raiser of her school-building charity, the Happy Hearts Fund.
She booked Cipriani 42nd Street, which greeted guests with Bellini cocktails on silver trays. She flew in Sheryl Crow with her band and crew for a 20-minute set.
The gala cost $363,413. But the real splurge? Bill Clinton.
The former president of the United States agreed to accept a lifetime achievement award at the June 2014 event after Ms. Nemcova offered a $500,000 contribution to the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation. The donation, made late last year after the foundation sent the charity an invoice, amounted to almost a quarter of the evening’s net proceeds — enough to build 10 preschools in Indonesia.

I’ll give credit where credit is due. Slick Willy really knows how to draw women. I don’t get it, but he’s obviously got something going for him.
“Y’all can get a ten percent discount for a Lewinsky.”
They’re just following the money.
The Drips just keep coming. (No pun intended)
She actually paid Slick Willy’s “charity” $500,000! For what? I don’t know.
Ewwwww. Watch out for the dress!
Looking at the pages upon pages of the Clinton Foundation donor list---it appears the Clintons used the Foundation as a credentialing apparatus---the Clintons caught on early that people would give big bucks to get on their list.
=======================================================
At the end of his book, "Clinton Cash," Schweizer writes: "The Clintons are perhaps the most politically sophisticated public figures of their generation. They have numerous avenues for making money. They know how things work in the corridors of power and around the world; they know that foreign governments are trying to influence American foreign policy; and they know that bribery is rampant around the world. Some avenues might not be as lucrative as getting a $700,000 honorarium for a speech in Nigeria, but they would be much cleaner." (p. 183)
Maybe just for the tax deduction, with most of the money eventually finding it's way into a bank account with her name on it. It's just a money laundering operation.
Happy Hearts’ former executive director believes the transaction was a “quid pro quo,” which rerouted donations intended for a small charity with the concrete mission of rebuilding schools after natural disasters to a large foundation with a broader agenda and a budget 100 times bigger.
“The Clinton Foundation had rejected the Happy Hearts Fund invitation more than once, until there was a thinly veiled solicitation and then the offer of an honorarium,” said the former executive director, Sue Veres Royal, who held that position at the time of the gala and was dismissed a few weeks later amid conflicts over the gala and other issues.
Bill Clinton embodies the actualization of the persistent male fantasy of having sex w/ younger women." Bill gives sex-obsessed lefties a vicarious thrill....visions of the married, gray-haired Clinton getting a young WH intern to crawl under his desk to give him a BJ is better than Viagra.
====================================================
I can almost hear the "impartial" Candy Crowley interviewing the Clintons:: "After he got lubed by Monica Lewinsky in the Oval Office, then-pres Clinton handily survived b/c of his awesome political survival skills and his political effectiveness...b/c of the citizenry's distaste for " evil Republican" who repeatedly overreached, and b/c he brought the US peace and prosperity. "
======================================================
When Hillary campaigns, she speaks to her base voters---not to you and me.
"A vote for me is a vote for a Fully-Fornicating Society
without the nuisance of an actual child being born."
The genital-sniffing Planned Parenthood abortion worshippers who populate the Dem party are crazy over the Clintons.....(Groan) God only knows what blood and gore Hillary will throw the genital-sniffing rubbermaids to assure them "aggression over the unborn" will continue...and is her prime interest.
It is the credo of the Democrat Party that vote-crazed Dem pols must keep the snarling abortion worshippers at bay by upping the political ante every election cycle. Maybe Hillary'll endorse post-birth abortions as the true measure of her abortion worship...or maybe she'll establish a Cabinet-level "Dept of Diddling"?
It must be his penis-shaped nose.
“Some avenues might not be as lucrative as getting a $700,000 honorarium for a speech in Nigeria, but they would be much cleaner.” (p. 183)
Really? Wow!
Like I wrote, give credit where credit is due. The Clinton bribery syndicate does seems to have it down to an art.
“A vote for me is a vote for a Fully-Fornicating Society
without the nuisance of an actual child being born.”
Sounds like Hillary. Democrats are the party of sin: greed, envy, lust, lies, etc.

I really hate to admit it, but that one really got a good chuckle out of me. All good humor has a basis in reality. This thread is definitely NOT useless without pictures.
