Hilarious: NY Times chronicles Hillary's problems hiding her wealth and elitism
American Thinker ^ | 06/19/2015 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 06/20/2015 6:47:20 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

I have got to hand it to Amy Chozick of the New York Times for her deadpan article on Hillary Clinton’s “quandary” over what to do about the Hamptons this summer. You see, she and Bill have for years vacationed there, among the show business and Wall Street elites who rent or own fabulous mansions along the shore of eastern Long Island, mingling with one another. It takes a lot money:

 In 2011 and 2012, there was the eight-bedroom, 12,000-square-foot East Hampton rental with a heated pool that the couple took for part of August, the kind of house that typically goes for $200,000 per month, according to local real estate listings.

Then, in 2013, they opted for an equally pricey six-bedroom mansion in Sagaponack with a private pathway to the beach. (Mrs. Clinton worked on her memoir, “Hard Choices,” from a sunny office with an ocean view.)

It takes more than a village. But of course, this kind of dough is no big deal for the Clintons, who can deliver a 20 minute off-the-cuff address and cover a month’s rent. But the reason it is a quandary is:

…the Clintons’ go-to vacation spot for the last several summers now seems problematic, as Mrs. Clinton, who is seeking the Democratic nomination for president, delivers a populist economic message that the deck is stacked in favor of the wealthiest Americans and that she plans to “reshuffle the cards.”

Thus, it may not be ideal for Mr. and Mrs. Clinton to be photographed mingling at summer cocktail parties with the likes of Jerry Seinfeld, Alec Baldwin, Steven Spielberg and other wealthy Hamptons regulars.

The ugly-a$$ marxist is a charter member of the ruling elite. Her Royal Queenness rakes in the money and has nothing but scorn for us. She feels that she is entitled to it.

She is filthy rich and wants to spend 8 years taking money from those who earn it honestly and give it to those who whine about being poor and vote democrat.

Hillary said she "decided" to run for president while
lounging around designer Oscar de la Renta's beach house.

The beach house.

=====================================================

Power-obsessed Hillary has been running for president ever since she was trading cattle futures in Possum Holler, Arkansas.....the ambitious Clintons did not even own a house back then. Now thanks to the buck-raking Foundation, they own pricey real estate all over the place.

Hillary told Diane Sawyer she and Bill were “dead broke” when they left the White House....and Bill rationalized his $500,000 speeches saying he has to "pay the bills".

The "dead broke" Clintons' real estate holdings (that we know of).

Bill and Hillary Clinton bought the $5.95 million mansion in Chappaqua, Westchester County, New York in 1999. The house is now estimated to be worth $6.84 million.

The Clintons paid $2.85 million for DC Georgian Colonial; w/ 5,152 sq feet, 4 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms.

Chelsea and hubby Marc Mezvinsky's $10 million condo w/ pricey furnishings, and monthly upkeep in the stratosphere. Chelsea has no job and Mark runs a faltering hedge fund.

I have for years not vacationed there, even though my family is from there.

I can barely afford a couple of nights in a Hampton Inn on Long Island.

Mega-billionaires Hillary and Bill hired an army of fixers and marketeers to retool Hillary for 2016. Hillary connivingly planned to campaign on "income inequality" .......running as a phony populist.

Campaign strategists warned Hillary her "tone" is important.....(to better dupe the voters).

THE KELLY FILE ran a news clip of the properly coached Hilly sing-songing "the cancer of inequality" in a contrived sap-happy, chirpy voice, wearing a h-u-g-e phony grin.

Reminded me of the classic Willam Castle horror movie, "Mr Sardonicus," (whose face becomes frozen in a horrifying grin while robbing the coffin of his father's grave).

Hillary wears her perpetual 2016 game face.

Every time those pictures appear my mind flashes to the staff it takes to clean the Johnson and do the dishes. Wonder how many of them are illegal immigrants? ??

When Queen Hellary The Flying Buttress waddles into the WH in 2017, you & the other ignorant peasants will PAY for your lack of respect for Her Thighness, you impertinent upstart!

I’m only half joking. It is possible.

And how much does the Apostle of Income Equality pay them?

All those nice homes for Hillary and she still looks like a housepainter from I’m Dickens, He’s Fenster.

What did the elegant Oscar de la Renta think of the Clinton's beach attire?

The slattern and the scoundrel.

Face it, gravity has not been kind to Hillary.

Meanwhile, according to the NYT article, Mr. Clinton takes his young niece and nephew for miniature golf and his 9-year-old arthritic chocolate Labrador, Seamus, for walks on the beach.

Nine year old dogs have no business having arthritis….clearly the cheapskates are feeding him cheap food. And/or never walking him unless the cameras are on.

Gravity isn't to blame. It's volume and density.

Two tramps. They could play a road show of Waiting for Godot.

I would prefer they be down for the count.

Or up on counts.
Many, many counts.

When the dust clears, the Slimes will endorse Hitlery. Also, we should consider the article an outlier.
