Clooney cannot keep proving how low his IQ is. At some point wouldn’t he want to appear intelligent? How low can his IQ go?

‘April 15 where seats at the head table cost $353,400 a couple. The next night, another fundraiser will be held at Clooney’s Los Angeles home and tickets are $33,400 each.....’

And on 3/13/14, Ms Clinton made $475,000 for two speeches (Pharmacological Care Management Assoc, Orlando and Drug, Chemical & Associated Technologies, NYC) and on 3/18/14, Ms Clinton made $500,000 for two speeches (Xerox Corp, NYC and Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal, Montreal). Why does Hilary! need fundraisers??? If she can make nearly a million dollars on any two given days in March, 2014, why doesn’t she just keep making speeches to fund her campaign??? Oh, she cannot promise quid pro quo during a campaign?? Got it.

They should be able to do that. A responsible news media woukd tell us each one at the head table and if obscure, what business they’re in.

Bernie and I agree about corruption and $ in politics.

Seriously, I would get a kick out of having dinner with Bernie. Well, a conversation with him: I don’t need to see him send his soup back three times at a deli. I really want to know why he still thinks socialism helps ANYONE when it’s been proven for decades that it does not, in any group larger than a nuclear family.

Also would be interesting to hear how the climate changing turns a young man to wishing to mass murder women and children. Is there a certain temperature that does it? Could air conditioning save the world?

He is correct. An individual is only supposed to be able to donate 2,700 a year. But you can buy a 33,000 ticket to dinner. More of the scams.

Yes Bernie, it is an ugly thing when people use money to buy influence over pols.

But it is even uglier to bribe some voters to support you in order to use government to rob from those you and they feel have too much.

Indeed it’s very very obscene. Hillary sells and sells and sells out all the time. She’s the epitome of what’s wrong with a number of politicians these days. - they’re in it for all the money they can shake out of it. Government and positions and policies and favors are for sale And even to our Islamic enemies - it stinks to high heaven

Bernie knows that none of his supporters can talk their parents into spending that kind of money on him.

George Clooney never pays for anything. He has the hollywood studio do so for the tax deduction.
