Last night there was somewhat of a ritualistic dinner held.
It was the Al Smith dinner, a white-tie affair, and a ritual that Presidential candidates, very late in the game, have usually taken part in. This year was no different, with both Hillary and Trump sporting their white-tie best.
But this is not your usual sort of passe' thing. No, it's a benefit, and as are many benefits in New York it was stuffed with priestly types and an extraordinary price tag -- but, as is frequently the case when there are so many with a priestly bent headlining the event the money actually goes to a decent cause -- in this case Catholic Charities. And, I might add, rumors are that they raised a record amount. Bravo.
This dinner is in fact a roast, and The Donald went first. He served up a menu that began with some self-deprecating humor, as is the usual fare. But then, after getting the crowd nice and warm, with chuckles and even roars of approval, he dropped the hammer:
"Hillary is so corrupt -- She got kicked off the Watergate Commission. How corrupt do you have to be to get kicked off the Watergate Commission?"
It didn't end there, and there were boos. Of course there were boos: Trump was in a hard-left, hard-Democrat audience.

So what is your gut feeling about Catholic voters?
What would you say the Clinton/Trump preference will be?
T,F.B. if they didn’t like it.
I say white Catholics vote 60/40 Trump and hispanic Catholics vote 30/70 against Trump.
I know a religion shouldn’t be broken up by race or ethnicity, but it is what it is.
I remember when we were promised that hispanics were very devout and wouldn’t vote for abortion/gay rights.
Suckered once again.
Maria might fit better over at Eighth Avenue and 43rd Street, with that showing pair of Globes.
Agreed— good read. Bravo Trump for entering this lions den! Saw one Trump barb that “Hillary is so corrupt that she even pretends to not hate Catholics.” DrudgeReport has a link to a YouTube video of an unsteady Hillary stumbling to the podium. Can’t view it from here but will watch later. Wonder if the entire event is out there?
Rumors on WikiLeaks say Hillary swings both ways and has an arranger(Pimp).

Was Maria going bowling after the dinner?!
Maria was a delicious distraction - I was listening to DJT but watching Maria :-)))
Ali v Frazier IV with Cardinal Dolan as Referee
They were marvellous.
Catholic Charities would be a subcontractor of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops.

Absolutely.
Like the Methodist Church, the ELCA, the Episcopal Church, and other Christian denominations, the left has infiltrated the upper ranks and hierarchy.
Nor is this happenstance. It is deliberate. If you control the entertainment media, the news media, the churches and the education system, you control the society.
And they are doing just that in America.
After we demonstrated the total impracticability of socialist systems by successfully burying the Soviets, we are losing right at home as we lost in Europe.
Unless conservatives get together and reverse these trends, Atlas Shrugged is the only outcome.
I’d challenge Maria at foosball!
I take it you are familiar with The Frankfurt School?
Agree, but who knew?! I need to watch FBN more often.
What do you think of Catholic Charities' Muslim refugee resettlement work in USA and the additional ney the get from the fed for it? (see post 32)
I think you’re right. Inherent racism in the democratic love of illegal immigration. Any white Catholic immigration? Not so much.
Why would a Christian organization invite a person who champions abortion to one of their events?
