August 10, 2002 -- WASHINGTON - A day after The Post revealed that Sen. Hillary Clinton intended to keep her campaign-cash stash from indicted ImClone CEO Sam Waksal, she flip-flopped and said she'll give some of it to charity.

It also turns out that Clinton got far more money from Waksal than first reported - at least $63,000 from the man indicted this week for insider trading, bank fraud and document-shredding.

We all knew The Ankle was dirty - just like her party. Who exactly is it that is donating so much to this b!tch that she needs to move into a bigger office? How many people does it take to deposit checks? I know - they're just moving into a bigger trailer.

Amazing that hillary! figured out that giving back the dirty $$$ was the right thing to do, right after the Post story came out.. I hope her fellow DemocRATS appreciate the fact, that even though Old Crusty is raking in the dough, she wants the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee take the fall and return the $56,000, at the expense of other Dims.

Well, loyalty, among many other virtues, was never a strong point with either of the clintons.

Be intersting to see how she handles that on her tax returns. After all, charities are tax deductions.

We have so much damaging information on this horrible excuse for a woman, archived on this site, that it is not funny.

Wonder when the "watchdog" press will take a look?

Why does she get to have the tax deduction? Why can't she just give it back? Sure, she can give it to charity. Just don't write it off.

Check out this story from the NY Daily News, They left out some of the details. (Surprise!)

Also notice the contrast , according to the News, between why hillary! returned the money and why Schumer did. hillary! did it because "it was the right thing to do" (oh how wonderful) and Schumer did it because, "the guy was indicted."

Hil to give away
Waksal campaign cash

Sen. Hillary Clinton did an about-face yesterday and said she would donate to charity thousands in contributions she received from indicted ImClone founder Sam Waksal.

Clinton's office said she will donate $2,000 given her Senate campaign and $5,000 given HILLPAC, her political action committee, to a charity yet to be determined.

She said she also would urge the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee's New York Senate 2000 - a soft-money account set up on Clinton's behalf - to give to charity the $26,000 it got from Waksal.

The former First Lady reversed course one day after saying she would keep Waksal's contributions.

Spokeswoman Karen Dunn said donating the money "is the right thing to do because it's important to take action to restore faith in both our markets and our political system."

Waksal, 54, was charged this week with obstruction of justice and bank fraud. This was on top of insider-trading charges in June, when he was accused of secretly advising family members to sell their ImClone stock Dec. 27 - two days before the government announced it had rejected his biotech company's cancer drug, Erbitux.

In the past, Clinton has handed over questionable campaign money. In January, she announced she was giving $8,000 from Enron and its accountant, Arthur Andersen, to a charitable fund helping employees of the bankrupt energy company.

Meanwhile, Sen. Chuck Schumer's office said he would give away $3,000 in contributions he has received from Waksal since 1998. Asked why, Schumer's spokesman said: "Because the guy was indicted."

Hillary! has received donations from questionable characters in the past and these donations are reported as such. On numerous occasions Hillary! has stated she is returning the money (or in this instance giving it to charity). Since I have a difficult time believing anything that woman says, how do we know for a fact that previously report donations are indeed returned?

We're giving the money to charity because it's the right thing to do," Clinton spokeswoman Karen Dunn said.

bzzzzt.

Wrong answer.

(Dunn sips glass of water laced with truth serum.)

Look, our fellow criminals got caught. Hopefully their lawyers and our political pressure will get them off. But what are you going to do?

Actually, I think Hillary has decided to abandon these folks. She does that, you know. She sticks with people when the going is good, then she dumps them when they start getting bad press.

She would try to do that with me, too, but I have a file on the b_)&h. It has some great pictures of Hillary in bed with ....

I know its gross, but wanna see?

"word, words, words; I'm so sick of words." I'll believe it when I see the receipt. Which charity is so gifted?
The Hillary/Bill fund?

Doesn't control the DSCC money, my derriere! If she said it should go back, it would all go back. Hilliary could give Janus lessons in being two-faced.

My favorite ( coined by a FReeper whose handle I've forgotten ) was

Hillarrhea!

The exclamation point was a cynical play on the Evita!- like fraudulence of her campaign, and before the software blocked it, I liked to add the html code for Copyright to further satirize this thoroughly corrupt and malignant wench.

BTW, do you recall this ghastly doggerel?

A Song for Hillary
The whole world will be dancing in the street
when Hillary Rodham Clinton takes her Senate seat.
No carpetbagger is she;
she's a human Statue of Liberty.
Hillary, Hillary, Hillary!
We're so glad for the joy that she will bring.
We can always count on her to do the right thing.
She's faithful and honest, too.
Thank God she's happened to me and you.
Hillary, Hillary, Hillary!
No matter what the voices of deception say,
Vote Hillary Clinton on Election Day.
No matter the problems, big or small;
she will tackle and solve them all.
The whole world will be dancing in the street
when Hillary Rodham Clinton takes her Senate seat.
No carpetbagger is she;
she's a human Statue of Liberty.
Hillary, Hillary, Hillary!

Backhoe, Hell will be long frozen over before the "watchdogs" in the media report [they can't help but see it because there is so much ]on anything that is detrimental to hillary, or bill either for that matter.

Now if it was the legaly elected President George W.Bush [I like to use the term "legally elected" because it drives the 'rats that monitor this site bonkers]or a republican.....

But, notice the little dig at Schumr? The media will slowly but surely make him disappear, or paint him in a not too flattering light, all to help hillary!.
