Bill Clinton, who as president professed to be in favor of campaign finance reform, will be in Manhattan this week raising funds for one of the Democratic "527" organizations set up to raise soft money, which the McCain-Feingold Act seeks to prohibit.
Clinton is listed with Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack and West Virginia Gov. Bob Wise [who, like Clinton, has affairs with various women on the govt. payroll, though I can't for the life of me see why any woman would give that oily creature a second look] as "special guests" Thursday evening for a "private dinner" at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel raising money for the Democratic Governor Media Fund. The price of admission: $5,000, $10,000 or $25,000.
The fund is described in the invitation to the dinner as "a new 527 political organization" that will run "unlimited independent issue ads" in states where more money is needed. "We will make sure," says the invitation, "voters are aware of the failed policies of the Bush administration." Today's column
