Peter Paul,Marc Rich,Aaron Tonken..How many more Clinton buddies must go to jail!!! So unfair!! UNFAIR!

[Paul Atreides]

Financial records obtained by the Times showed that some stars may have received hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of jewelry, watches, free trips and cash for appearances at charity events.

Ah yes, the compassion crowd, constantly crowing about unfeeling rich Republicans with tight pocketbooks, making a mint just for appearing at a charity.

[RLK]

Aaron Tonken (search) held glitzy Hollywood galas and raised money for Sen. Hillary Clinton (search)'s 2000 Senate race, among other political and charitable activities.

------------------------------------

Any idiod who gave money intended for Hillary deserves to be taken. Give the man a medal for outstanding public service and set him free.

I made this point back when celebs were tripping over themselves to appear at 9-11 charity functions.

[WinOne4TheGipper]

I suppose these people were right, too.

[eureka!]

Hmmmm. Elite Star Do Gooders with their hands in the charity kitty. How Hollywood Hypocritical. This could get fun, especially if the IRS is in the loop....

I have stopped donating to any charity but the Salvation Army till they can PROVE to me that they have cleaned up their act. These Hollywierd people are now, and have always been, hypocrits so this doesn't surprize me in the least. To the Hollwierd left, just as the Clintoons, it's all about them. How terribly pathetic a life they must lead!

[HairOfTheDog]

I suppose these people were right, too.

No.... they were very wrong you goof. They broke laws.

Tonken solicited donations for phony events, then diverted the money to bank accounts with names falsely suggesting they were charitable organizations.

[Eroteme]

I'd submit that these Hollywood galas and other fundraisers for Hillary are necessary window dressing. She does, after all, have to have some pretense of where all her money comes from.

The lesson of the WH coffees was learned. You don't show off the real donors. She may not bake cookies, but she knows how to launder.

'And the fete goes on....'

Elite Star Do Gooders with their hands in the charity kitty........This could get fun, especially if the IRS is in the loop....

Laws were broken here, bet on it.

Liberal do-gooder Hollywarped-types constantly parade their "tolerance and (gag) compassion" and their (gag) "moral superiority" over the rest of us b/c liberals supposedly "really (gag) care" for the less fortunate among us.

Liberal Hollyweirdos are outed---at long last---for who they really are.........crass, greedy self-serving hypocrites who won't appear in public, even for sweet charity, unless there's something in it for them.

Gosh, I'm so surprised (/sarcasm).

[PGalt]

Thanks for the post, thanks for the ping. Good news. Another criminal busted. More Hollywood Busts to Come.

[Dante3]

Hollywood star come out for fundraisers usually only when they can promote themselves. All the free publicity the star got after 9/11 aiding families of rich stock brokers. You didn't see them after Okalhoma City bombing and you sure don't see them after coal mine disasters.

NEVER FORGET

The Compassion Crowd = HATE BUSH

The CLARITY Crowed = LUVYA DUBYA

Thanks for the ping!

Tonken was also questioned by federal officials probing former President Clinton's pardon of fugitive financier Marc Rich (search).

The money quote.........pun intended.

I didn't realize that someone had reactivated an old thread until after I posted. ;-) I wish I could have seen you make the Hildabeast wince. I get warm fuzzies just thinking about it. LOL
