Dean falls flat in the Hamptons (Plutocrats stay away from Howard-hosted fund-raiser.)
New York Magazine ^ | July 18-25 | Greg Sargent

Posted on 07/18/2005 2:07:08 PM PDT by nickcarraway

Where are the Hamptons Deaniacs? Some of New York’s wealthiest Dem contributors were no-shows at a $5,000-per-couple Amagansett DNC fund-raiser Howard Dean hosted at the home of Margo and Robert Alexander on July 9—prompting worries that the donor elite are shutting their wallets to protest Dean’s shoot-from-the-lip party leadership. Sources say big-shot supporters Hassan Nemazee, Robert Zimmerman, Carl Spielvogel, and Barbaralee Diamonstein-Spielvogel played hooky. “Dean grew up in the Hamptons, and it was his first time back as chair, so he should have filled the room,” concedes a DNC official. “DNC staffers were really disappointed. It spoke to the lack of confidence in Dean among the donor leadership.” DNC spokesperson Karen Finney responds, “It was wonderfully successful and gave the governor a chance to really listen to what people had to say. Unfortunately, due to other plans, those folks couldn’t attend."—

"The Hamptons!!! I'll bet the room was just full of people of color. < / sarcasm >"

Couldn't they find a few Shinnecock Indians to fill up the empty seats?

Dean grew up in the Hamptons, eh? Then he moved up to Vermont with the rest of the hippies.

Ah, the beautiful Democrats of the Blue-Collar Party! Just take a walk on Lily Pond Lane in Easthampton -- everywhere you see the working class. Stroll the sandy beach of Georgica Pond -- you will meet America's noble peasants and miners. Pop by Loaves and Fishes for a quart of fresh lobster salad -- the line of decent working people stretches around the block.

Thanks, but I just bought a bunch of paper targets.

"Barbaralee Diamonstein-Spielvogel"

I think that was a typo. Her real name is Barbarastein Spielee-Diamonvogel ;-)

Oh, now we can understand what Dean means in his harsh criticisms of those wealthy Republicans! The pictures clearly show that this "big night in Manhattan" had lots of poor and middle class people in attendance, and that the "recipient" of their reward, Kofi Annan, is himself sworn to poverty. And the get-together in The Hamptons--well, it was a gathering of the homeless. Such hypocrisy!

And like the evil Sauron who rose from his own ashes the equally evil Hildabeast waits in the wings for her chance.

When I think about the DNC these days, and read pieces like this and today's posted article about the Dems' fundraising falling far behind the Republicans' I picture the dark tower collapsing at the end of Return of the King, to Howard Shore's triumphant score.

This bodes ill for the Dem's chances in 2005 and 2006. Without "walking around" money for the "activists", plus money for the get-out-the-vote drives, they will be toast in any closely contested election.

Getting the dead to walk to the polls is expensive

The next DNC president should be George Romero.

Somewhere behind that hair, there is a knot pulling that face so tight.

I had some of that the other night at a bistro. A little too much garlic, but not bad.
