New York Sen. Hillary Clinton has always been tightfisted with a dollar - and that hasn't changed she began raising cash for her 2008 presidential campaign.
The New York Post reports that so far this year, just 8 percent of spending by Hillary's political action committee, HillPAC - a meager $75,000 - has gone to support other Democrats currently running for office.
Two years ago, Hillary's fundraising chief Patti Solis Doyle told The Post: "HillPAC was founded to elect other Democrats."
But instead the former first lady seems to be hoarding the rest of the cash for herself - pouring $949,000 of her HillPAC stash into her own political network.
Hillary's political stinginess stands in marked contrast to some of her 2008 rivals.
2004 presidential loser John Kerry, for instance, has helped bankroll key Democratic machines in Iowa, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Arizona and Michigan, which the Post notes are key presidential primary and swing states.
Hillary flak Ann Lewis defended her boss's lack of political generosity, insisting, "The purpose of HillPAC is to support Democratic candidates, and we do. The PAC operates on an election cycle timetable — not per quarter."

Anybody who gave money to the Hildabeast and actually expected her to do with it what she said she would is a complete fool!
MONEY LAUNDERING!!! If they can do this to Tom DeLay, do it to missus slime....she isn't a pinch worth the salt compared to Tom...
and this is new?. Don't anyone remember the DNC complaining they weren't getting their share of the money the clintons were raking in during his speech gambits?
Doogle
Typo there.
It should read 2004 presidential LOSER John Kerry
Hmmmm... collecting money from who knows whom and redistributing it to other campaigns (no doubt on someone's targeted list)? Sounds like money laundering to me. Or, in the very, least a conspiracy to do so. Call in the grand jury!! LOL
Expect every CRIME in the book to be committed by the Dems and the Marxist Medusa between now and 2008.
Their lust and fanaticism to return to POWER is without limit.
And there ARE a lot of determined Democrats out there! ; )
... money isnt the only thing she's hoarding. :)
It's all they have in life....
Marxist Medusa!!!!
Now that is worth wide spread recognition!
Good one EagleUSA.
But that would require of the DNC to uphold the same standards as the RNC.
If they tote lawful standards, what would become of the DNC's political base? /snicker
HillPAC? That's a weird name. Wonder what the PAC stands for. Hillary Pratcing Atrocious (sp?) Crimes, perhaps?

"Anybody who gave money to the Hildabeast and actually expected her to do with it what she said she would is a complete fool!"
Anybody expecting the Clintons to think about anybody other than themselves is a complete fool.
The purpose of HillPAC is to support Democratic candidates, and we do
Bill = Democrat
Hillary = other Democrat
Assume that the potential funds donated to Democrats to be a finite (limited) amount, the more funds soaked up by Hillary in her eventual failure, the less money available to other candidates, equals conservative success.
"HillPAC was founded to elect other Democrats."
Sure just like PERV PAC the one that clinochhio used to suck up every last available leftist dollar in 1996 was founded to re-elect Democrats to the Congress and win it back.
