Reminds me of an old joke (funny how the Clintons always do that..)
"For $100k you can sit with the Clintons at a 10-person table with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice...
For an extra $100k we'll move the Clintons to another table."
I guess it would be worth a 100 grand just to be within spitting distance for some people. The point of the tickets going to the highest bidder is so the Clintons can choose who will be seated. Also the point that was made about Rice not being charged was a low blow attempt to place Clinton superiority.
