So pleasant to be around.

Nearly a decade after President Bill Clinton wooed Dem fat cats and Tinseltown titans with lavish Lincoln Bedroom sleepovers, his political investment is paying only modest dividends for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's re-election fund-raising.
An exhaustive Post study of White House and federal fund-raising records found that nearly 20% of Bubba's White House sleepover guests have ponied up cash for his wife's re-election - fewer than one in five of the more than 1,100 overnighters.
A 2000 review by the Center for Responsive Politics found that 40% of White House sleepover guests coughed up campaign cash while Bill was still in the Oval Office - flooding Hillary's 2000 Senate campaign with more than $620,000.
"FOBs are not necessarily FOHs," quipped University of Virginia political scholar Larry Sabato, referring to friends of Bill and Hill. "Think of the two of them - who's the one who collects friends? Bill."
In the late 1990s, Republicans and campaign watchdog groups lit into the Clintons for leveraging the White House and the Lincoln Bedroom as a fund-raising factory.
They accused Bubba of using the bedroom to reward Dem donors who doled out big ducats to the national party, Al Gore's presidential bid, and Hillary Clinton's 2000 Senate run.
.....Hollywood hotshots like Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan, Dennis Quaid and Will Smith, have kept their wallets closed. And former "Cheers" star Ted Danson, who forked over more than $10,000 to Clinton's first Senate run, hasn't given a dime to her this go-round.

Could it be Hollyweird has seen Hill's polling numbers?
ITS too bad the chicanery and skullduggery of this despicable pair will never come forth due the OLD LIBERAL MEDIA's suppressing their criminal 'antics'.

The prostitute is always more popular than the pimp.
Windows 3.11 in an Ipod world...
She's not called Hillabitch for nothing.
and...It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp!
#7 Good one!
Yeah, but it's not like she needs a lot of money to get re-elected in NEW YORK. If Giallani (sp?) would run, THEN she'd need money.
That probably is a factor, but more likely I think is the Cindy Sheehan flavor of loonie has soured on Hillery due to her positioning on the war, and they've shown themselves to be a bitter, politically unpractical bunch for the Dems. As she now herself to the right of them it will be interesting watching her try to tapdance back.

I hate mornings.
HIl doesn't need the money for the Senate race. Let's see what happens after the 2006 elections before drawing any conclusions.
Nope, the fools just don't know Mrs. Clinton has f.b.i. files on them all.
Perverts, pedophiles and most under psychiatric care, that's hollywood.
I was driving in the rain yesterday when I noticed the truck in front of me had a HILLARY 2008 bumper sticker. The guy in the other lane apparently noticed to, because he gave him some sort of hand gesture (snicker). The guy in the pickup started waving his hands and then drove into the back of the truck in front of him, which had stopped for the Red Light.
Clintons' pimp sleep overs in the White House.
"1,100 overnighters."!?!?!?
OMG!
Somehow a sleepover in Chappaqua or Georgetown doesn't have the same cachet as the White House.
