Clinton White House sleepover guests who poured money into Hillary Clinton's first Senate campaign have been a lot less generous when it comes to bankrolling her reelection race this year.
The New York Post reports that that 40 percent Bill Clinton's 1,100-plus White House guests donated to Democrats including his wife while he was still in the Oval Office.
Renting out the Lincoln bedroom netted Mrs. Clinton's Senate campaign coffers a cool $620,000.
But this time around, less than 20 percent of the Clintons' guests have coughed up campaign cash for Hillary.
Hillary spokeswoman Ann Lewis said the fact that her boss could no longer rent out the Lincoln bedroom had nothing to do with the fundraising fall off, insisting, "Since so many of the people who stayed at the White House were personal friends of the Clintons, it is hardly surprising that many of them would also contribute to the [first] campaign."
So what happened to Hillary's "friends" in the intervening six years?
"FOBs are not necessarily FOHs," University of Virginia political scholar Larry Sabato told the Post, referring to friends of Bill and Hill. "Think of the two of them - who's the one who collects friends? Bill."
But even some of Bill's Hollywood friends have turned stingy when it comes to his wife's reelection.
Former "Cheers" star Ted Danson, who ponied up more than $10,000 for Hillary's first campaign, has yet to give her a cent.
White House sleepover guests Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan, Dennis Quaid and Will Smith are also AWOL from the list of Tinseltowners currently bankrolling Mrs. Clinton's reelection.
Others, like director Stephen Spielberg and funnyman Chevy Chase, are still standing by their man - by giving to his wife.
Hillary stalwart Jane Fonda gave $2,000 to help reelect Hillary - and has urged Mrs. Clinton to run for president.
By the way, Hillary Clinton will never be President of the United States.
I agree. And I'm betting BillyJeff hasn't stiffed Hill for years.
You posted that just for the title, didn't you?..........
It's always nice to read good news.
????????????????
who is getting stiffed by Clinton now? (-:
I really hope you are right in HRC will never be president!
How about Janet?
What a title. I wouldn't "stiff" Hillary with Bill's bent one. (Although it would be a first)
The only thing stiffing Hillary! is likely battery powered.
I don't think even Janet would try to climb the Hill.
Well: Its like this, If I see someone in need, i dont mind kicking in a few bucks, But when they look at hillary and see her sitting on 30 Millions of dollars and not facing any kind of real competition I believe they look at her and say, she has enough.
Dennis Quaid? I feel sick. Until 30 seconds ago he was one of my favorite actors.
Stiffing and Hillary should not be used in the same sentence.
Guess Bubba is running out of things to sell.
Just you wait, I'll get you, my Pretty!. Ah, ha, ha ha, ha!

Ann Lewis, the beast's spokesperson, is the sister of U.S. Rep. Barney Frank. LOL
