Baby boomer and former president Bill Clinton is laying plans to celebrate his 60th birthday in grand style with a charitable fundraising extravaganza in New York late next month that will include an invitation-only concert by the Rolling Stones and contributor packages that run to $500,000.00 and higher.
Clinton's daughter, Chelsea is serving as co-host of the three-day party. She will host a Saturday brunch on a weekend that also features a golf tournament at the Bayonne (N.J.) Golf Club, multiple receptions and a dinner at the American Museum of Natural History with the former president, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) and Chelsea.
The 2,100 invitations began arriving this week. Weekend packages start at $60,000.00 (Hint: $1,000 for every year of Clinton's age). Next is the "Vice Chairman Package," for those who contribute $100,000.00 or raise $250,000.00
Those who pledge $500,000.00 or more will receive the "Birthday Chair Package," which includes the "Backstage Pass" dinner and photo with Clinton and platinum seating at the Saturday dinner and the Stones concert.
The Rolling Stones will perform at the Beacon Theater, an art deco landmark on upper Broadway that seats about 3,000 people.
According to the invitation, the concert will be taped for an upcoming Martin Scorsese movie about the band.
Clinton turned 60 in August but organizers delayed the birthday fundraising event until late October to avoid any complaints from other Democrats that solicitation of money for the former president's foundation would soak up money that could otherwise be used to try to win back the House and Senate in November.
The proceeds will go to the William J. Clinton Foundation, the umbrella organization that oversees the Clinton HIV-AIDS initiative, the Clinton Global Initiative and several other programs launched by the former president since he left office almost six years ago.

Slick or "Sick" Willie has managed to reach or retch 60 thru the ability to dodge a whole lot of dirty deals he has perpetrated against his fellow citizens and yet, still loves to act the martyr. Good God, is there no depths this guy can attain.
Oh, I thought they delayed it to avoid upstaging 9/11 commemorations. My mistake.

It's just embarrassing.
Hey! I just ate two Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage sammiches. That photo just brought them right back up!
an intern?
Thank you. FReepers have a ton of photos and cartoons that accurately depict the Hate America First crowd.
How can his dear friends in Harlem possibly afford this?
Sure they will. He's spent more time celebrating his 60th birthday than he did hunting for bin Laden.
Still waiting for my invitation - mails must be slow this time of year.
The word that keeps coming to me is OBSECNE!
He is KING, KING of the Whoremasters.
Lets start posting them all over FR to get everyone the message "WE DON'T WANT CLINTON IN THE WHITE HOUSE"
Who's in charge of bringing the fat chick?
By the way, the KING is this man:
Thank God his birthday isn't August 17th - that's my son's birthday...Boy, I didn't know how lucky I was to have had him on time until now!
:-)
When has Bill Clinton EVER cared about anything except himself?
Remember his never-ending departure from the White House in 2001? Like Mr. Peanut Carter, this clown will never get off the stage.
