So what if Bill Clinton tied New York traffic in knots just over a month ago with the Clinton Global Initiative Conference? And who really cares that his real birthday was more than two months ago?
The price of entry for the weekend’s festivities is a gaudy reminder of slushier times in the 1990’s. With money going toward a growing endowment for the William Jefferson Clinton Foundation, donors will have to cough up $60,000 if they want to want to see Mick Jagger sing at the Beacon Theatre and at least $100,000 for poached eggs and mimosas with Bill and Hillary at Pastis.
The exclusive list of event “hosts” includes the names of historically top-ranked Democratic donors like longtime Clinton contributor Ron Burkle and S. Daniel Abraham, the former owner of Slim Fast Foods, who was ranked in 2000 as the No. 1 donor to the Democratic Party.
Steve Bing, the real-estate heir and film producer who is the father of Elizabeth Hurley’s son, is listed as a co-host. As is Haim Saban, the former owner of the Fox Family Network and a former member of Mr. Clinton’s export council.
Also attending will be Chicago media mogul Fred Eychaner; Lebanese businessman Gilbert Chagoury; Alison Lawton and gold tycoon Frank Giustra; Gateway founder Ted Waitt; West Coast entertainment executive Casey Wasserman and his wife, Laura; and longtime Clinton friends Susan and Mark Weiner.
“They’ve overdone things in September and October,” said another Clinton contributor who was invited to take part in the weekend of activities. “I think it’s a lot of out-of-towners who are coming to this, anyway. I don’t play golf and I don’t go to Rolling Stones concerts, so I’ll just go to one of the dinners.”
Others, citing a planned $1,000-a-plate fund-raiser on Oct. 26 for Hillary Clinton at Tavern on the Green, are complaining of a form of Clinton fatigue.
“I’m on Clinton overload,” said one contributor. “I’m not really wanting to do this. I’ve been tight with the Clintons for many years, but I’m beginning to feel used.”
Every dollar these morons dump into the bottomless pit of Bubbatude is one dollar that does not go to the DNC. Bubba once again pees on all his friends, by drying up all the Democrat money just before Election Day.
I swear, sometimes, I think this guy is a Republican deep-cover plant.
What a great retirement idea. Bill and Hillary could open up a bed and breakfast.
“I’m on Clinton overload,” .........
And have been since his Dukakis nomination speech in 1988!
The only "Clinton" stuff I want to see is the great info kcvl, Mia T and Alamo-Girl post to expose these creatures.
New Yorkers could help us out by sending Spencer to Washington and Mrs. Clinton into oblivion.

Clear evidence they've gone to the trough much too often.
