Sources say the diminutive movie mogul is motivated by jealousy because his old friend Bill Clinton now prefers the company of supermarket billionaire Ron Burkle. Geffen's animosity is also fueled by Burkle's attempt to buy the Los Angeles Times, which Geffen had wanted to purchase for himself.
... said one West Coast source. "Geffen is on a jihad right now."
Bill Clinton used to stay at Geffen's mansion (once owned by Jack Warner), but now he stays at Burkle's estate (the former home of silent film star Harold Lloyd) whenever he's in town.
Another Democratic source scoffed at Geffen's explanation for his disenchantment with Bill Clinton, attributing it to Clinton's pardon of tax fugitive Marc Rich while failing to pardon American Indian activist Leonard Peltier, who was convicted of murdering two FBI agents.
"I never believed the pardon was the issue," said this politico. "Geffen is looking for a platform. He's frustrated and bitter. He's got all these billions, but he's still trying to prove his relevance."

Burkle is really sticking it to the union pension funds.
Bubba is in for his piece ( $$$ millions per year ?).
The union members trust Bubba, Burkle, and friends...with their retirement money.
Which is a good reason to take all their money away from them.

I guess billyboy is too cheap to stay in a hotel. AND where does his SS stay while he's lollygaggling around in these mansions?
Whereever it is, me and you are paying the bill.
Anytime 'social' is used as an adjective, it means, "non-"
Hillary is old enough to have had her pigtails dipped in the inkwell.
Burkle sold Ralph's to Kroger years ago. He's no longer involved.
If I was Geffen I'd make sure I stayed away from Ft. Marcy park.
See my link in post #54. It's quite a tangled web.
"By psychopolitics our chief goals are effectively carried forward. To produce a maximum of chaos in the culture of the enemy is our first most important step. Our fruits are grown in chaos, distrust, economic depression and scientific turmoil.... With it you can erase our enemies as insects... Use the courts, use the judges, use the Constitution of the country, use its medical societies and its laws to further our ends.... create chaos. Leave a nation leaderless. Kill our enemies. And bring to Earth, through Communism, the greatest peace Man has ever known." ... Lavrentii Beria, Lenin University, in a 1933 address to a group of American/Marxist Psychology Students.
But he does own Wild Oats which he's selling to Whole Foods. Okay .. I got it. The only reason I liked Ralphs is the location to where I live, and they have a branch of my bank - which is convenient.
Thanks for the ping!
