Hillary Absorbs $13.1 Million Campaign Loan
New York Times ^ | December 22, 2008 | Michael Falcone

Posted on 12/23/2008 4:48:57 AM PST by IbJensen

First, it was the disclosure of the contributors to her husband’s charitable organizations, then a rollback in salary for her new job because of an obscure clause in the Constitution, and now as Hillary Rodham Clinton prepares to make the transition from senator to secretary of state, she has written off a $13.1 million loan of her own money to her presidential campaign.

According to fillings with the Federal Election Commission, Mrs. Clinton forgave a total of $13,175,000 in personal funds that she lent to her campaign during the Democratic primary, plus interest.

Even so, Mrs. Clinton still owes millions to vendors, including her former top strategist, Mark Penn. Mr. Penn’s remaining fees represent the single biggest line item on the list of the senator’s unpaid debts, amounting to more than $5.3 million of almost $6.4 million remaining on the books as of the end of November.

...her mother, Dorothy Rodham, sent an e-mail appeal for donations to help ease her daughter’s campaign debt.

Here is a , pardon the expression, woman who while campaigning in upstate New York ate TWO breakfasts at a diner and walked away without paying or tipping.

HRH left the chore to one of her campaign underlings.

The state department will take on an aura of a Hapsburg Palace with the queen bee buzzing around her 1/4 acre office acting like a secretary of state.

Hitlery won't disgrace the office any more than her predecessors have. The only thing I wonder is where her squeeze, Whoami Abeddin, going to be domiciled?

Don’t feel sorry for Mrs. Clinton. Together they have stolen over a hundred million.
Both Clintons should be in Leavenworth.

“Absorbs” Hmmmm..... I like the sound of it. I guess I'll just “absorb” my money from now on instead of paying my bills.

...because of an obscure clause in the Constitution

I expect before the year 2009 is out, that this line will be used over and over again, when it comes to pushing forth the socialist agenda. Any "clause" that hinders the movement will be simply trashed and then accepted as the new norm. The fact that "records" can be sealed, from birth to education to political and social activities from the American public when electing a President should give you an idea of what will be the new norm.

You're right.

The so-called Progressives (newspeak for communist fascists) will beat us over the head with our Constitution until it is FINALLY broken to pieces and the angry populace finds a leader and then comes the revolution.

I saw that list posted on this website some time ago.

The official name for that pile of concrete:

"The Clinton Library and Massage Parlor".

Hey, it’s only right.

After all, Bill’s been “stiffing” folks for years. Hitlery figures it’s her turn.

Isn’t that too good for them? How about that place where the bed is poured concrete?

Another Christmas feelgood story. These tales just make you feel warm and fuzzy. What is that about 10 speeches by her “husband”?

Pray for W, America and Our Troops

The Clintons held a series of fund-raisers to try to pay down the outstanding campaign debt, and Mr. Obama has also been urging his supporters to help out with contributions. Earlier this month, America Ferrera, star of the ABC program “Ugly Betty” made a guest appearance at a Clinton fund-raiser in New York.

Too bad these people can't see fit to put their star power and name recognition to good use, like raising money for truly needy people and/or worthy causes.

Hard to feel sorry for the woman with $100 million in the bank who tried to bulldoze her way (back) to the White House.

I don’t think it will drive her to the poorhouse. We still don’t know whether Marc Rich actually gave to Clinton from the $250 million he had established as the fund to get his pardon.
