Bill Clinton offers himself as lottery prize to pay off Hillary’s debts

There are many ways to pay off campaign debts — cajoling phone calls, begging letters — but Bill Clinton believes that he has come up with a better method to wipe out the financial obligations outstanding from his wife’s failed presidential bid.

He is raffling himself. In an e-mail sent to millions of people who supported Hillary Clinton’s White House campaign, the former President asks: “How would you like the chance to come up to New York and spend the day with me?” For those who would like the One-Day-With-Bill prize, an online donation of as little as $5 (£3) will buy them the chance.

By 2007, seven years after leaving the White House, the Clintons had earned a combined $109 million (£73 million) through speaking engagements and bestselling memoirs. Even so, apparently they would prefer American voters to settle Mrs Clinton’s remaining $771,000 debt rather than paying it themselves.

Wasn't Zero suppose to raise money for PIAPS to pay off her debts? The Clintons are so cheap they do not want to pony up the remaining $771 K?

Did The Onion change its name to the London Times?

Unless you are a portly, buxom women, you need not apply.

I would laugh if I weren’t so busy being ill at the thought of Bill.

First Prize is one day with Bill Clinton. Second Prize is two days with Bill Clinton. Booby Prize is a week with Bill Clinton.

I’m sure that a lottery run by a high-integrity guy like Bill Clinton will be run fairly.

But why do you suppose he’s asking for sex, height, weight, and a full-body photograph from each entrant?

Maybe I will buy a few tickets then Bill can show me how to pick up skanks.

“How would you like the chance to come up to New York and spend the day with me?”

"Yeah, ladies, and after the day, we'll see what happens next, eh?"

[ravingnutter]

How tacky.

"the One-Day-With-Bill prize"

[Dutchboy88]

Is this not an illegal lottery?

[Frenchtown Dan]

A prize?
This sounds more like being sentenced for a crime to me.

"...The Clintons are so cheap..."

I read something last week that listed the Clintoons net worth at $30-35 million. I can't see how it is necessary for WJC to sell himself like this to pay off his old lady's debt.

Wonder if Chelsea saw this coming and figured that she'd better get out of Dodge before her dad pimped her out too.

Write the check and quit the waa-waaing!

[null and void]

This just in...

...Barney Fwank has the leading bid so far....

[Carley]

Don’t forget to send a picture along with your donation.

[null and void]

Booby Prize is a week with Bill Clinton.

Can you say booby on this thread?

[HighlyOpinionated]

GAG.

Who’s giving the winner a cigar?

How much $$ to get him and Hillary to leave the country and never come back?
