A charity run by Czech supermodel Petra Nemcova donated $500,000 to the Clinton Foundation in 2014 after Bill Clinton agreed to accept a lifetime achievement award from the organization. The New York Times reports [emphasis added]:
To commemorate the 10th anniversary of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, Petra Nemcova, a Czech model who survived the disaster by clinging to a palm tree, decided to pull out all the stops for the annual fund-raiser of her school-building charity, the Happy Hearts Fund.
She booked Cipriani 42nd Street, which greeted guests with Bellini cocktails on silver trays. She flew in Sheryl Crow with her band and crew for a 20-minute set. She special-ordered heart-shaped floral centerpieces, heart-shaped chocolate parfaits, heart-shaped tiramisù and, because orange is the charity’s color, an orange carpet rather than a red one. She imported a Swiss auctioneer and handed out orange rulers to serve as auction paddles, playfully threatening to use hers to spank the highest bidder for an Ibiza vacation.
The gala cost $363,413. But the real splurge? Bill Clinton.

The great charitable contribution they make through their hard work, generosity and spirit of altruism through their Foundation demonstrates why I believe all is all right with America in the world.
These two selfless icons of philanthropy, Bill and Hillary, a marvelous couple in their own right working side by side happily married and so in love all throughout these years demonstrates that despite their stratospheric position in society, and the ever increasing toll their charitable work takes on their busy hectic lives, this former and future president remain forever humble in the knowledge that they have been blessed to give to others less fortunate through the spirit on which their Foundation was established.
"The suffering of the less fortunate remains constantly in the forefront of my mind and conscience" hillary said softly as she shed a tear, while Bill simply smiled and gave her a great big hug.
But this latest act of heroism in homage to Bill had him accepting $500,000 in the name of the Foundation under the condition he would accept a lifetime achievement award from the organization had me standing tall,feeling both proud and humble that America’s best days are still ahead of us just knowing that there are heroes, real, true heroes to be found everywhere across this great land and that Little Rock has done its part to show how very true that happens to be.

Remember Paula Jones?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paula_Jones
Special note to Hilda-beast, (AKA: Mrs. Bill Clinton), “These two selfless icons of philanthropy, Bill and Hillary, a marvelous couple in their own right working side by side happily married...”
According to Jones’s account, on May 8, 1991, she was escorted to Clinton’s (then Governor of Arkansas) room in the Excelsior[3][4][5] (now Little Rock Marriott) Hotel in Little Rock, Arkansas, where he propositioned and exposed himself to her. She claimed she kept quiet about the incident until 1994, when a David Brock story in the American Spectator magazine, printed an account. Jones filed a sexual harassment suit against Clinton on May 6, 1994, two days prior to the three-year statute of limitations, and sought $750,000 in damages.[6]
Why are they not shunned and rotting in prison? Sigh, rhetorical question.
Damn! Way too early in the morning to be reading that bilge - where is that from? I feel like I just ate a crap sandwich for breakfast....
Nice summary of the wonderful work done by the Magic Couple. Also nice to see further proof that sarcasm is an actual fluid that can occasionally be seen dripping from an FR post.
And yet there are millions of people who will gladly cast their vote for Hillary. I am truly dismayed at the thought of up to eight years of a second Clinton administration.
Heard Rush talking about this yesterday.
Seems the charity collected $60,000 in donations.
A negative income event.
This is a picture of Paula Jones. Under no circumstances is the young lady you posted the same woman in the picture above.
This girl is to counter the damage done from your pic. :)
More CLINTON CORRUPTION. This couple has been as crooked as a hound dog's leg since (and before) they came out of the hills of Arkansas.
Was $500,000 the "quid" or the "quo?"
Was accepting the honorarium the "quid" or the "quo?"
If the event didn't raise at least $500,000 plus $.01 because that corrupt rotting carcass zombie rapist was there, someone had to have been fired. Then no otherwise functioning adult would ever again donate another $.01 to that charity.
I didn’t know who she was but putting her in made the story entirely worthwhile. :-)
Considering all the smiles on Bill’s face the last couple years, it’s likely that others are bribing him with more than money.
The Wash/Post reports Hillary earned $11.7 million for 51 speeches since Jan 2014.....she pocketed an astonishing $625,000 for two speeches in one day!
I firmly believe the Clinton Foundation's gigantic donor list, and their astonishing blizzard of speaking honoraria, are a smoke screen for their secret wealth----and the way they make billions sub rosa---intertwining their vaunted "charity" work and public office.
The calculated Clintons have sought to branch out into other business activities......though little is known about the exact nature and financial worth of Bill and Hillary’s non-speech business interests.
Recent reports indicate the Clintons were party to multi-billion dollar Mideast arms deals....Kazakhstan uranium mines....and Haitian gold mines...
THE CON ARTISTS SOLD EVERYTHNG THAT WASNT NAILED DOWN---Lucrative business interests were cunningly intertwined w/ their Foundation's "do-good" activities....and enabled by Hillary's catbird seat at the State Dept.
===============================================
TAXPAYERS DEMAND LAWS WHICH PREVENT POLITICAL APPOINTEES FROM FORMING FOUNDATIONS THAT SELL OUT AMERICAN INTERESTS---Obama's still in office and has two Foundations (that we know of)---ready to cash-in like the Clintons.

Well, that certainly explains it (breathes a sigh of relief). Really nice to know the cash-strapped public university wasn't party to the greedy Clintons sucking-up a-n-o-t-h-e-r $500,000 (/sarc).
BTW---how did the Clintons handle the $500,000 on their tax-exempt foundation disclosure forms and on their tax returns?
