Monday, Feb. 24, 2003 PAC Rat Hillary Boosts Her Favorite Charity: Herself!
A new analysis confirms what NewsMax reported last year: Sen. Hillary Clinton is spending most of the dough from her massive political action committee not on fellow Democrats but on herself.
The Washington political newspaper The Hill reported that stingy Clinton, D-N.Y., has the biggest federal PAC of any Democrat in Congress and spent $3.3 million last year ... but gave only 31 percent to other candidates.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., raised less than half as much but gave a generous 70 percent to other candidates, the New York Post reported today.
