Why Isn't Bill Clinton Hosting $1,000 A Plate Dinners?
The god damned Republicans do it ever single day, why don't some of the Democratic luminarys step up to the plate and raise some of that big money for the candidate and the party?

2. I think he should
Bill, as a private citizen, may do whatever the fuck he pleases. He obviously doesn't care when people criticize him, because he must be used to it by now.

3. I got 2 emails from Bill Clinton asking me for donations to the Prez GE
campaign.

I'm preparing my reply -- "Kerry spokeswoman Kathy Roeder said that money doesn't win elections, so he doesn't need our money. He can take out another mortgage on his mansion, should he need funds."

4. Well, Not Only Bill ....
There are many great Democrats out there and it sure doesn't have to be a grand for a potato and chewy chicken either. My point is that all this internet fund raising crap is nice but there's a ton of money to be had and we sure as hell need it to combat that unlimited funds of the god damned Republicans.

Bill Maher said it so well on Larry King's show the other night. Bush isn't limited to the couple of hundred million the Republican slime have in hand. That son of a bitch has, and is using, the full treasure of the United States of America and all of its resources of debt as well for his election. Point that one out to you Republican friends, if you can stand to talk to them.

5. I went...
...to a fundraiser he did for his Foundation here in NYC, at a club...paid $250 to meet him, get my photo with him, and listen to him talk for about 45 minutes....he is freaking great, he talked about so many different topics, and not a piece of paper in front of him...the man is just plain smart...it was a real treat...will happily do it again.
