[guest post by JVW]
Our embattled front-runner’s husband really isn’t one for self-awareness is he?
Bill Clinton gives a warm welcome to Russian punk band Pussy Riot.
Might as well let loose with the double entendres in the comments section.

redc1c4 (2b3c9e) — 3/9/2015 @ 4:01 pmwe’d still need a public that could read for content and think critically.
the last 30 years of public education has made that unattainable.
redc1c4 (2b3c9e) — 3/9/2015 @ 4:02 pmYou can’t shame the shameless.
And the only area in which there’s an indisputable first-place tie between the Clintons and Obama is in shamelessness.

papertiger (c2d6da) — 3/9/2015 @ 5:16 pmI just saw on a search engine link that I couldn’t backtrack to, some spox hole claiming that every time Monica Lewinsky was mentioned Hillary Clinton’s numbers went up.
The sad part is that the opposition bought that load of horse manure.
papertiger (c2d6da) — 3/9/2015 @ 5:26 pmIf Hil’s number went up everytime Monica was mentioned, Hillary would have put her on staff.
After what the Shrub did to the GOP brand, we were going to get a Democrat president in 2008. No doubt about it, say what you want about McCain*. God must not hate America as much as some fear, because he inflicted us with Obama instead of Hillary.
*Seriously, say what you want about McCain.

nk (dbc370) — 3/9/2015 @ 6:03 pmre #24: what I really remember about that conference was how well Clinton performed.
seeRpea (b6bbec) — 3/9/2015 @ 6:20 pmit reminded me of why so many people would just ignore everything and support his political carreer.
somewhat ironically, my late Mother who was a to the bone Democrat did not support him. She was actually the first person i heard refer to him as “slick”.

nk (dbc370) — 3/9/2015 @ 8:28 pmre #21: say what I want about McCain? even after the past 6 years, if I had to vote for either one I’d vote for the present PotUS.
and I was a huge fan of Palin before almost anyone outside of Alaska knew of her.
Back OT: if a poll is being taken , my vote is for #34. took me a few seconds to get where it was going.
seeRpea (b6bbec) — 3/9/2015 @ 8:56 pmI think Hillary’s riot involves lots of batteries. And air miles

I don’t think it’s a big deal that the Clinton Foundation receives donations from abroad.
carlitos (c24ed5) — 3/10/2015 @ 9:11 amThat’s no way to talk about Prince Bandar’s wife, carlitos.
It does matter when 95% of the broad’s donation are spent on “overhead” i.e. the Clintons’ lifestyle. That’s just plain laundering of bribe money.
nk (dbc370) — 3/10/2015 @ 9:23 amnk (dbc370) â 3/10/2015 @ 9:23 am
I think it’s 85%. But some of the remaining 15% is influence peddling too – contracts
Also the overhead includes salaries for people close to the Clintons.
Sammy Finkelman (a551ff) — 3/10/2015 @ 10:09 amPrince Bandar has now lost all of his official positions in Saudi Arabia – his National Security Council was even disbanded.
Sammy Finkelman (a551ff) — 3/10/2015 @ 10:10 am28. seeRpea (b6bbec) â 3/9/2015 @ 6:20 pm
That was a nickname he acquired in Arkansas.
By the way, I used to sometimes refer to him as S&Lick Willie.
Sammy Finkelman (a551ff) — 3/10/2015 @ 10:12 amI looked at their IRS Form 990 and it said nothing remotely like “95% of spending on overhead,” so maybe you could enlighten me then.
carlitos (c24ed5) — 3/10/2015 @ 12:24 pmBill’s ready to party. His ex just shot herself in the ass big-time and set him free at last!
mojo (a3d457) — 3/10/2015 @ 12:50 pmLike the 990 that’s on Page 22 of this pdf? http://www.clintonfoundation.org/files/clinton_foundation_report_public_9-10-13.pdf App $51.5 million in contributions received, with payouts of $18.4 million in salaries, $32 million in “other expenses”, and $8.01 million in grants? Even if it’s only 85% that sticks to the Foundation’s fingers, my main point is correct. The Clintons have a foundation for laundering bribes that they, their family, and their lackeys use to live on. They pay out a miserable pittance to “charity” to keep up their front. (Even if you count such things as the expense of bringing over the Russian lesbians as “charity”.)
nk (dbc370) — 3/10/2015 @ 3:09 pmI’d love it if our intrepid media would track down a few of the generous donors to the Clinton Foundation to interview and to determine what particular parts of the charity’s work most appealed to these contributors and made them want to be a part of the global initiative. You know, a nice little international human interest story.
elissa (f32ba2) — 3/10/2015 @ 3:22 pmFurther on that point:

Although the purpose of this Potemkin charity wasn’t merely to finance the Clinton’s luxurious jet-setting lifestyle. It was also to keep the core of the Clintoon political machine on retainer between campaigns.
Steve57 (b8061a) — 3/10/2015 @ 3:43 pmI can imagine the Sauds hearing “Pussy Riot” and nodding wisely: “It is indeed difficult to keep peace in the harem.”
nk (dbc370) — 3/10/2015 @ 3:52 pmnk, you really shouldn’t link that report, other than as an example of your inability to read financials.
I’m no defender of the Clintons, but the foundation does good work, and your lack of understanding of their disclosures doesn’t undo that.
carlitos (c24ed5) — 3/11/2015 @ 9:23 amNew Clinton Foundation Chief Blocked Conservative Women From Forming Group As University President
Good works?
papertiger (c2d6da) — 3/11/2015 @ 9:40 amre #49: okay carlitos , i’m game.
1st, and seriously, what “good work” does the Clinton Foundation do that would not have ben done without using existing Democratic/Progressive/Liberal charitable foundations?
ie: what justifies the costs of administrating yet another foundation?
2nd: what percentage of donations is going to the actual charitable cause?
3rd: how do the salaries and expenses compare to other foundations of similar size in grant giving?
seeRpea (b6bbec) — 3/11/2015 @ 9:54 amcarlitos, when I see contributions roughly equal to salaries and “other expenses” I will take your serious explanation of those figures seriously. Your “you don’t know how to read, nk” not so seriously.
nk (dbc370) — 3/11/2015 @ 10:00 amYou’re moving the goalposts. I didn’t say that the good works wouldn’t happen without other foundations. The work in Haiti, maybe though; that was a personal topic for Bill.
I don’t have time to go through this, but all of the info is in the 990. They are also operating from endowments, so it’s not just spending vs. income. And almost all of the “salary” is going to operations, not to executives.
carlitos (c24ed5) — 3/11/2015 @ 3:14 pmF*ck me!
een (7c1ab2) — 3/11/2015 @ 6:39 pmI LOVE that pic!
