Hillary’s Debt

By Jay Newton-Small | @JNSmall | April 9, 2009 | +

Though as Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton has clearly moved on, it seems she is still trying to pay off her campaign debt. Below is a fundraising e-mail just received from James Carville. My favorite is the American Idol option — wonder how they scored those tickets?

Dear Jay,

I knew it was going to take an extraordinary effort to help pay off Hillary Clinton’s campaign debt. But now, I think we can do it and have some fun at the same time!
I won’t spend a lot of time trying to convince you to help Hillary. I know what she means to you, and I’m sure you know how important it is for her to have her campaign pay off all its obligations.

So let’s get to the fun part — enter today to win one of three truly once in a lifetime opportunities and you will also be doing something great to help finish off Hillary’s debt.

With a contribution today, one of these exclusive prizes could be yours:

  • Spend a day with President Clinton. Head to New York City to attend several interesting events with President Clinton followed by your own special New York City weekend.
  • Attend the American Idol season finale. You and a guest will watch live as the American Idol judges make their final comments and decisions on this year’s most anticipated season finale!
  • Want to talk politics with me? How about a spending a weekend in DC. You will have lunch with me and my great friend Paul Begala. We will talk about politics, you will get to tour all the amazing sites DC has to offer and who knows what else could happen!

Rest of the email after the jump

Make a $5 contribution today, and you could be on your way to one of these once in a lifetime opportunities!

Your contribution today not only gives you the chance at winning one of these fantastic prizes – it’ll also help our dear friend, Hillary Clinton, pay off the very last of her campaign debt.

This means a whole lot to Hillary, and I know she appreciates everything you do for her.

These amazing prizes are only being offered online and are available only for a limited time – so please don’t delay in acting today.

Sincerely,

James Carville

    Obama’s Persuasive Powers on Gay Marriage Manifest in Maryland

    When President Obama endorsed gay marriage earlier this month, the media grappled with two basic political questions: Was his personal “evolution” a case of a politician transparently following a national trend toward accepting same-sex unions (accelerated, perhaps, by his chatty No. 2), and would it hurt his re-election chances by alienating socially conservative voters like black churchgoers? Sure, there was a recognition that it marked a gratifying moment for gay-marriage advocates — as well as some grumbling about the President’s view that it remains a state issue, not a federal one. But by and large, there were few suggestions that one man, even the President, would shift public opinion on the issue or affect public policy. Based on a new Public Policy Polling survey out of Maryland, it seems this possibility was underestimated.

    Cherokee Zero

    Apparently, Massachusetts voters don’t mind that Elizabeth Warren foolishly identified herself as a Native American early in her academic career–it was, apparently, a case of family pride and wishful thinking about a Cherokee ancestor. That’s good. Warren may be the best public figure when it comes to explaining the depredations of the financial industry and [...]

    Just write a check already.

    who knows what else could happen! I think he’s hinting at a threesome…

    I do like that I would really enjoy 2 of those prizes though, it shows a bit of innovation.

  • Matt

    That was one seriously mismanaged campaign.

    And what about Obama’s pledge to help her pay it all off? Whoops…

    Carville lost all credibility, except maybe with the most extreme Clintonistas, during the primaries with his over-the-top accusations against other Democrats. I hope, for HRC’s sake, those die-hards are the target audience here or he’ll do more harm than good. I’d send some bucks, but not if Carville’s done the ask.

  • formerlyrainbow68

    I think this is a creative and fun way to help with a need.

  • adamjd

    How about option 3? A weekend in DC with Carville and his drinking buddy where “who knows what will happen?”

    Is this where he exposes himself?

  • Dee in Columbia MD

    If only she could assure me that not one penny of my contribution would go to pay off Mark Penn.

  • flacidcasual

    I think lunch and “who knows what else” with Carville and Paul Begala would be a good laugh, as long as Dick Morris doesn’t show up as well. I like my lunches Cajun style.

  • Ike Jakson

    I got the same email; and not the first request it was; enough to break any sacred heart. Obama must help her out before she breaks down when the next sniper aims her way. Or, goodness gracious me, what if she gets one of those 3 AM calls while she is pondering this debt burden. Shame on the family you Dem’s!

  • sacredh

    Ike: The h doesn’t stand for heart. It stands for Hussein. It’s a dig at the looney toon right wingers that started all the nonsense about Obama being the Messiah.

  • Ike Jakson

    Sorry sacredh, but we have a misunderstanding here. I am not a fighting man and look at the funny side of things; so let me clear that up. Your name was not in the comment when I placed mine; so although we have addressed each other in other Posts it was not the case on my side this time. The looney [if I may use your word] debacle of the Hillary finances amused me so much I was thinking of that song “achy breaky heart” to cause some mirth. We obviously differ [you and me] on some things but I don’t take all this stuff seriously; you mustn’t either, but that is up to you. OK? No offense, promise.

  • sacredh

    Ike: My mistake then. Despite my size and physical appearance, I’m not a fighting man either. Looking like an overgrown cop from Macon County has caused me enough grief to last a lifetime. I take very few things seriously. Most of my friend’s views are far closer to yours than to mine. No offense taken.

  • Ike Jakson

    Then I owe you my thanks and appreciation friend sacredh. I read somewhere in all these Blogs someone saying, “I am not here to argue, just to debate.” And I have often said and still firmly believe that differences are no reason to fight; they can be very constructive. Just think [there goes the cynical in me again] if we were all six foot tall with green beards and purple faces. I prefer it the way it is now. It goes you well!

  • sacredh

    LOL. Try 6’3″ in bare feet with a marine style haircut and a handlebar mustache. All I’d need is mirrored sunglasses and I’d be typecast.

  • sacredh

    Totally OT and indicative of nothing, but once when I still went into bars for an occassional beer after work when I was on 4-12, a drunk woman came up to my stool and put her hand on my arm. She said “I’m just love big hairy men”. I told her “Oh God, me too”. I hand my wedding ring on.

  • Ike Jakson

    I can’t even draw a matchstick picture of a man but I have good reason [life long experience] that I can visualize images in my mind. Art is not my field [mine is woodwork – as a hobby, and I know what to do with a piece of wood] but though I cannot create art I can visualize it and I can see you now. Thanks for your humor; I enjoyed that. And I won’t pick a fight because I am a little shorter and older. Nice meeting you. Maybe I should add and hope you take it with a smile as I have in my full but partially gray beard while I tap the keyboard, I had previously visualized you as a SHE because of the name. Over and out till we meet again.
