Lottery being used to pay Clinton campaign debt

Posted By P.J. Aroon Friday, April 10, 2009 - 3:01 PM Share

The Hillary Clinton for President campaign recently sent an e-mail asking people to buy $5 lottery tickets to help pay Clinton's $6 million presidential campaign debt. Three of the prizes you can win:

  • A day in New York with Bill Clinton
  • A trip to the American Idol finale in Los Angeles
  • A tour of Washington with James Carville and Paul Begala

Good Lord. Only the third

Good Lord. Only the third option sounds like fun (and only because you could bug Carville and Begala, and probably get free food out of the deal). A day in New York with Bill Clinton? A trip to the American Idol finale? Bleh!

And what's wrong with a day

And what's wrong with a day in NY with Bill? I think it's gallant of him to offer- you know he'll be bored out of his mind!

lol. Carville and Begala are

lol. Carville and Begala are such good friends to the Clinton's. Damn Bill, get a job! Hil can't be the only one working! She's got bills to pay!

This whole tacky donation/lottery thing started with Oshady and his corny crew, I'm sad to see the Clinton's adopting that style. Either way, Hil was awesome to go all the way in the primaries, rackign up millions of debt the whole time, even knowing that the media was going to put Ojackass in come hell or high water. I think I'll donate one last time. Thank you Hil.

I'll bite!

There are a few topics I would not mind addressing with Bill.

I agree, he doesn't deserve

I agree, he doesn't deserve it, but a deal's a deal, and I'm sure she'll honor her end of it.

I chose Bill. We can spend

I chose Bill. We can spend the day conspiring to take back the party. That's the issue foremost in my mind. The more time I spend in the sandbox with the Republicans and neocons, the more I miss my Clinton Democratic Party.
