Hillary wines and dines and raises big $ at home of News Corp. president...

[jefferson_dem]

Isn't that special?

...

A separate, Steven Spielberg-led cocktail reception brought Clinton to the home of News Corp. chieftain, Peter Chernin a more intimate event which one source said attracted Spiderman’s Tobey Maguire, actress Jodie Foster and comic actor Ben Stiller, who previously attended Hollywood’s 2/20 Barack Obama fundraiser.

1. Psssst before you look very foolish, look up Peter Chernin

He is a huge Democratic party booster that has given tens of thousands to candidates and the party.

[jefferson_dem]

9. Contributions to Mike DeWine and John McCain? Real loyal Dem there.

12. He's only excepting money from people's coin drawers.

Hmmm? Anyone care to look up Coin Star? They might be a right wing tool.

[SaveElmer]

5. A Democratic candidate attending a fundraiser put on by a Democrat...

How dare she!!!!

The nerve...we can't have Democrats raising money for Democrats!!!

It's outrageous!!!

[illinoisprogressive]

6. George Clooney and matt Damon today publicly endorsed obama. they are the cool guys

hillary gets old hollywood and obama get the new hollywood. The hip hollywood while hillary gets people like Striesand and the over 65 crowd

[Ethelk2044]

7. Obama really appeals to the younger crowd and the

40 ish generation

[ronnykmarshall]

16. Hmmm?

I'm 46 and I support Hillary.

So what's up with that?

[ElizabethDC]

17. Indeed

and I'm 20 and I support Hillary. Interesting . . . I guess we better switch our allegiances now.

[ronnykmarshall]

18. I guess we missed that memo, huh?

[ElizabethDC]

10. At one of Hillary's fundraisers yesterday she had

Eva Longoria, Christina Aguilera, Jeremy Piven, Heather Graham, Tobey Maguire and Penelope Cruz, just to name a few - none of whom are "Old Hollywood" or over the age of 65.

[ronnykmarshall]

14. Those old goats?

Please!

[President Jesus]

19. self-delete

[ronnykmarshall]

13. Hip Hollywood?

You mean like Paris Hilton and Lindsey "I take a hit off that" Lohan?

[ronnykmarshall]

15. Yeah!

Fuck those "old" people!

[Tellurian]

21. Why are Obama supporters getting so desperate?

Oh, I get it now:

Hillary Poll Leads:

June 1, 2007 South Carolina

Clinton 29.2%, Obama 20.8%, Edwards 10.7%

May 31, 2007 New York:

Clinton 42%, Obama 13%, Gore 13%

May 31, 2007Pennsylvania:

Clinton 33%, Gore 16%, Obama 13%, Edwards 11%

May 29, 2007Iowa

Clinton 31%, Obama 11%, Edwards 25%;

New Hampshire

Clinton 34%, Obama 15%, Edwards 18%;

South Carolina

Clinton 34%, Obama 18%, Edwards 30%

May 29, 2007

Clinton 35%, Obama 26%, Edwards 14%.

"The stability of her support has become the defining feature of the Democratic Presidential competition. In fact, over the past three months, the former First Lady’s support has stayed within three points of the 35% mark in every weekly Rasmussen Reports poll except one."

[hedgehog]

39. Where's the other 25%?

It looks like there are a lot of undecideds out there. If they're undecided now, I doubt they'll go for Hillary.

[doggyboy]

22. "the cool guys"??

Is that why I should vote for Obama?

[ronnykmarshall]

11. Was there cake?

I'm hoping they had some yummy cake.

[Captain Hilts]

30. And, if so, what shape was the cake and was anything scanalous written on it? nt

[zulchzulu]

23. Chill...

So she went to an event in Hollywierd...that's what you do when you run for President...

[ronnykmarshall]

24. Hollyweird ?????

How niiiiicccccceee!

[zulchzulu]

26. It was a jokerino, bubbatina...

[Tellurian]

27. Hey, Jefferson_dem..your cult leader called the attack off!

You really are a smarmy bit of shark bait! (addressed to zulu)

[zulchzulu]

37. Not sure what that means...

Me? Shark bait? Whuh?

:shrug:

[ronnykmarshall]

38. Not me

and I live there.

25. Rupert Murdoch supports HRC (DLC-Polls) too...

==Published on Tuesday, May 9, 2006 by the Financial Times
Murdoch to Host Fundraiser for Hillary Clinton
by Caroline Daniel

==Mr Murdoch will host the fundraiser, due to be held by July, on behalf of News Corp.

One person involved in the event said it reflected his views of her as a senator, rather than as a presidential candidate. “They have a respectful and cordial relationship. He has respect for the work she has done on behalf of New York. I wouldn’t say it was illustrative of a close ongoing relationship. It is not like they are dining out together.”

The decision reflects an assiduous courtship by Mrs Clinton and former President Bill Clinton. Last month Mrs Clinton surprised Washington by attending the “Fox News Sunday” 10th anniversary party, where she chatted with Mr Murdoch.==

==Mr Clinton has encouraged Mr Murdoch’s involvement with his Global Initiative and has invited him to speak again at the second forum in September. The former president will also address News Corp’s summer conference.==

==One media lobbyist said: “Murdoch will be for the Republicans but he is also smart enough to know that the Republicans might not win. At some level, whether nationally or in New York, Hillary is the future and what savvy businessman would not want to put a line of interest in someone who will be the future?”

Mrs Clinton’s campaign office declined to comment. ==

[Tellurian]

28. Well, yeah-

Even Murdock has to do some ass kissing..with all his millions...I love it!

Have him enter at the service entrance and call it a mistake.. :rofl:

[ElizabethDC]

31. He has said he probably won't support her in the '08 election. n/t

[draft_mario_cuomo]

34. "probably". The fact that Murdoch would even consider supporting her in 08' says it all about HRC...

[ElizabethDC]

36. Well, I don't recall the exact quote

he may not have even said "probably" - but he made it clear that he didn't expect to be supporting her.

[rinsd]

40. Show me where Murdoch has stated he is considering supporting Hillary in 2008

You BS smears by association grow tiresome.

[bvar22]

42. And if Murdoch can't have a REAL Republican, he'll take the next best thing,

HRC!

[Captain Hilts]

29. Candidates aren't supposed to raise money? nt

[autorank]

33. Murdoch thinks he can pull a bLiar here. And just apologize and it will all

be OK. We will NEVER forget Fox, never.

Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind...watch out for old Rupert. Heck, he even chased off his son.

[depakid]

41. "If elected, I will pander to the corprate media..."

just like my husband did- even though they hate me viciously and only support me now because they believe that I'm extremely vulnerable in the general election.
