1. I think we're on Bosnian-sniper-fire-gate today,
but I, too, sometimes lose track. That might have been only this morning.

2. I think we've moved from
"Passport-Gate" to "McCarthy-Gate" though I have trouble keeping up as well.

3. Conventiongate!! Denver Dems have no money for the Dem Convention
and they blame it on the Obama-Hillary slugfest scarying potential donors.

Is it true that people are saving money for Molotov cocktails for outside the convention center?

10. Looks like Transition and a reattempt at DamagedGate, EndorseGate, etc.. I
guess the new theme won't appear until Monday and they're on autopilot, grasping at straws.

Just LETTING THEM SINKGATE :-)

21. Help dry up Hillary's donar list-gate
Go thru her "debt owed" list and look to see what she is spending donors' money on. My fave so far: Build-A-Bear Workshop, Inc. Corporate Sales is owed 525.00....Boston Symphony Orchestra, Inc still owed $29,617.70

25. In these cases it's not the time frame that will screw her, it's the company/organization owed
Edited on Sat Mar-22-08 07:56 PM by rainbow4321
Build a Bear???? What is she building a replica of herself, or what?

Boston Symphony Orchestra?? What did she do, rent them out for a rally?


Women's Basketball Hall of Fame 1,248.90 I can't even dream up a scenario for this bill.



So after these weird expenses does she dare go begging people/donors for MORE money???

If the average American goes out and blows thru their paycheck on non-essentials/new expensive toys within a day of getting paid do they get to go to the boss and say "hey, I spent all my paycheck, can I have an extra paycheck"?

And that is what HRC is doing...gimme, gimme, gimme. Now that her expenses are public, look for donors to think twice when she comes begging.

Her campaign trail needs to be renamed debt trail. I have images of city officials cringing when they hear her camp has set up in their city. Not like the local economy is going to benefit from the CASH FLOW. They'll just be left with even more IOU's when her camp moves on to the next primary state!
