For $1,000 You Can Enjoy “Cocktails With President Bill Clinton At Whitehaven
Drinks with ex-prez Clinton aren’t cheap
Generally speaking, even the bars on K Street lower their prices for happy hour as a lure for the work-weary to kick back a few and ease the stress of a long day.
So charging $1,000 for drinks might seem a bit steep, even for power drinkers enjoying bottles off the top shelf.
A fundraising e-mail from Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s (D-N.Y.) presidential campaign, however, is offering just that. For $1,000, attendees can enjoy “Cocktails with President Bill Clinton at Whitehaven.”
The e-mail, obtained by The Hill, said the Clintons’ Georgetown home on Whitehaven Street has “a handful of slots available” for those willing to pony up $1,000 to drink with the former president from 5 to 6:30 Wednesday evening.
The catch, other than the cost and possible liver damage, is that only those who still have money available to be used for the primaries are invited. In other words, the legions of Clinton contributors who have already maxed out will have to rely on their flasks and are not welcome Wednesday for drinks with Bill Clinton.
The invitation to primary contributors speaks loudly to the mad dash for cash the Clintons are engaged in with rival Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.) as the primary battle now looks to go even deeper into the states.

Now why would I spend $1000 for drinks with Bubba?
I can spend $1000 in better ways--on my bills, my kids and groceries and car repairs.
I can't just blow that kind of money that easily.
Plus I don't like Bubba, so why would I want to spend any time with him or his wife?

...willing to pony up $1,000 to drink with the former president ...
I would rather "pony up" with our Warriors returning from Shitcanostan.
Oh, Teddy does not have to worry about somebody slipping him a "Date Rape" drug.

One of the World's shortest lists - People the Clintons have not used, abused or pissed off.

Lynn, lol I agree. Politicing is expensive.

Bob yes all the hard working people that actually get out and vote sure have money to throw away on something like this.
Hahaha Good luck Bill and Hllary.

Steve, Bottom's Up, so true, who the heck would want or trust to have a drink with Bill Clinton and even worse Teddy Kennedy.

Tom LOL it sure would be, probably the tiniest likst in the world.

Trisih, yes it is just one of thosoe political things they do to raise money. Some idiots will turn up and pay this huge amount too just so they can say they were there. It is really stupid.

"So I wonder what he is charging for groping? yikes" - WT
Is that what all the fuss was the other day? MSNBC correspondent David Shuster was suspended for saying "Chelsea was being 'pimped out' by the campaign".

Obama is to the Clintons as Robespierre was to the French Court. They drank and flattered and thought themselves indestructible, while Robes' and his buddies were building the guillotines.

Odin what Shuster said was wrong, but it pales in comparison to what the elft has been saying about conservartives. Funny thing is I never even heard of the Shuster twit till Hillary drew attention to what he said and then the rest of the world knew about it. The whole thing was silly especially on Hillary's part. She acts like a dictator and is a very evil person.
