$1,000 A Plate and All I got was This Piece of Bacon
Ah - MrsSatan had a fundraiser. I'm sure it was a festive breakfast! Let's carve this up with a scalpel, boys.
"A thousand-dollar-a-plate fundraising breakfast..."
""I was just honored to meet her," said a teacher. "She was very natural and sincere. She posed with the kids for pictures. I just think she's a very special person."
On speculation she will run for the White House (bolding mine):
"She was in Minnesota, she's heading to Wisconsin, she went to the Seventh Day Adventists religious convention (*) the other day. You've just gotta track it. She's ready. She is running hard for President," said [Tim] Russert.
Just after noon, another fundraiser at the Buffalo Convention Center, courtesy of the Erie County Democratic Committee. Cameras and reporters not allowed.
Why no press? "Y'know, that's just the way we wanted it," says Democratic Chairman Len Lenihan.
"You would have liked us in yourself, I'll bet," says Kellman.
"Y'know what," he responds, "I think we made the right decision in closing it."
Several of those attending told us they didn't know why we were kept out. In any case, if Senator Clinton jumps into the Presidential race officially, she be [sic] followed by lots of reporters and camera people wanting to be whereever she is.
Whaaaaaaaaat? No Press?! Was there some kind of blood sacrifice on an altar, or - something even more devious? And, even though I still catch typos I've made on posts from my archives, (and I correct them), I can't believe the "News 2" team hasn't caught "..she be followed by lots of reporters....".
We can estimate that one third of voters will vote FOR her. And we can presume at least another one third will be adamantly against her. So who's left to court? The last one third. Or those "Undecided" until the last minute, or those who are decided but claim to be undecided.
Why isn't the press asking her any questions about the Ed Klein book? Is that why the press was shut-out? Will the press ask her the hard questions as toughly as they press the questions on Abu Ghraib or Gitmo? Yeah, and Kofi Annan has a used Buick for sale that you really want to think about buying.
