Taken from the BeeBeeSee:
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is offering the chance to spend a day with her husband Bill in exchange for help paying off her campaign debt.
The offer was sent to supporters of Mrs Clinton in an e-mail from her former campaign manager, James Carville.
Mrs Clinton owes $2.3m (£1.5m)from her run for the Democratic Party nomination for the presidency last year.
Bah, this woman is just made of fail. I’m sure we’ll have crowds of people who’ll say that she must have been smart enough to run for president. Wrong. Anyone can run for president if they have enough money. It’s a sad truth. Still, that’s not to say they’ll get office. You do need more then dough to actually get in there.*
On a related, but still relevant point, the next time someone says women are good with money, you can say that Clinton, still, to this day, owes $2.3m (£1.5m) from her run for the Democratic Party nomination for the presidency last year. I mean, I’m a guy, and I only owe my folks a few quid, how hard can it be?? :)
She was just too caught up in winning that she did stupid things. For example, when talking to the media at a press conference, she stated that she’d been named after Edmund Hillary – famous for surmounting Everest.
Sounds good, right?
Hillary (the climber) conquered aformentioned (<3 that word) mountain in 1953. Clinton was born in 1947, making her 6 when Everest was climbed. Before that, Hillary the climber was a beekeeper, virtually unknown, without any merit to his name.
* face palm *
Not only does she have those debts today, but Barack Obama helped Hillary clear some $10 million in debt owed to vendors who served her campaign for president. When she finished her campaign, she owed 22.5 million dollars in total. That’s more money then I’ll see in my lifetime!
Basically, this post isn’t actually all about lambasting Clinton, I just found it funny that she’s resorted to selling her husband to pay debts.
