The one person in the U.S. who has extra cash

I urge you to read this superbly-written post by Riverdaughter. One of her final points surprised me:
If Barack Obama’s campaign ended up with a surplus, why am I *still* getting email from Bill and Dorothea Rodham asking me to help pay off Hillary’s debts? This is inexcusable. Hillary Clinton worked her ass off for Barack Obama during the general. Pay off her damn debts, you fricking Simon Le Gree!
It is amazing to me that you will still find Cheetoheads who find fault with the way Hillary funded her campaign, and yet they feel perfectly fine about both the amount of money raised by Obama and the downright crooked way he raised it -- through untraceable internet contributions and donors who repeatedly gave far more than allowed by law. If a Republican had funded his campaign in exactly the same way, how would the Kossacks have reacted?

By the way, here's Campbell Brown refusing to criticize Jon Favreau for his behavior in that instantly-infamous photo. Instead, Campbell chooses to go after -- you guessed it -- Hillary Clinton.

Hey Campbell: Remember that heartburn you got last week? Clinton did that. And remember the dog poop you stepped in a month ago? Clinton was walking her pooch there. Good thing Hillary will be at State, where she cannot worsen the economic crisis that she single-handedly created or the Global Warming crisis she and her husband engineered with their Tesla weather control devices.

As Gene Lyons reminds us, it's CDS now, CDS then, CDS forever!

Campbell only flies the feminism flag when she can stab a woman with it.
remember her "Free Sarah Palin" rant?

I posted this under Campbell Brown's column, but since comments are moderated I doubt they'll be published:

"Several things: First, Hillary Clinton has not released a public comment on this photo. The only comment so far came from a "senior advisor." Clinton is in a precarious position of having to confront her boss in public. The boss who has also been remarkably silent on this issue, but Miss Brown is not concerned! Last time Clinton addressed misogyny the media accused her of *whining.* Where was Campbell Brown? Where was Campbell Brown when Obama told Hillary she was "likable enough?" When was Brown when Obama supporters wore t-shirts that read "Bros before hos" at the Iowa caucuses? Where was Brown when Jack Cafferty said that Obama wants to run over Hillary Clinton with a truck? Where was Brown when Chris Matthews said Hillary's supporters were eunuchs and she only achieved what she has achieved because her husband cheated on her? Where was Brown when Keith Olbermann said that the only way to get Hillary out of the race was for a DNC delegate to go into a room with her and only he comes out? Where was Brown when the NY Times writes multiple articles on the cost of Sarah Palin's wardrobe and make-up? Where was Brown when people wore t-shirts that read "Sarah Palin is a C...." (The C word is spelled out.) Where was Brown when Alex Castellanos said on CNN, referring to Hillary Clinton, that it's ok to call some women "white b*tches" because that' what some of them are? Ahh, but now Miss Brown has found her feminist voice! Except that she's blaming Hillary Clinton? Shame on you Campbell Brown. It's time for you to move to MSNBC. You'll fit right in with your hatred of all things Hillary Clinton."

And let me repeat what I wrote about this photon The Confluence: this photo is pure rape fantasy. One frat boy is holding down a woman's head and shoves beer down her throat. His frat brother sexually assaults her.

If you'd like to send a little "love" campbell's way, here's her email addy:

I love how no comments have yet been printed at CNN responding to Campbell's latest CDS.

I responded yesterday with many of the same points DB mentioned. I bet many others responded in kind. Perhaps that's why NOT ONE comment has been OKed by CNN to print.

Poor Campbell. Such a hack. She's as big a disgrace as her dad, former Louisiana Insurance Commissioner (and convicted felon) Jim Brown. If only Campbell could be run out of CNN as easily as her dad was run out of office.

Thank you for this post, Joseph, and I love your comment, Edgeoforver. Where indeed was Ms. Campbell when it counted? Instead, she blames the victim.

I'm wondering if I can be angry anymore. It's just sad.

Weird. I thought Will Bower announced way back in July that the PUMAs had paid off Hillary's debt and had no need for help from Obama: http://clintondems.com/2008/07/will-bower-neil-cavutto/

Maybe somebody should tell Riverdaughter.

Hey there, Dark Gravity.

Indeed, that was the information that had been given to us back in early July... by sources we were trusting at the time.

These sources had told us that they had learned that information from a relative of Hillary Clinton's and from a member of her finance team. And there were even a few witnesses who had said that they, too, had heard the same information.

Even with all these sources and confirmations, it seems that this information was incorrect.
