Will There Be Money Leftover for Hillary??

This hasn't been the best week for Hillary Rodham. She's very quickly losing her lead in the race for support from the Democrat Party. Then she's just now finding out that the people she thought were her friends in Hollywood aren't that excited about her campaign. Have you heard about this Tale of the Three Hollywood Moguls? Wait... wait... you remember how tied into Hollywood the Clintons were in 1996, right? David Geffen donated $800,000 to Bill Clinton's Presidential Foundation in 2000.

Now hear this: Three of the entertainment industry’s biggest names – DreamWorks studio founders Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen – have turned to Senator Barak Obama as the candidate of choice for 2008. These three moguls hosted the private Beverly Hills fundraiser for Obama, and checks from Hollywood’s A-list of stars – including George Clooney, Eddie Murphy and Barbra Streisand – added up to a one-night take of $1 million. Do you think Her Majesty the Queen of Liberalism took it personally?

Oh, Hillary was furious! She even had her campaign staffers ring up Geffen personally from the offices in New York. Apparently, Geffen assured her there would be "money left over" for her campaign, too. Hilarious!! Rodham is eating Obama's leftovers. When asked if he thought Obama could stand up to Hillary's war machine, Geffen replied: "I hope so... because that machine is going to be very unpleasant!" In the immortal words of Charles Dickens: It was the best of times, it was the worst of times... I love these politically entertaining times!!

In all fairness, I must tell you that I support StopHillaryPAC - and have for the last year. They are currently fundraising in order to run a television ad. See the ad on the website.
