"My husband, much to my surprise, has made a lot of money"...

[yourguide]

Did anyone just see HRC say that on CNN just now? WTF...more lies, unreal!

[Yael]

1. Unbelievable.

[dkf]

2. For a Friday dump, I think this has a lot more legs to go.

[WillyT]

3. "Much To My Surprise" ???

What... she's not allowed to use the checkbook???

:wtf:

[TomInTib]

12. No, WillyT, he hid the cash in her old bookbag.

See?, it's really quite simple.

[WillyT]

14. LOL !!!

I hate when that happens.

Gonna go look in my old bookbag right now, and see if there's an extra $109 Million I didn't know was there.

:evilgrin:

:hi:

[TomInTib]

18. Let me know.

I can be there in about an hour or so to help you start spending it.

[WillyT]

20. LOL !!! - Deal !!!

:hi:

[hedgehog]

4. Hey - who knows him better than Hillary? She was always the breadwinner

in the family!

[LaurenG]

5. Well maybe she was busy and he and his money were in Aspen

you never know. That part could be true.

[Divine Discontent]

6. wow... talk about a lousy attempt at trying to act surprised about making $ off the office EOM

[billyoc]

7. The monopolies Clinton set up during his presidency have enriched him personally?

I am shocked. Shocked, I tell you!

[TomInTib]

8. She is going to just explode one of these days.

That is bizarre.

Maybe she really didn't know because he hid the cash in her old bookbag.

[jgraz]

13. hee hee ... bookbag

And another running Clinton joke is born.

[MonkeyFunk]

9. gee, it couldn't be a little joke, could it?

you guys are more pathetic with each passing day.

[redqueen]

32. That's exactly what I was thinking.

It must be a joke.

*sigh*

[roguevalley]

43. you would help your cause, monkeyfunk, if you actually said something

other than an insult to things like this. when you run out of arguments, insults follow. but hey, you don't have to listen to me.

[jgraz]

10. Seriously, how stupid does this woman think we are?

Can someone PLEASE get her off the national stage? Please?

[whistler162]

11. WOW.... she wants to be President...

and she has no concept of her families finances!

YEAH RIGHT!

[XemaSab]

15. She's just a little woman

I'm sure her husband gives her 200 a month for house money... what more does she need? :shrug:

[greguganus]

46. She is an embarassment to the country. Just like Bushboy. n/t

[yourguide]

16. Can't see you #9

:hi:

[greguganus]

47. LMAO..I can't see "Client #9" either! n/t

[WinkyDink]

17. Sounds like a bit o'humor.

[kwenu]

19. Maybe he's spending it something other than Her.

[shain from kane]

25. Or someone?

[futureliveshere]

21. She was just trying some humor and made a mess of it, as usual!! Sleep-deprivation does that.

[ruggerson]

22. Some of you are truly living on another planet

[yourguide]

23. ???? Did you actually see it...

or are you talking out of your tuckus again?

[Zachstar]

24. And stupidity.

The more she brings these subjects up, The more PA gets to hear about it.

[hisownpetard]

26. I think Bill kept the money in the same drawer where he kept his cigars...

and that's why she didn't know a thing about Monica Lewinsky, either.

[jgraz]

27. I thought he kept his cigars in a box

:hide:

[hisownpetard]

29. Only one at a time. He kept the bulk of them in the drawer, along with all the money he earned

that she didn't know about, either - Oh, and the picture of Vince Foster that he stole from Hillary's desk.

[roguevalley]

44. keep it focused on the candidate, children. focusing on bill undercuts

your point. this is about her. (mostly) Her judgment, her actions.

[hisownpetard]

45. We got yelled at.

[greguganus]

49. lmao...wonder if anyone else got it n/t

[jenmito]

28. YES! Yet another lie. "Much to my surprise..." Is she married to him in name only?

THAT would explain it!

[Big Blue Marble]

30. She signed their joint tax return every year.

She knows exactly how much money they were reporting to IRS.

[JayFredMuggs]

31. Far be it from her, as a U S Senator to have an understanding of the tax return she signed

But, that's just me!

I understand MY tax return, and what GROSS taxable income is... she just doesn't?

[Big Blue Marble]

35. We both know that as an attorney and a US senator

she understands the significance of signing her tax return. As careful as she is,
I am sure that she would go over it with a fine tooth comb prior to taking the responsibility
of signing it. And if she didn't, how can she argue that she is competent to be president?

Of course her answer above is classic Clinton. It is designed to distance her from her husband's
income. After all she has been so busy working for the people. How would she possible "know" what
her husband was doing? Perhaps that sort of thing appeals to her base of older women.

[redqueen]

34. That's a big clue that she was joking, isn't it?

:shrug:

[retread]

33. My wife is surprised when I make ANY money. n/t

[PoliticalAmazon]

36. It seems a lot of what Bill does is a big surprise to Hillary. Not very observant... n/t

[1776Forever]

37. Reminds me when she was against the Dubia Ports deal & Bill was pushing it!!!

Doesn't either one of them talk to the other? And if they do, is either one of them listening?

'Having Dinner with the Right People': Bill Clinton, Jack Kemp, and How Money Is Clouding the Ports Deal Debate

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/arianna-huffington/having-dinner-with-the-r_b_16897.html

(snip)

Consulting deals, investment deals, equity deals... port deals. They are all part of the same money-as-political-lubricant continuum. Policy KY. "It's just having dinner with the right people."

People like Bill Clinton who, we learned last week, had advised the UAE on the ports deal. I can't help but wonder if that advice was in any way colored by the millions (the exact figures are still not in) Dubai has given to Clinton -- in speaking fees and donations to his presidential library. And then, as Lloyd Grove reports, there is Clinton's lucrative relationship with Ron Burkle's private investment firm, Yucaipa, which has partnered with Dubai in bidding on some major investment deals. Money clouds on both sides of the aisle.

That's why transparency is so important on matters like this. Jack Kemp, Bill Clinton, and the establishment's cost-benefit analysis of the Dubai ports deal is clearly different than yours or mine.

Pocketing millions may allow them to overlook the very real risks the deal brings. For the rest of us, we have to ask ourselves: is even the slightest increase in risk to our security worth it?

The answer for those of us not on the receiving end of the UAE's largess remains a resounding "No!"

[Cha]

38. hilary's always the last fucking

idiot to know.

[unblock]

39. oh come on people

i'm in the obama camp at this point and really want this to be over, but really, this was an obvious bit of self-deprecation on the part of the clintons.

oh and by the way, whatever bad you think of hillary, MCCAIN IS WORSE!

[TexasObserver]

40. She'll be ready to spread that kind of manure on Day One.

I've always known she was a sellout, but I never realized until the past two months that she's a pathological liar.

[mrJJ]

41. speeches don't put food on the table

Feb 19, 2008:

Hillary Clinton says "speeches don't put food on the table!"

Bill's speeches sure as hell put food on their table! $51 Million Dollars worth

Anyone think that Hillary knew she was lying? or perhaps mis-spoke err maybe she forgot about the $51 Million.

OK surprised... LOL

[dansolo]

42. One of my few times I will defend Hillary

I think you are taking her line out of context. I read it that the surprise was not that he has made the money, but that he was ABLE to make that kind of money. I little disingenuous, perhaps, but only a minor gaffe.

[thewiseguy]

48. Did she not look at the tax forms before yesterday?

[quantass]
