Marco and Hillary’s Big Adventure
Marco Rubio showed his latin cred by talking about his Cuban refugee parents. He also scored points for upward mobility by mentioning that his father was a bartender – if you consider running for president to be upwardly mobile.
Hillary and Huma headed for the border – of Iowa. They stopped their Scoobie Doo van in Maumee, Ohio and made sort of a secreted sortie to Chipotle. They showed up wearing sunglasses and went unrecognized.
sort of a secret camp
Hillary Quits Shaky Foundation
Candidate Hillary announced her resignation from the board of the Clinton Foundation yesterday, leaving Bill and Chelsea holding the bag.
Hillary Self Server
Now that we know Hillary hid public information on her own private server, will her past scandals come back to haunt her? Maybe not.
Lois Lerner “lost” thousands of IRS emails when a server “crashed” and had to be put down. She seems to be weathering the storm so far.
EPA administrator Lisa Jackson kept a secret email account under the name Richard Windsor. Mr. Windsor won an award and now has a cushy job at Apple.
Patriotism
Rudy Giuliani has backed off his claim that President Obama doesn’t love his country. Rudy now says Obama really does love Kenya. Just kidding.
It was no big deal when Obama called Bush unpatriotic in 2008. It was all the rage then to say that dissent is the highest form of patriotism.
Jeb and Hillary Soaking up Cash
Jeb and Hillary, the consultant class favorites for 2016, are soaking up the cash. The idea being to bleed dry any upstarts like Scott Walker.
David Brock, the gun toting left wing political hit man who runs Media Matters, resigned in a huff from the board of the PAC, Priorities USA Action. Brock claims his enemies leaked this story to the New York Times revealing that he paid a 12.5% commission to Mary Pat Bonner to raise funds for Hillary. So far Bonner has taken a $6 million cut of Hillary’s action.
Apparently commissions are frowned upon in political knife fights.
Update: The Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Foundation now welcomes foreign contributions.
