Clinton By Candlelight
Some 300 people gathered on Tuesday night at the Brentwood home of CAA's David O'Connor and his wife, Lona Williams, anxious to see the guest of honor, Bill Clinton.
Then the power went out --- in the entire neighborhood --- putting this Hillary Clinton fund-raiser into near total darkness.
The only light came from candles and some battery operated lanterns, which were shined on Clinton when he spoke in the backyard pool area. That helped, but it was still hard to see guests. And with no electricity, and therefore no microphone, it wasn't always easy to hear, according to a guest.
"There are a lot of great things about the modern world," Clinton said, according to the guest. "Predictable electricity may not be one of them."
Among those present, in addition to the hosts, were Steve Bing, Jerry Zucker, Ron Burkle, Frank and Carol Biondi and Gary Ross. Also present was Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, who you can only guess had to endure some ribbing about the DWP. CAA's Michael Kives introduced the former president.
Not that it mattered, as Clinton delivered his pitch without missing a beat, emphasizing his wife's chief attributes as "the most qualified non-incumbent of my lifetime." He talked of his willingness to do whatever she asked him to do, although he doubted that would be a cabinet post, citing federal anti-nepotism laws.
Fittingly, a big chunk of Clinton's speech was about energy policy.

These multi-millionaires can't even get electricity from the government. We want to turn over our health care to these same incompetent morons?

A Canadian member of Parliament who has a breast tumor came to America for medical care. The newspaper tries to say that this does not mean that she does not trust the Canadian medical system. This is insulting, but the people of Canada can't seem to figure this out.
Don't be ignorant, they do not want to live under the system they expect us to live under. It is only about personal power, We have it now, they want it.

Someone tell these rich geniouses about generator sets. I'm not rich but I have one.

Everytime Bill opens his mouth it weakens the nation as well.
Posted by: Willy Brown | September 19, 2007 at 06:36 AM
Are you seriously attacking their lack of generator use? And JoeS, are you suggesting that the rich hold some kind of bargain with the DWP that would allow them to keep electricity? Do you think that Then they would be qualified to legislate health care?
C'mon... let's have a substantive argument.
At least make your post worth your time - and mine.

Hillary during her health care czar days when Bill was President, show their true spots. Part of her health care plan was to force doctors into certain medical specialities that would benifit the general population. Imagine if someone told Edision he could not be an Inventor, but it would be better for the sick that he work as a nurse. We would be in the dark today, and sometimes I think we are when it comes to the Clintons.

If the Canadian Health Care system is so good at saving lives ... how come Americans don't run accross the Canadian border for treatment ...
No it's the Canadians that run accross the American border for treatment and HILLARY-SCARE will destroy our quality of health.
HILLARYISM == Envy of Corporate Profits.
Envy of Healthy People.
Envy of American Prosperity.
Envy of Power.
Nazism == Envy of Corporate Profits.
Envy of Jewish prosperity.
Envy of youth and health.
Envy of Power.
Not much difference between Hillaryism and Nazism. Unions and teachers voted for the NAZIS ... and Unions and teachers will vote for Hillary.

Is Bill that President who had sex with the chubby intern? Oh yes, that's how I remember that name.

i think the american people want to know how monica is doing these days. is billy willy still in touch? also, what was the definition of IS? lastly, who is hillarys current lesbian lover?

Joe S - In regards to your "Canadian MP Going to the US for treament". This was not an issue about trust. In fact, that type of treatment was only available in California.
Health Care Mania - You need professional help. You must work for drug company or you are some type of lobbyist to be so delusional. Thank God Canadians provide health care to ALL of their citizens, not just the ones that can afford it.
Get your facts straight.

David Vitter, Larry Craig... Should I keep listing the names of the right wing hypocrites. At least Bill admitted he was wrong. He isn't perfect, but at least he wasn't campaigning (or voting) on certain "moral" issues and then doing the complete opposite.
Cigars anyone?

Please let us get pass Nixon and Clinton, they are the detestable people whom we elected as president. We just need to remember never to do that again. As in Hillary, Obama, Kerry, and McCain. Obama reminds me of Carter. A do-nothing, screw-it up liberal. Lets have a real presidental election with Zell Miller, Lieberman, Newt Gingrich, Fred Thompson and Giuliani. Ok Lieberman is a stretch but I was having problems finding a decent Democrat.

Bill Clinton is the sorriest excuse for a President we have ever had;....over the last 25 years he is responsible for the downward spiral of our youths morals. My children grew up under his governorship....and (their)Presidency and the only one thing to identify him with is his immorality and the kids consider him a joke. What does it say about the adults of this country who can still be anamored by these two after the damage that was done in the 90's to the moral fiber of this country.
Wake up America...they are NOT what they seem.

There not just talking Health Care for all citzens That why they are calling it Universal. They are talking about giving it to illegals too while they leave the border wide open. Why don't we just name it Health Care for Mexico
Posted by: Paul | September 19, 2007 at 07:28 AM
SteveH, you have got to be kidding! At least Clinton admitted to it??? After 9 months of lying. Lying under oath to a Federal Judge. He was exposed when a wad of Bills showed up, that kind of identified the what 'IS' is in his no sex story. How about the other women that he assulted? The Bill and Hillary team put a squash on alot of those stories to keep them buttoned down. Made them out to be the bad guys 'er girls.
Posted by: Eagle | September 19, 2007 at 07:30 AM
"Why don't we just name it Health Care for Mexico?" Correction, Health Care for Aliens, that would include people from third world countries all over the world. We allow 1 Million legals into this country every year and the world has 6 million babies. Are we going to bring every sick person in to this country and support their health care?? We would have to start stacking them up in the Grand Canyon to handle the millions that would flood the borders every year.

THAT IS AWESOME, THE HYPOCRITE
Posted by: steve | September 19, 2007 at 07:48 AM
Who really turned out those lights? Karl Rove? Perhaps that darkly twisted genius Dick Cheney? Seems mighty suspicious...!
Interesting to note that on today's Drudge headline Hillary's "free" healthcare may mean mandatory purchase to quality for a job. Lights out on that one.

If you are not familiar with Tenn Care in Al Gore's home state then you should check it out before you vote.
Posted by: melinda | September 19, 2007 at 08:03 AM
No one in the U.S. is denied health care. Whether a person can afford health insurance is the issue. They say over 45 million are with out health care, but doe s not cover the folks who have chosen to purchase it themselves. AND I am sure that it does not take into account the folks who make sure that their cell phone and cable TV bills are paid to date.

Bill Clinton in the dark?
Instant Karma!!
Posted by: Mace | September 19, 2007 at 08:32 AM
I would only have one question for Hillary, does she know the meaning of the word, "is"? We know that the hillbilly that she married, didn't, so does she know it?
Posted by: Dave | September 19, 2007 at 08:34 AM
Hmmm, energy, energy...Like the kind you pull out of the ground? The kind the Clintons made millions on in a "blind trust" with investments in Halliburton. The kind that they demonize constantly now that they have fed from the trough and want to close it off for the rest of us. The Clintons are among the most corrupt power mongering Politicians on the Beltway.
