I don't begrudge Hillary her millions......
It takes a lotta dough to keep a full-time
tailor on the campaign to periodically
"let out" her pantsuits on a weekly basis
as she eats her way from city to city. She
must have put on 20 pounds since she "found
her voice". She found her appetite @ the same
time. I guess "Reubenesque" is the PC
term for her growing "stature".

What about Chelsea's tax returns? I'm sure
she gets birthday "gifts" from the Sheik of
Dubai, the Sultan of Oman, the Potentate
of Burkle.....etc. When she starts her political career, I want this information on the record.

Anyone with smarts and savvy, should know that the Clintons are not REALLY getting rid of Penn and that it is just a smoke screen -- he is far too valuable to them and knows WAY too much for them to push him under the bus. He will still be pulling the strings behind that Wizard of Oz Curtin, as they say, doing polling and some advising! This is just another Smoke Screen & Bosnian Moment. He should step down for Real!
