Hillary Clinton was reportedly "furious” at the three Hollywood moguls and Clinton "friends” who hosted Tuesday night’s fund-raiser for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.
Three of the entertainment industry’s biggest names – DreamWorks studio founders Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen – hosted the private Beverly Hills fund-raiser for Sen. 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.
The New York Post, quoting a source, said Sen. Clinton "was furious at the three, who she thought were her friends, for supporting her rival.”
The source said that someone in Clinton’s office even called Geffen.
"They were very angry [the moguls] were holding this event. They calmed down after an assurance was made that there would still be support and money left over for [Clinton].”
A Clinton spokesperson denied that anyone spoke to Geffen. As NewsMax reported on Tuesday, "Obama’s display of celebrity sizzle and campaign dollars challenges any assumptions that Hollywood dollars would default to Sen. Hillary Clinton, who has longstanding ties to the industry, along with her husband.”
In a further slight to Hillary, Geffen told New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd that Republicans "believe she's the easiest to defeat."
"It's not a very big thing to say, 'I made a mistake' on the war, and typical of Hillary Clinton that she can't," Dowd quotes Geffen as saying.
When asked if Obama can stand up to "Clinton Inc.," Geffen replied: "I hope so, because that machine is going to be very unpleasant and unattractive and effective."

Baaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Read Maureen Dowd's article from today. Geffen really takes some potshots at the Clinton's. I think I read the article in USA Today.
I like the quote that Republicans think she would be the easiest to beat, not the guy with the Muslim name.
That looks like a logo for Ben Burch (DUmmy).
Poor Hillary... She can dish it out but, she can't take it.
I'm always fascinated when libs just seem to KNOW what Republicans think.
I thought Biden was the easiest to defeat.
Just what I love...division in the ranks.
Hillary I have news for you. You don't have any friends, only associates who want to use you.
It ain't the White-house but should be lots of fun.
Obama is her greatest gift. Once he sucks all the oxygen out of any Hillary alternatives, the press will start asking him the questions they should be asking him now and he'll fold like a cheap lawnchair. By then, there will be no time for any alternative.
As long as he folds gracefully, he might even get the veep slot or some other high profile appointment as a reward, though I doubt it simply because the beast can take the Obama constituency for granted.
"that machine is going to be very unpleasant and unattractive "
That's a mouthfull!
Wow - 14 semi-unique posts just about hillary today - must be some kind of record...

What I don't understand is why everyone is worried about Hillary. Her temper tantrums and her mouth are going to self destruct her the same as Howard Deans mouth did for him.
