WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Hillary Clinton supporter Harvey Weinstein threatened to cut off contributions to congressional Democrats unless House Speaker Nancy Pelosi embraced his plan to finance revotes in Florida and Michigan, three officials familiar with their conversation said.

Operation Chaos.
Old bug eyes Pelosi will fold like a cheap suit ... again.
I can see re-voting in Michigan but why Florida?
So a freakin’ film producer can enact legislation, but McCain is beholden to special interest groups.
The Obama supporters don't just want Hillary to drop out. They want the Clinton's to fade to black. That isn't going to happen.
If Hillary drops out she immediately starts getting even. Does anybody really think the 700 FBI files were all the research they did????
Popcorns ready!

Oh fat Harvey, STFU, why doncha?
What a self-absorbed Prig! Every film that a actor was to
recieve a percentage somehow never made a profit.
Soooo, if the democrats can't have hillary they will settle for little Juan?
But Juan sez he is a conservative. I read that somewhere
>Harvey Weinstein threatened to cut off contributions to congressional Democrats
Ooh, I like him!
Note to Harvey. - you can’t revote in Florida.
As sundry people have alreasy discovered. - did you miss the memo?
When has she ever folded on anything? She runs the House like her own private club. Boss Nancy is the most powerful Speaker in history. She has a hell of a lot more testicular fortitude than an indy filmmaker in an Italian suit.
I don’t think she’s nearly as tough as Joe Cannon.
He’d eat Pelosi for breakfast and spit her up for lunch.
Tough customer, that one.
Harvey Weinstein: You’re right on the money, er, so to speak.
I'm still waiting for Richardson to commit suicide... with two-in-the-hat.
I’ve speculated that Hillary will be offered Senate Majority Leader, if she steps aside.
Not sure I would call it "folding", but there is this little item.
Ms Pelosi [...] has declared that it would be harmful to the party if the super-delegates overturned the will of voters.
But she has been more reticent on the subject since a group of wealthy, Clinton-supporting Democratic donors pointed out that what she said contradicted the entire purpose of super-delegates as a fail-safe mechanism for preventing voters from picking an unelectable candidate.
Somebody showed her the dictionary and she shut her yap, for once.
“When has she ever folded on anything? She runs the House like her own private club. Boss Nancy is the most powerful Speaker in history. She has a hell of a lot more testicular fortitude than an indy filmmaker in an Italian suit.”
ROTFLMAO ... yeah, ok. How many times has she promised to stop funding for Iraq and folded? And remember her “First Hundred Hours” crap? Any of that get done?
Nope, she and Reid are fluff & fold Democrats.
Yeah, I believe it all got through the House. Not the Senate. The House passes a ton of legislation. She has folded on Iraq, and hasn't been able to get a supermajority on SCHIP.
Fair enough. Joe Cannon was a little before my time; my memory doesn't go back much farther than Sam Rayburn.
Typical Liberals: If you don’t get what you want, change the rules!
Wouldn’t this be considered blackmailing the speaker of the house?
left msg about Coatesville
sorry about that.. wrong msg
Hillary is in a quandary! If she goes after Barack Obama, then she has to go after the Chicago Democrat political machine.
That’s what Polish people call “pissing in the soup”.
She can’t do that because she will need to use that machine later for her own election.
Weinstein is a pig. I feel sorry for his wife - I don’t care how much money the guy’s got - it’s not enough.
(Ya think they ever had the 'nads to show this to Harvey??)
I don’t know, but I do know that the guy who plays Harvey has ‘nads and is one terrific actor! I wonder if he’ll “ever work in that town again”, lol.
It'll come down to which queen bee has the most testicular fortitude...
