Bill Clinton offers himself as lottery prize to pay off Hillary’s debts

Bill Clinton offers himself as lottery prize to pay off Hillary’s debts

Despite making millions of dollars Mrs Clinton still owes her pollster $771,000 Tim Reid, Washington

There are many ways to pay off campaign debts — cajoling phone calls, begging letters — but Bill Clinton believes that he has come up with a better method to wipe out the financial obligations outstanding from his wife’s failed presidential bid.

He is raffling himself. In an e-mail sent to millions of people who supported Hillary Clinton’s White House campaign, the former President asks: “How would you like the chance to come up to New York and spend the day with me?” For those who would like the One-Day-With-Bill prize, an online donation of as little as $5 (£3) will buy them the chance.

By 2007, seven years after leaving the White House, the Clintons had earned a combined $109 million (£73 million) through speaking engagements and bestselling memoirs. Even so, apparently they would prefer American voters to settle Mrs Clinton’s remaining $771,000 debt rather than paying it themselves.

“Hillary’s campaign still has a few vestiges of debt that I know she would like to see paid in full. Will you reach out today to help Hillary this one last time?” Mr Clinton asks. In her marathon battle against Barack Obama Mrs Clinton’s debts peaked at $25.2 million. More than $13 million of that she lent to her own campaign — a huge sum that she will never recoup.

This is the second time in a year that Mr Clinton has offered himself as a lottery prize to whittle down his wife’s debt, something that makes some of their supporters cringe.

He had to go to Nevada where that Australian guy was going to sell virgins on TV. He’s going to sell himself.

Oh dear... How shall I put this?

No.

No to New York and DEFINITELY no to spending the day with Bubba "I does what I likes and I likes what I does" Clinton.

The only man I’ve ever known whose nose looks exactly like the head of a penis. Maybe that’s the attraction?

Real classy, Bill.

How is Bill Clinton like Hannibal Lecter?

They’re both giving serious thought to eating your wife.

Does he require a photo first, or has he abandoned all his standards yet?

I think Hannity said last week that Rogers Clinton’s daughter is on food-stamps and welfare. Since Bill makes $200K for a speech, why can’t he help his own damn family?

I’d buy a ticket for $5 if he would let me go to NY and p!ss on him. It would save me the trouble of traveling to his grave after he is dead...

As a prostitute, Klinton has much to offer.
