Bill Clinton's 60th party to last 3 days
NEW YORK, Sept. 28 (UPI) -- Tickets to former U.S. President Bill Clinton's belated 60th birthday party in New York start at $60,000, a private Rolling Stones concert included.
While Clinton's birthday was Aug. 19, organizers delayed the fundraising event until late October to avoid complaints from Democrats the money raised for Clinton's charitable foundation would be lost to campaign contributions for November's mid-term elections.
Some 2,100 invitations have been sent for the event, which will run from Oct. 27 to Oct. 29, the Washington Post reported Thursday.
Clinton's daughter, Chelsea, will host a Saturday brunch featuring a golf tournament at the Bayonne (N.J.) Golf Club, multiple receptions and a dinner at the American Museum of Natural History with Clinton and his wife, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y.
The Rolling Stones will perform at the 3,000-seat Beacon Theater, and the invitation says the concert will be taped for an upcoming Martin Scorsese movie about the band.
Gee - I wonder how many poor, starving democratic voters could be fed with all this money?
I can see you're not a fun guy LOL
or Katrina victims, $60,000 times 2,100 invites is $126 million
You named it psychopath. Thats Bill. But he is normal compared to those who would bend down and lick his butt.
From what I've read,they don't really make such a secret of that.Their claim was,IIRC,that he was so drunk and/or stoned that he was a liability.Not too long after he was tossed,he was found in his pool.
Back in those days,certainly,the scenario of the drugged out rocker was pretty well established,you'll have to admit.It would have been easier,and quicker,to list the rockers who *weren't* doing heavy drugs than to list those who were.
I,for one,have never heard it suggested that foul play might have been involved in his death.What evidence is there that there was?
I thought Democrats were the party of the little people. I do not know many little people who have parties like this. Plus couldn't the money go to people who "need" it more.
Did Monica get an invitation?
AACCHHHGG....don't give them any ideas!!!
Buh bye.
Sure glad all those posters on this sites prayers for Bubba's health during his bypass worked
Otherwise he wouldn't have made it to 60 and be able to enjoy this bash
And keith richards was never too drunk or stoned in his whole life, correct.
And of course, we'll soon see a mediacrat bemoaning the influence of big money in politics... *not!*
Am I too unkind to pray that all the "fatcats" will decide to keep their wallets closed, and pass up on their big chance to "see and be seen" and "party hearty" with the "rich and famous"?
$60,000.00? WooHoo!
Will there be a moon-bounce, and a clown? Will we get a party favor bag?
Bubba is just SSSOOOOOO presidential isn't he?! he really takes the dignity out of presidential! He makes me sick. Someone on Fox can't remember who said it after his childlike tamptrum that he has made millions on his books-talks why can't he just go away and enjoy his millions and keep quiet! Amen!
"He's a fun guy ..."
Like a 6 foot mushroom buying rounds at the bar?
Let's spend the night together....
Let's spend the night together...
For 60 thousand dollars? Absolutely. You'll even have your choice of bags: Helen Thomas, Nancy Pelosi, etc.
