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.

I’d agree with you except I don’t like to stand in a long line.
There’s not enough hand santizers and wet wipes to get me to bid on Bill Clinton.
Nothing but beggars.
Shouldn’t the tickets be selling for ‘two bits’?
....Yeah....like the nerdy guy in Groundhgog Day.,...
He’s just a gigalo with no where to go.
Instead he is a 711,000$ crack whore.
WOW I imagine Clinton is fantasizing cigars and the little blue dress
guess there are some that would pay for his company but not much charisma left in lover boy
Heh, for a second I thouht it was an article from The Onion.
“Is he referring to Little Willy?”
You never know what some people might be willing to pay to see a bent willy.
Once a whore........
I’d buy a $5 chance to see Clinton sitting in a wood church surrounded by tanks. Hell, I’d buy two tickets if Janet Reno sat beside him.
If I had the bucks, I’d like to find out how much it would take to have the jagoff paint my house. Better make that my neighbor’s house—he’d probably do a lousy job.
Hasn’t rapist made enough money to pay off the wife’s debts. I wouldn’t contribute a nickle.
So the contest is that the loser has to spend time with this felonious creep?
My flesh crawls.
Literally.
