Mark Weiner dies at 62; was RI Democratic fixture and friend of Clintons

Mark S. Weiner died while following his heart, heading to see his lifelong friends, the Clintons.

On Tuesday morning, the longtime Democratic Party activist and major fundraiser rose, eager to travel to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia to hear a speech by his longtime friend, former President Bill Clinton, and to see Hillary Clinton become the first female nominee for president from a major party.

During his speech at the convention Tuesday night, Bill Clinton said he and Hillary cried when they heard of Weiner's death.

“He was getting dressed to come to the convention,” former Providence Mayor Joseph R. Paolino Jr. said, speaking by phone from Philadelphia. “He got up early and went back to bed and passed away." He said Weiner had leukemia, but he was unsure what caused his death.

...

Weiner, 62, of East Greenwich, is a former state Democratic Party chairman who was president of Financial Innovations, a Cranston firm that has served as the official merchant and supplier of banners, pens, hats and virtually anything else at every Democratic National Convention since 1980. He’s also served as a Rhode Island delegate to the convention and raised millions of dollars for Bill and Hillary Clinton and other candidates. He leaves his wife, Susan, and four children.

“At some point it will be impossible for the Clinton’s to put the genie back in the bottle.”

I thought it was more like “putting the $hit back in the donkey!”

Sorry if this post offends, but when criminals are all together in bringing down our Country, I have absolutely no compassion for them...

He’s in hell now from all of his ‘Clinton deeds’ you can count on it...

Not necessarily. Needles make no visible wound.
