August 10, 2002 -- WASHINGTON - A day after The Post revealed that Sen. Hillary Clinton intended to keep her campaign-cash stash from indicted ImClone CEO Sam Waksal, she flip-flopped and said she'll give some of it to charity.
It also turns out that Clinton got far more money from Waksal than first reported - at least $63,000 from the man indicted this week for insider trading, bank fraud and document-shredding.

Well, loyalty, among many other virtues, was never a strong point with either of the clintons.
Wonder when the "watchdog" press will take a look?

Hil to give away Waksal campaign cash
|
|
Clinton's office said she will donate $2,000 given her Senate campaign and $5,000 given HILLPAC, her political action committee, to a charity yet to be determined. She said she also would urge the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee's New York Senate 2000 - a soft-money account set up on Clinton's behalf - to give to charity the $26,000 it got from Waksal. The former First Lady reversed course one day after saying she would keep Waksal's contributions. Spokeswoman Karen Dunn said donating the money "is the right thing to do because it's important to take action to restore faith in both our markets and our political system." Waksal, 54, was charged this week with obstruction of justice and bank fraud. This was on top of insider-trading charges in June, when he was accused of secretly advising family members to sell their ImClone stock Dec. 27 - two days before the government announced it had rejected his biotech company's cancer drug, Erbitux. In the past, Clinton has handed over questionable campaign money. In January, she announced she was giving $8,000 from Enron and its accountant, Arthur Andersen, to a charitable fund helping employees of the bankrupt energy company. Meanwhile, Sen. Chuck Schumer's office said he would give away $3,000 in contributions he has received from Waksal since 1998. Asked why, Schumer's spokesman said: "Because the guy was indicted." |

Hillarrhea!
The exclamation point was a cynical play on the Evita!- like fraudulence of her campaign, and before the software blocked it, I liked to add the html code for Copyright to further satirize this thoroughly corrupt and malignant wench.
BTW, do you recall this ghastly doggerel?
A Song for Hillary
The whole world will be dancing in the street
when Hillary Rodham Clinton takes her Senate seat.
No carpetbagger is she;
she's a human Statue of Liberty.
Hillary, Hillary, Hillary!
We're so glad for the joy that she will bring.
We can always count on her to do the right thing.
She's faithful and honest, too.
Thank God she's happened to me and you.
Hillary, Hillary, Hillary!
No matter what the voices of deception say,
Vote Hillary Clinton on Election Day.
No matter the problems, big or small;
she will tackle and solve them all.
The whole world will be dancing in the street
when Hillary Rodham Clinton takes her Senate seat.
No carpetbagger is she;
she's a human Statue of Liberty.
Hillary, Hillary, Hillary!
