Bucks For Bubba
The Big He raffles himself off to raise the readies to pay off SWMNBN's bills.
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.
You may insert your own "booby prize" joke here.

Posted by: The Maximum Leader at May 13, 2010 03:57 PMWasn't there a time when former Presidents conducted themselves with a bit of dignity? I'm trying to remember.
Posted by: Jordana at May 13, 2010 05:14 PMIs 2nd prize 2 days with Bill?
I think the last former president with dignity was Herbert Hoover.
Bill Clinton has become all id. And that is why a $5 chance to spend a day with Bill might just be worth it.
