[...] James Joyner is asking where Hillary got her $5 million. That’s OK, so is Newsweek. It’ll be interesting to watch John McCain squirm when he’s asked how this $5 million got in under McCain Fiengold. It’s already interesting, to a point, given we now have the press openly questioning the Clintons…. at least, the ones who have come out and challenged the coronation of Princess Hillary. I can’t think of a better indication of a left in turmoil than the press actually reporting on the misdeeds of Democrats in an election year. [...]

I read that Mr. Rommney put millions and millions of his own money into his campaign. Mrs. Clinton is making a loan to her campaign? Doesn't that say something? It makes me believe she wants other people's money for her use while not willing to give up her own.

Dick Morris was on Dennis Miller talking about similar issues last week. I haven't had time to research it, but he also talked about Bill Clinton receive $10M per year from the Emir of Dubai as some sort of "finder's fee" for a deal he helped put together.

Proof that having a large budget to waste on speakers is only a blessing to the speakers. Er, unless the people hiring the speakers get political postings later on...

this photo diverts attention from this important issue with unnecessary mean spiritedness.

What're you talking about? It looks like every other picture of her. If she wants a flattering picture it's going to take a magician not a photographer.

I fully understand your choice of picture, James. I've been collecting every unflattering picture of John McCain I can find (it isn't difficult).

I do question the premise of your post, though. Doesn't everybody who leaves political office these days make more money out of office than they did in? I mean, look at Trent Lott and Tom DeLay... just two examples. They are both making gobs more money now than ever could have will serving in Congress.

I wonder how much Bill Frist charges to give a speech?

I am looking forward to reading your article. However, even pulling up the page, I am struck by the horrible image of Senator Clinton you have chosen to present. I am an Obama supporter, in part because I am concerned about Senator Clinton's financing. However, this photo diverts attention from this important issue with unnecessary mean spiritedness.

Thanks for reading my letter.

Peace,

Laura

Of course until Obama showed up, it was only those evil members of the vast right wing conspiracy who might have questioned is there any quid pro quo for all of this money.

And Sam Clemens darned near bankrupted himself publishing Grant's memoirs so that the impoverished ex-President might have something to live on in his declining days (it turned out to be among the best-selling memoirs ever written).
