Hillary Responds—Or Does She?
Friday, May 11, 2007
As the end-of-the-quarter mad dash for cash approached its
frenzied peak, Bill Clinton e-mailed supporters beseeching them to
donate to Hillary Rodham Clinton`s presidential campaign before
March 31. It was all about momentum as Mrs. Clinton sought an
incalculable advantage by achieving a sense of inevitability. Mrs.
Clinton outraised Sen. Barack Obama by a mere $300,000 ($26 million
vs. $25.7 million). It turns out that Mrs. Clinton would actually
have suffered a crushing psychological defeat were it not for the
$800,000 she collected at a March 31 fund-raiser hosted by hip-hop
star Timbaland in Florida. That might explain her refusal so far to
return the money. As it happens, Timbaland is one of the most
foul-mouthed, culture-debasing, misogynistic rappers in the
country.
