Last night, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and a couple hundred of their wealthiest friends gathered at the beautiful Mayflower Hotel in Washington to talk about how Hillary could be pope if she wanted to, but she doesn’t, and instead she will serve the nation by collecting money to retire her gigundous campaign debt.
As usual, Terry McAuliffe showed up three sheets to the wind and full of ridiculous talk:
Congratulating Obama, McAuliffe rallied the troops one last time, “This, folks, was a magnificent race…This party is on fire.” Turning back to Clinton, McAuliffe said she has a great future, “no matter what she does. If she wants to become pope, it doesn’t matter.”
And then Hillary talked about how in fact she doesn’t want to be pope, because she’d have to become a filthy Catholic. Then blah blah blah, inspirational speech inspirational speech, and then Hopey talked, and the biggest applause line of the night was this:
He recounted how he had told his top fundraisers this week “to get out their checkbooks and start working to make sure Sen. Clinton — the debt that’s out there needs to be taken care of.”
For serious, that is what this pool report says. WILD APPLAUSE.

Hillary Clinton is broke HOORAY!!!!!
That’s the party of the people — making the NPR pledge drive seemed restrained and sensible by comparison.
What, Hillz can’t get that kid with the bicycle to pony up any more?
God forbid she should tap into her $109-million stash.
…Hopey & Popey?!
Man it was nice when she and her demon minions were quiet for a few weeks there. She needs to go back on vacation.
This will be perceived as a SLAP IN THE FACE by the TalkLeft set. How dare Obama pay off the debt Clinton built up trying to destroy him politically? The chutzpah.
As pope, would she become infallible?
Quite a gathering; can I assume it was Vernon Jordan’s turn to be squirreled away in the “undisclosed location?”
As the pic shows, Hillz and OB were the last two contenders in the 1st Annual Democratic Unity Musical Chairs contest. The loser had to write a $2300 check to Hillz. Hillz is devilishly competitive in these parlor games….
Here’s a thought: why doesn’t she get her 18M bitter, low-information, crazy women voters to send her $1 each. I know the hard-working whites are poor, but I’m sure they can afford $1 to give to their Princess. Poof–debt gone & she can quit haranguing poor Obama for a handout. (Frankly, I’m tired of hearing how poor Hill & Bill are!)
How much is John Edwards giving?
I don’t think it can really be said better than “Golden Showers”…
And I really don’t know why they would hold this meeting at hotel that was demolished in 2004…
Texan Bulldoggette: For more on Hillary’s army of bitters who will not support the Inadequate Black Harbinger of Hope, see Wonkette’s previous post. They all appear to be tapped out on some sort of bizarre, low-grade, internet porn and escort subscription binge. We all deal with grief in different ways, it seems.
Silly Terry! Hilz can’t be pope! She’s not even a dude! Or, well, into sodomizing altar boys…
…the “Great Black Hope” and the “Great White Pope”!
Texan Bulldoggette: exacrtly. Instead of whining and getting McCain elected, why don’t these idiots send her $? The moran I love in this article is the one who disagrees with all McCain’s policies but says a vote for him would be for the principle that Obama and Howard Dean cannot push her around. These women need therapy.

WaldoJeffersHead: I assume by “become” you mean “continue to be”
SayItWithWookies: I couldn’t have said it better.
WaldoJeffersHead: inphallible
Well then, we need to get to work designing that Pontiff Pantsuit.
Meanwhile, on a seizure-inducing website which somehow escaped the 90s, Ed is still trying to rally his 200,000 (and growing!) imaginary troops to each raise 50 cents for Clinton, because I’m SURE Hillary still has a chance at running. Now, if only Fox News would stop laughing every time they call with the tip that Obama isn’t a US citizen because his mom wasn’t 21 when he was born…
Doglessliberal: I am pretty sure Diane Mantouvalos is a shemale…
Do you have any idea how much money it takes to repair 18 million cracks on a glass ceiling?
Texan Bulldoggette: I suspect the crazy-bitters number quite a bit less than 18 mil.
But what’s the catch? What did Obama have to promise Hillz in order to have the honor and privilege of helping her pay off her multi-million dollar campaign debt?
From having it all to taking charity from a black man. That’ll give ‘em briney shits for months. Hee-hee.
When you say “Pope,” do you mean “Tentacle Pope”?
“Last night, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and a couple hundred of their wealthiest friends gathered at the beautiful Mayflower Hotel in New York…” Uhh…don’t you mean “the beautiful Mayflower Hotel in WASHINGTON, DC…”? No whore diamonds for you today.
WaldoJeffersHead: You mean Hillary is not infailable?
Texan Bulldoggette: Yeah or the clinton campaign could of folded thier tent early and not loan themselves shittons of money when they had mathmatical chance at the nomination. well shit that would of made sense though.
mookworthjwilson: I had the same reaction. She (”she”) looks like a man dressed up as Carly Simon.
BigLar: Ha ha, you are right! I am not a very good whore today.
Enough with the begging. Get creative Hillz. How about a bake sale? Maybe you should put some of your famous pantsuits up on eBay. Don’t forget the underwear! How about another Chips with Bill contest? Date with Chelsea? Garage sale? Or, best yet, start your own religion!
Sara K. Smith: ah, but are you a DuPont Circle Metro quality whore? (and is that a step down or step up from a 4-Diamond whore?)
Doglessliberal: You’ve gotta have some major “cultural cajones” to be a Dupont Metro whore.
NotUrEvryDayWEzl: “Cultural Cojones” would be a great name for a band!
and right on cue i am forced to listen to YET ANOTHER ceiling crackz story. this one on bbc.
they need to bring me more david tennant and less bittrz.
Not_So_Much: Well, there was that Pope Joan, who supposedly passed for a dude well enough until she accidentally gave birth during a religious procession.
Serolf Divad: He had to promise to just show up to that excrutiatingly pathetic display, to legitimize Clinton’s “Begging Bowl” routine. Otherwise, everyone else would have the same question as Texan Bulldoggette, namely: “Where’s yer own stash, lady? Ya ever hear of ‘loser pays?’”
Didn’t see Bill mentioned anywhere in the article. Guess he’s at home poring over the divorce petition Hillary left open on her computer.
But didn’t she loan the majority of the money to herself?!? Is she going to break her own kneecaps or something?
I just saw video of Hillary on Barack’s plane on MSNBC. Her David Bowie cut was seriously amped up. Apparently, you can roll the windows down on Barry’s airship.
I really hate to say it, but Hopey is being a dipshit about this. Can anyone here say they don’t suspect–even a little–that Hilz is just recharging the money battery and that every dollar the Obamamob sends her way is going to fund a last-ditch Denver Hilsurgency?
Not_So_Much: I disagree on both points.
Doglessliberal: I almost want to go undercover on one of those sites and post a “what feminism means to me thread” just to see what kind of gloriously half-cooked thought that riles up.
WaldoJeffersHead: Only on matters of faith and morals. Can you imagine?
PEOPLE:
I HAVE FOUGHT A VERY HARD CAMPAIGN HERE ON WONKETTE. I DESIRE THAT YOU GIVE ME MONEY TO EXHAUST THE DEBT CREATED BY MY CAR BEING TOWED FROM SAUSALITO. PLEASE SEND UNMARKED HUNDREDS IN PINK ENVELOPES ADDRESSED TO “MR. F.”
Thank you for the long-fought struggle to blog on this website.
Friends, the great and mighty Kraken has consented to retreat and now our blood debt of gold is due. Please do not force us to sacrifice virgins to appease the great Kraken.
I think the RNC should have to pay off Hillary’s debt since they were encouraging her to run.
Give the bitch more money? Hell, I already emptied that coffee can I use to hold the trailer door open on warm nights, when I’m up late reading the Bible and cleaning my .357 Trooper.
populucious: I heard it was pronounced “Kraaken”.
HRC has 18 million supporters, and a debt of $20 million. HUH?
WIDTAP: Rhymes with “Rodham”.
@WONKETTE: WTB Liveblog of Unity Unity event. L2Blog.
says a lot doesnt it, when party unity becomes a question of blood money..?
theyre acting like Hillary is the only candidate in history to ever run up a campaign debt…poor thing..
i think this whole ‘im NOT pouting’ episode could have been entirely avoided if the DNC had simply sent her a nice consolation prize box of goodies…a tote bag, one of those cute little half liter bottles of champaign, a moisterizer sampler kit, a copy of ‘A New Earth’ from Oprahs book club….a nice bit of chocolate…
girlfriend is disappointed and just wants a prize…any prize..
$20 million plus she has to pay for all of those damned cracks in the ceiling.
