  • NEED… MORE… UNITY: “A day after Obama wrote a $4,600 check to Hillary Clinton, First Read has learned Bill and Hillary Clinton have returned the favor, donating the maximum to the Illinois senator’s campaign, a Clinton spokesperson says.” And Patti Solis Doyle has already spent all of this Unity Money on snow shovels for the upcoming Florida battle.

  1. And more cowbell.

    …quick cancel the check before she can cash it!!!

  3. Brutus Harlot says at 3:42 pm, June 27th, 2008

    Obama is so sexist. I bet he told Hillary he would only give money to a woman if she gave it back to him. I’m going to vote for McCain because of this!

    $4600 won’t cover 1 thigh liposuction treatment.

    Oh great. Barry’s taking money from corrupt developers again? Fuck.

    It’s kind of like regifting. Very tacky.

    You know what would help unity would be Barry quitting smoking. Hasn’t he seen this PSA featuring R2-D2 and C-3PO? Actually, if they could get out and shill for him, that would be cool on so many levels; and by cool, obviously I mean terrible…I think.

    These donations reminds me of the exchange of Christmas gifts in Donnie Brasco. Instead of all the hoo-hah, it would have been kind of cool if Barry and Hils had stood on the podium and stared at each other in total silence for 30 seconds.

    Her suit is the same color as the seal was.

  11. Brutus Harlot says at 4:04 pm, June 27th, 2008

    Monsieur Grumpe: Thank god for campaign finance limits or they would regift the $4600 into perpetuity.

  12. obfuscator says at 4:04 pm, June 27th, 2008

    If the universe has a sense of humor, Hillary’s check will bounce.

    “Even small expenses piled up in January: the campaign spent more than $11,000 on pizza and $1,200 on Dunkin’ Donuts runs.”

    i suppose the money spent on snickers got buried in petty cash…

    He’s totally crushing her hand.

  15. SuperRounder says at 4:23 pm, June 27th, 2008

    greatgooglymoogly: In pic #100, it looks like he’s about to lean in and give her what she’s wanted all along.

  16. FunkyPalmettoBug says at 4:29 pm, June 27th, 2008

    I’m guessing unity will come in the form of the most political 4 way ever.

  17. nbawriter says at 4:45 pm, June 27th, 2008

    Next on the docket: Barry and Hillz wipe each other’s asses, then hand the TP to the other to flush down the toilet.

  18. Paultardville says at 4:50 pm, June 27th, 2008

    $4600 will buy a shitload of Nicorette!

  19. shortsshortsshorts says at 5:36 pm, June 27th, 2008

    Paultardville: …and plenty of coke for Larry!

    I love their prom outfit
    they should have gone with the Tiffany Robin Egg blue - but that’s kind of ‘leetust I guess

    I have only one question for the Guns & Bitter crowd:

    Is bitter butter better?

    Welcome to my meme …

    Hillary has recently posted an ad on Craigslist now that the nomination is clinched:

    Well, throwing around that kind of money is sure impressive…or sad, depending on how much hope you have.

  24. Mr-Clark says at 11:32 pm, June 27th, 2008

    Jim Newell,

    Patti Solis Doyle is an asshole. I would love to have been a fly on the wall the night she interrupted Mrs. Clinton’s Crown Royal moment along with Harold Ickes (you know, the guy that was supposed to deliver all the superdelegates and netted zero) and asked Hillary, “Can we borrow 10 million dollars? I got the campaign a deal on snow shovels and now you are broke.”

    Sen. Obama said Solis Doyle came highly recommended. Patti will probably spend all of his money on hand guns for the less fortunate in D.C. so they can get out the vote, one way or another.

    Sincerely and respectfully,

    Mr-Clark

    Watching without blog commentary, it was a pretty moving moment. I even gave him $5. I’ve never really heard the passion in that dude’s voice before, although I’ve certainly heard it from Hillary, especially while she determinedly deep-throated the Texas popular vote. I’ll vote for him. He’s good, and I don’t care whoever he chooses for VP.

  26. scott_dog says at 12:22 am, June 28th, 2008

    Does anyone else get the feeling that, in referring to Obama as an elitist, the repubs are just using code to call him an uppity n*gg3r?
