um, so what? I mean, really. So. The. F***. What? Surely, nobody would jump to the conclusion that the Clintons having been poor or, at most, lower middle class, most of their lives (Hillary having more money than Bill), would say that they are suddenly not empathetic to the working poor.
I just heard Milbank say exactly that, that they [the Clintons] cannot “connect with the working poor”. How silly is that?
I don’t even care that they have ‘cashed in’ on their celebrity. I mean, it’s not like Bill sought to be president for the financial windfall that he got after he left office. So, they made a bunch of money? So what?
The only thing that I would care about, and this might come out soon enough as people start digging through the documents, is if either Bill or Hillary received a bunch of money from odious foreign nations. I guess that if they got money from odious companies for some consulting work that’d be a bad thing as well.
However, making money from speeches and book seems fine to me.
I say, good for you guys.
Now, just drop out of the race for president and enjoy your wealth!
