Nobody Interested In Bill’s Birthday
When America’s liberal elite were offered the chance to pay up to $500,000 each (about £260,000) to attend Bill Clinton’s 60th birthday extravaganza tonight – with the added promise of a private Rolling Stones concert – a packed house was expected.
Wife Hillary and daughter Chelsea sent out about 10,000 invitations to Hollywood tycoons, movie stars, captains of industry and Wall Street – with all proceeds to go to the former President’s charitable foundation.
Those who pledged the top price were promised the ‘Birthday Chair Package’, with the best seating for the concert as well as a chance to have photographs taken with Mr Clinton during a round of golf and a three-day series of cocktail, brunch and dinner parties.
The minimum price, with inferior concert seats and no brunch, was set at $60,000 (£31,000). But with many rich Democrats sending their regrets, The Mail on Sunday can reveal that last Wednesday the Clintons drastically slashed prices to $12,500 (£6,500) for one reception and the concert, or $5,000 (£2,600) for just the Stones.
With the looming possibility of Bill and his long-suffering wife and daughter finding themselves amid a sea of empty chairs at the 2,900-seat Manhattan venue, tickets then went on sale to the public for as little as $1,710 (£900).
$1,710 a ticket. What a bargain!

He is not my hero. My heroes are Pericles,Solon, Aristotle, Alexander the Great etc, etc. I don’t worship politicians.
No, please don’t! I think my problems are fixed. Know how frustrating it is to want to reply to someone blistering your liberal hide and the darn thing won”t work?
Like all liberals Ellinas is expecting someone else to do it. LIke taxes they don’t expect to pay them themselves.
It’s his birthday? Yawn.
Elinas:
I’m pretty sure that Alexander was a politician as well as a warrior. As to not worshipping politicians…sound advice.
Margie: Great! That will make sustaining a dialogue ever so much easier.
Having trouble with my computer, on line with help, trying to get two comments in a row to register, ignore me please
It goes to show that Billary’s economy isn’t doing so well, but then they are Marxists, and you know how stagnant Marxist economies tend to be.
Hi, everyone
Little bloodthirsty, aren’t you docdave? I’m a liberal, but I must admit that Mr. Clinton certainly seems to value his company overmuch. And Robert108’s comment about how things obtain their value is right on.
Oh, Poor old Bill. What a disappointment of his life. He had to face this on his sixtieth birthday. If only he had given a second thought about calling rolling stones. Maybe Bono or Greenday could have prepared him for an audience, but he’s a poor old guy after all. Lack of acknowledgment on his part maybe put him in this position. Bill, Be careful on your 61st birthday and start making plans now.

Goes to show that the economy isn’t doing as good as some would have us believe.
Damn dudes. Quit being so stiff. It was meant to be a sarcasm. Jeeeezzzzus Christ.
Margie: Why not simply register and login? You won’t have any more trouble posting comments. It doesn’t cost anything.

Poetic Justice delivered in an especially appropriate ironic manner.
I am registered, thanks Robert. Cleaning the disk something or other fixed it. Don”t know what a cookie is, but that had something to do with it too
Margie, are we supposed to be ignoring you still?
It is also a textbook illustration of the fact that, in the free enterprise system, things are only worth what someone is willing to pay for them.
