Clooney's neighbor throwing Saturday fundraiser for Sanders

[bluedigger]

George Clooney’s next door neighbor is planning to hold his own fundraiser — to benefit Bernie Sanders — during the actor’s posh Hollywood soiree Saturday night with Hillary Clinton.

Howard Gold, whose family founded the 99 Cents Only store chain, is calling his bash the “99% Party,” with tickets selling for $27 per person.
An email invite sent to Sanders supporters Saturday reads: “Swimming pools, Movie Stars, and merriment for all! This is happening right next door to Clooney's party for Hillary!”

The invite also notes that "no-one (will be) turned away for a lack of funds."

Hollywood’s power brokers, meanwhile, have spent weeks selling high-dollar tickets, starting at $33,4000 per person, to the Clooney event in Studio City. Co-hosts include Jeffrey and Marilyn Katzenberg, Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw and Haim and Cheryl Saban.

15. What if it were to turn into a $27 BERNIE BLOCK PARTY that surrounds the Hillary fundraiser!

Wouldn't that be something!

[...just imagine: what if...]

6. I have a feeling he'll get a Yuuuge showing, but the posh actor will call the cops,

because you know, rich people don't like to be around poor people, only posh parties allowed goddammit!

5. $33,4000. Work full-time at minimum wage for two years, and save every penny, and you're in!

Well, almost!

I love this idea

11. Wow. That is awesome!

I really think this mega fundraiser is going to hurt HRH and Clooney. While Bernie is at the Vatican speaking about income inequality, Hillary is rubbing elbows with the richest of the rich and shoveling in the cash.

I heard Clooney on the NBC Evening News this evening saying the amount of money for his fundraiser is "obscene", but it's necessary to get "a Democrat" elected.

No George. My kind of Democrat would give that money to a homeless shelter, or any one of the thousands of other worthy organizations that help people.

I think Clooney knows this stunt will have blow back. He looked sick in the segment. His reputation as a Hollywood good guy is toast.

14. The perfection of this is bringing tears of laughter & joy that simply will not stop!
