6. She showed up in a horse costume.

It was embarrassing for all of us, but an endorsement is an endorsement.

[Stephanie]

14. Don't even try it. It was not the least bit embarrassing.

And she wasn't in a "horse costume," she was in riding clothes, no makeup and uncombed hair after taking her daughter riding, and she looked absolutely beautiful. Nice try but no cigar.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Former President Bill Clinton traveled the globe in 2005 giving speeches that earned him $7.5 million, according to financial disclosure documents his wife, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, is required to file annually.

***

Clinton's speaking tour in 2005 included 43 speeches in 14 countries. He began in February and averaged about four speeches a month, usually charging about $150,000 per event. On occasion, the price was much steeper.

On October 18, 2005, for example, he addressed about 8,500 business executives at a "Power Within" motivational speaking conference in Toronto, Ontario, for a price of $350,000.

The next day he addressed a similar group at a "Power Within" conference in Calgary, Alberta, for $300,000.

When factoring in his $125,000 fee for remarks to a different business group delivered via video-conference before the Toronto event, the former president's total two-day haul was $775,000.

24. No, it was a horse costume with big teeth and a floppy tail.

[LittleClarkie]

17. Here is Wisconsin we have many lakes and people windsurf on them

Ordinary people. Why is that considered elitist?

[Hardrada]

7. Sweetheart of the Rodeo??

[TheCowsCameHome]

8. At least it wasn't a tractor pull or mud boggin'.........

[LittleClarkie]

9. Gee, I haven't heard about the liberal elite since the last time I listened to Rush

Classism, plain and simple.

[Stephanie]

16. Disingenuous classsism, to be sure.

The Clintons are for sale to the highest bidder. See my post above regarding Bill's speaking fees. Note how he procures donations to his library. The CA governor's wife takes her daughter riding at a stable and these people are feigning outrage? What desperation. Thank god she didn't take her windsurfing!

[unapatriciated]

10. It's clear she didn't come straight from a restaurant

[unapatriciated]

11. delete - double post

[cgrindley]

12. So rich people are not allowed to be liberal?

that's pretty daft.

[Raine]

13. Yeah imagine the nerve

and we all know that it's only liberal elites that go to anything having to do with horse. :sarcasm:

[Medusa]

18. Oh right. I forgot. We hate the rich here on DU don't we?

[AX10]

20. The elite are backing Obama.

Just as they backed that winner McGovern in 72' and that winner Mondale in 84'.

[chascarrillo]

21. Keep hate alive!

[VolcanoJen]

22. Democrats Against Horses!!!

Are you kidding me???

[Scurrilous]

23. Tally Ho!

[mrreowwr_kittty]

25. Yes. Now do what we tell you, serf! nt
