Couldn’t Help But Notice (102807)
This is worth watching (scroll down a little past halfway) — “Stan Lee swears $225,000 reported by Hillary Clinton to the FEC was not his!” That would be Stan Lee of Spiderman and other comic-book character fame.
Also worth noting: The guest list at the event in question (scroll down to the bottom).
Finally, there’s this.
These things would bury the candidacy of anyone, Democrat or Republican, not named Hillary Clinton. Why shouldn’t it bury hers?

Don Surber, in an article primarily about the how the press doesn’t seem to mind how much money is in political campaigns now that Democrats are getting most of it, starts with this nugget about Team Hillary:
HILLARY Clinton’s campaign for president is a bigger business than the city of Charleston (WV). As of Sept. 30, she had hired 697 people, and raised just slightly less than $80 million.
Charleston’s budget is less than $70 million.It takes a village.
It figures that the City of Charleston would have more employees (850 as of 2005) and spend less money.

Melanie Scarborough, on police overaccommodation of protesters (HT Instapundit):
Just because a few protesters arrive in town, police make life a nightmare for everyone else. And they do so not because it’s necessary for security, but because it’s convenient for them.
Now, there’s something to protest.
Indeed.

Is the New York Times a buyout candidate? I think this comment at Don Surber’s blog post on the topic reflects a more likely and stumbled-upon scenario:
Far more likely than a takeover is a leveraged buyout by the Sulzberger family. If the Sulzberger clan can get the financing the low stock price will be a boon.
Was that the plan? Put half-wit Pinch in charge, drive down the stock price and then re-purchase at a low cost.
NYT stock, which closed the week at $20.32, is worth at least $3 billion less than it was just 5 years ago. That’s a high price to pay for Bush Derangement Syndrome.

I, too, can’t understand why the patron saints of political corruption and personal destruction - The Clinton Mafia - are so immunized from the usual dynamics of public opinion. For all the howls of voters desiring “ethical government,” “honesty,” “positive campaigns,” and “get the money out of politics,” they seem to be hell bent on putting the most unethical, disingenuous, dishonest, and corrupt politician in the highest office in the land - AGAIN! - just 7 years after we got rid of the last one! For all of Bush’s failings, at least he returned ethics back to the office.

#2 nails it…I’ve often said that Bill Clinton, not John Gotti was the “real” Teflon Don…and they all know it.
