How much does a Clinton cost?

At the risk of confusing readers into thinking that this is a pro Elizabeth Warren blog let me add to my partner's post Sick of Hillary's old underwear. It is not so much the Clinton's wealth that we find disconcerting it's the source. This quote from the Washington Post sums it up.
The financial industry has been Clinton’s most frequent sponsor. The Post review showed that Wall Street banks and other financial services firms have hired Clinton for at least 102 appearances and paid him a total of $19.6 million.
Sorry, but when 10 to 20 percent of the Clinton's wealth comes from Wall Street everyone should be asking how much is just and generous compensation and how much is simple influence buying. The Tea Party is pro market not pro business. The kindest thing one can say for the Clintons is they are not cheap whores.

  1. I'll tell you what I'm fed up with. I'm fed up with the Elizabeth Warren types lecturing everyone that college is too expensive, when they turn around and get paid over a quarter of million dollars to teach ONE class or get paid over $200,000 to give a speech at a university. Why the hell do they think college is expensive? Crap like that.

  2. You saw my post on my brother's blog that Warren will campaign for Alison Lundergan Grimes? She's sowing the seeds of a run.
