Dick Morris Shure Knows The Clintons, He Predicted This Over 6 Months Ago, Saying She Hopes Obama Loses; U Go Chipmonk!!
IT sure looked like Hillary Rodham Clinton was plotting her political future at a secret ladies-only dinner in Washington the other night.
The New York senator was guest of honor at Tuesday's hush-hush powwow that raised speculation about a possible White House run in 2012. The gathering was hosted by California Sen. Dianne Feinstein and attended by Ellen Malcolm, founder of Emily's List, which supports pro-choice, female Dems; Rep. Ellen Tauscher (D-Calif.), chair of the New Democrat Coalition; and Hilary Rosen, former Recording Industry Association of America CEO, who's now political director of the Huffington Post.
A source tells Page Six they all met for dinner at Charlie Palmer Steak, a chophouse noted for its cellar of 10,000 bottles of wine and spectacular views of the Capitol.
"You could say Hillary met with her homegirls. They're all very powerful and important women," our insider said. "It's highly unlikely they were plotting anything around the VP spot because Hillary knows Barack Obama isn't going to pick her. They were probably planning her future."
Clinton's rep, Jay Carson, did not respond to a call or e-mail. A spokesman for Feinstein said, "It was a personal dinner. They had a couple of glasses of California wine, but the content of the meeting is going to remain between them." Messages left for the others were not returned.
Clinton was once thought to be a contender for Obama's running mate, but no longer, and his short list is now believed to include Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine, Sen. Evan Bayh (D-Ind.) and Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.)
But Clinton is still appreciated. Mayor Bloomberg will toss a "Welcome Back to New York" party for her at Gracie Mansion Monday night with his own money. A mayoral source said, "He's proud of what she's accomplished." |
