Rock giants U2 unhappy to be politicians' cash cows Oct 12 2:13 PM US/Eastern breitbart.com Rock giants U2 have expressed outrage that US politicians from both main parties, including Hillary Clinton, are using their concerts to fill campaign coffers. "The U2 concerts are categorically not fundraisers for any politician. They are rock concerts for U2 fans," a statement from the group's publicist said. Senator Clinton has "invited" 18 people to join her on October 19 in a luxury suite at Washington's MCI Center to see U2 play during their sold-out Vertigo tour, as long as they contribute 2,500 dollars to the Democratic Party. Luxury suites at the center cost 7,000 dollars and offer a close-up view of the stage. "We do a meet-and-greet with the senator, and then go in and listen to music," said Ann Lewis, the former first lady's spokeswoman. Pennsylvania Republican Senator Rick Santorum is holding a 1,000-dollar-a-head fundraiser at U2's show in Philadelphia this weekend.

Hillary's statements remain wholly contradictory and wholly unexplained. There has been no defense this, and there can't be (she made the statements, it is done and can't be changed). She said she picked the trades all by herself with the help of the Wall Street Journal. Then she said he had some help from the Tyson Chicken guy. Then she said she had no personal knowledge of the individual trades, having left it up to others. This is all available on film, and unexplained. It's amazing Santorum didn't put the clips out during the Senate Race, it could have changed the outcome, IMHO. Her only answer is YOUR answer...i.e off-point blather. It's hard for this to be a RIGHTWING SMEAR, when hey, HER OWN WORDS TELL THE STORY BETTER THAN I CAN. Dan B.
