that Hillary haters will go to further smear her.

When Bernie becomes a private citizen and goes out on the speaking circuit, I want him to be certain to refuse the huge payments he will surely be offered...since it is so terrible to receive those kinds of payments. Bill should be able to make all that he can...he will not be holding public office again.

Nothing in that post indicates that it will be a "stay", short or otherwise. Maybe if the were
BU instead of DU, then I might agree. But, unfortunately for those that are trying to make it the BU, the DU will slowly regain its name and revert back to being what it was intended.

This place was here long before Bernie was a Democrat. Long before Hillary somehow became just what the teabaggers and the right wing kooks have been spewing for years............. from their circle jerk.

Who knew Rush Limbaugh would be a more demonstrable example of the line of thinking with regard to Hillary Clinton right here, right now in the DU.

Fucking sad.

You expect her to stay home and just cook in the kitchen?

As for her speaking fees. Yes they are high. Compared to other women. But she is also a former First Lady, U.S. Senator and Secretary of State.

All of her speaking fees do not go into her pocket. University engagements were donated to the Clinton Foundation which has a high rating by charity watchers.

I also see that you lumped both Bill and Hillary in this.

Or LBJ? Or other former Presidents and their families? Hell, Jimmy is still out there serving the public by monitoring elections, eradicating guinea worm, etc.

Could it be because they would have considered it unethical to cash in on their "public service"?
