Bernie Sanders
In reply to the discussion: WashPo: Bernie Sanders draws 28,000 people in Portland, his campaign says — [View all]Divernan
(15,480 posts)19. HRC slumming in $1.7 Mil. home of Portland trust fund baby.
HRC slumming it in $1.7 Mil.home of Philips/Andover, Harvard grad.
Some people are said to have been born with a silver spoon in their mouths; HRC's trust-fund baby host, heir to banking fortune, is described (see below) as having been born with a platinum spoon in his mouth.
Same old, same old - Hillary hangin' with her peeps, the very rich, the one percent. And as F. Scott Fitzgerald accurately observed: "Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me. They possess and enjoy early, and it does something to them. Unless you were born rich, it is very difficult to understand. They think, deep in their hearts, that they are better than we are because we had to discover the compensations and refuges of life for ourselves. Even when they enter deep into our world or sink below us, they still think that they are better than we are. They are different." Now granted HRC & Bill weren't born very rich, but have we ever seen any political pair pursue the life style of the rich and famous with more dedication and determination than the Clintons?

Meet HRC's host: Win McCormack
McCormack is the author of: You Don't Know Me: A Citizen's Guide to Republican Family Values. Therein he documented, among other shortcomings, 22 examples of adultery by Republican politicians and activists. He described these acts as "overwhelming deviance from professed moral standards". Ironic that Win trashes Republican sex offenders, when McCormack served as Chair of the Oregon Steering Committee for Gary Hart's 1984 presidential campaign.

I googled to see if Bill Clinton had reviewed or recommended this book, but apparently he hasn't. Hope Win has the good taste to put his extra copies of the book out of sight before HRC arrives.
And if anyone should have good taste and good manners it should be Win, who was born to great wealth and prepped at Phillips Academy Andover and got his BA at Harvard. Are y'all familiar w/ Phillips Exeter? Founded during the American Revolutionary War, doncha' know, Muffy?

An Amazon review: McCormack as hypocrite
ByKip Dellinger "Kip"on August 25, 2008
Format: Paperback
As the publisher's review says, McCormack's complaint taken realistically seems to be of a problem endemic to American society rather than Republicans or their politicians. In fact, it's almost laughable when one thinks about FDR, JFK, Bill Clinton, John Edwards, Gary Hart and on and on.
But, gentle readers, do not fear for Win McCormack. He is an heir (a principal one) to the McCormack family wealth - the McCormack brothers that founded Illinois Tool Co. (used to be Illinois Tool & Die Works) and Northern Trust (one of America's oldest and most pretigious "big" banks).
Like too many trust fund babys born with the silver spoon (in this case Platinum) in their mouths, and taken care of for their entire lives by trust distributions, McCormack believes that he is entitled to tell the rest of the world how to live. A bit of digging around into who he is and what he came from, will reveal enough hypocrisy on his part to discredit his Republicans as the country's only bad guys.
