HILLARY CLINTON: TOTAL DIVA
Laura Myers of the Las
Vegas Review-Journal has the poop on Madame Hillary Clinton’s upcoming six-figure
speech at UNLV, and the former First Lady and Secretary of State loves to be
pampered like a queen.
“Hillary Rodham Clinton likes to travel in style,” Myers writes. “She insists on staying in the ‘presidential suite’ of luxury hotels that she chooses anywhere in the world, including Las Vegas. She usually requires those who pay her six-figure fees for speeches to also provide a private jet for transportation - only a $39 million, 16-passenger Gulfstream G450 or larger will do.
“And she doesn’t travel alone, relying on an entourage of a couple of ‘travel aides,’ and a couple of advance staffers who check out her speech site in the days leading up to her appearance, much like a White House trip, according to her contract and supporting documents concerning her Oct. 13 speech at a University of Nevada, Las Vegas Foundation fundraiser.”
Interestingly, while her hubby, Bill Clinton, spoke at UNLV two years ago and pocketed a cool
$250,000, his wife, performing the exact same job, will “only” be paid
$225,000.
So much for equal pay for equal work!
Madame Clinton also insists that she “be the only person on
the stage during her remarks,” “will remain at the event no longer than 90
minutes” and “will pose for no more than 50 photos with no more than 100
people.”
She also “won’t allow any press coverage or video- or
audio-taping of her speech. The only
record allowed will be made by a stenographer whose transcription will be given
only to Clinton. The stenographer’s $1,250 bill, however, will go to the UNLV
Foundation.”
Looks like Hillary is trying to out-diva Barbra Streisand!
BECKY HARRIS: TOTAL RINO
“In a piece of campaign literature,” writes Las Vegas Review-Journal columnist Steve Sebelius, “state Senate District
9 candidate Becky Harris declares
she’s ‘not your typical Republican.’ In
fact, her stances on education funding, certain taxes, and other issues sound
downright Democratic.”
In other words, while she may not be your typical
conservative Republican, she’s absolutely your typical moderate establishment
Republican; what you might call a “Sandoval Republican.”
In a 30-minute interview with Sebelius, Harris declared that
she might support Michael Bloomberg’s
gun control petition now being circulated to require background checks for
private gun sales, demurring, “I don’t know that I don’t support the petition.”
Oh, come on. Of
course she does.
Harris was a Democrat until just a couple years ago and
appears to have switched parties out of pure political calculation, not some
change in philosophical heart. Indeed,
Sebelius writes that “Harris said she’s not philosophically opposed to
requiring background checks for all gun sales.”
Harris also divulged in the interview that if elected she intends
to screw the state’s mining industry to the wall!
“Harris said she will vote for Senate Joint Resolution 15,
which will appear on the November ballots as Question 2, a measure to repeal a
constitutional cap on taxation of the net proceeds of minerals in Nevada. That
would allow the Legislature to pass a new mining tax at its next session,”
reported Sebelius. “And why? Harris says
in her flier that ‘…our schools are underfunded and overcrowded,’ and that she
wants to reduce class size, pay teachers more and expand reading programs.”
Spoken like a true Democrat.
Harris went on to declare that electing her “as a moderate
Republican would be a fantastic thing because I can do great things for
everybody.”
Fantastic things?
Like constrict gun rights and raise taxes to spend ever more money on
our failed public education system.
What’s so “fantastic” about that?
The only thing worse than voting for a gun-grabbing,
tax-hiking, big-spending Democrat is voting for a gun-grabbing, tax-hiking,
big-spending Republican. Such
Republicans, as my friend Grover
Norquist of American for Tax Reform is wont to say, ruin the brand.
Indeed. Better the
real Democrat than a fake Republican. In
the Senate District 9 race, I think I’m going to urge conservatives to boycott
voting for either candidate. No sense in
aiding and abetting a fraud.

FAMOUS LAST WORDS
“Robert Uithoven, an adviser to (Republican attorney general
candidate Adam) Laxalt’s campaign, suggested Laxalt probably wouldn’t agree to
debate on ‘Ralston Reports.’ ‘If we’re
going to agree to debate, it would have to be before an audience that is
impartial,’ Uithoven said. ‘And that’s not going to happen on that show.’” – Las Vegas
Review-Journal, 8/19/14
