HAAAAHHHH good one.
Since Romney and The Clintons have a shared interest in a tax free haven in the Caymans (Romney w/80% interest in the Cayman National Bank and Clinton with a multimillion dollar account holding slush funds that came from - - where again? Hm. Better not ask). The Cayman account(s) were "outed" in the mainstream news last month, did you see it?
Therefore it's not altogether implausible. It's not like they're any different from each other, and besides they're good friends and investment buddies. Google Marvelous Investments (Andover) and Bain, it's spinoff company. Try to find out who's on the boards (Bush AND Kerry? You don't say). The CEO (Eva Teleki/Telege/Teleke) is on the lam for banking irregularities . . . somewhere . . . nobody knows for sure . . .
We have one political party: The Evil Party.

Funny how things come together. Even in satire.
Romney Loans Clinton $30 Million, Citing Bin Laden
Cheering members of the Conservative Political Action Committee were shocked today by withdrawing Republican presidential hopeful Willard "Mitt" Romney's surprise announcement that he was going to release 30 million of his dollars to Democratic Presidential aspirant Hillary Clinton.
"I was the only candidate to run a business," said Romney, an openly weeping talk radio host Laura Ingraham at his side. "Thirty million dollars, at 7 percent interest, is good business, plain and simple. It will stimulate the economy. It will create jobs. It will put money in the hands not of government bureaucrats, but of real people -- people who make the negative ads, who spin the pundits, who poll the voters."
Anticipating conservative critics concerned that Romney's support of Clinton "will help radical Islamist Jihadist terrorists," Romney contended that "the more time Clinton has to fight Obama, and the more time Obama has to fight Clinton, the better shot John McCain will have to give George W. Bush a third term."
"Thirty million dollars is chump change to Mitt Romney," said billionaire New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg, who has flirted with an independent presidential bid. "He's already spent that much for a pair of flip-flops."

WOW BEST LINE EVER!!! That was great!
I agree, quite clever.....kudos.
While the wrangling between McCain, Obama, and Clinton is raising dust in the coral, Huckabee is busy preparing his 'cabinet.'
Ohg

Any DORK, that refuses to use his first name that his parent's gave him, becuase of fear that other's had problems with their first name is stupid. ANd, should not be president of the U.S>
WTF? I think we have to admid that Willard is, as the young people say, SO 1800's !
Often parents don't give a name to a baby; they inflict a name upon an infant. While some keep a name or 'affectionate' nickname such as Scooter-others take another name as they become independent. I mean that Geo W Bush is known as W. It could be the same with Willard Romney, Mormon tradition or not; if your parents give you doark name-change it.
I am sure she would take it ... as long Willard agrees to make it a bit more discreet so it fits in with her "non-disclosure" policy.
You should investigate things somewhere besides Obamas page or his mouth, because they are lies. These figures are from Open Secrets an unbiased page and it looks like he has a bit more of a problem with disclosure than she does.
But don't let the truth stop your spouting lies!
Obama:
Full Disclosure $72,332,166 (82.0%)
Incomplete $0
No Disclosure $15,925,900 (18.0%)

Clinton:
Full Disclosure $83,942,17 (89.7%)
Incomplete $0
No Disclosure $9,662,088 (10.3%)

He sounded bitter-- but as a victim- he has smartly positioned himself for 2012,,
Marty,
Sorry.
This should have been posted in that dumb "23-16" thing.
LOL - Check out this Hillary spoof!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGMgxFE6bms
I have not seen a report of this anywhere else. I doubt its truthfulness.
But it has truthiness.
S-A-T-I-R-E ! D-U-H !
Yea - I am totally clueless and pulseless at times. It was written as if it were true and I bit at it (that's why I looked elsewhere for the story.) I ultimately wasn't fooled but wished I didn't have to expend the time and energy figuring that out. My weakness...
:
ITEM: Check bounces.
:
Keep them fighting. Nightmare scenario.
but really, Romney is not stupid, Mitt Romney's exit from the Presidential Nomination made Hillary Clinton's very very problematic. And highlighted many of her major weaknesses in voters minds. This might even hurt her for the vice-presidency, that if it isn't beneath her.
Notice that this is put in the "satire" catagory at the top of this post.
Marty: Leave the satire to Jonathan Swift(boat),
Henry Kissinger winning the Nobel Peace Prize was the end of political satire.
About your pseudo; I always suspected it was a pun. Spear serving as a metaphor for quill.
And didn't Jonathan Swiftboat the Irish?
JUBO ... You evidently know your A Modest Proposal. I appreciate your perspicacity.
Cheers; you are a gentleman and a scholar.
In the event you are a Lady,
Allow me to Sir Walter Raleigh ...
Hillary can't take 30 million dollars from ANYBODY, at least not as one lump of cash. This is why the Republicans can't raise money, because campaign finance reform limits donations to 2300 dollars precisely so that elections can't be bought by big corporations.
The trick is "bundling," where multiple people, such as lobbyists, come together on behalf of corporations and put their money together as a package.
Romney can't even give a straight answer about quitting the race. "Suspended"? Like Heidi says'
"You're either in-or your're out."
Very funny, Marty.
it's a joke... can you find it anywhere on the web? Or do all you just read Huffpo, like those other who only watch Faux news? lol
Thanks for this. Time to lighten up folks..for a day or so. Now Romney's boys can join the army instead of serving our country by campaigning for Dad. Candidate Clinton would bring all the Hillary haters out to vote against her. Obama would not energize them so much and so because they don't really like McCain that much, they'll probably stay in the old easy chairs. I used to hope Edwards would be the nominee..I still think he was our best shot..but hey, Go Obama.
MARTY: Are you stealing ideas from Andy Borowitz, now?
This has to be a joke. Is this legal? What is Romney getting from the Clintons in exchange?
A $35,000,000 tax rebate if Clinton is elected.
A back-scratcher made out of pretzels.
Romney Loans Clinton $30 Million, at the low introductory adjustable rate of 1.5%
I do not see Bloomberg speaking like that. Where's the 23/6 logo?
Whaaaaaat?
And she accepted it?
This is absurd. And what was Ingraham just saying about endorsements?
This is obscene.
pssst. its a joke
(I know, I am hiding)
Somehow, based on the comments, I get the feeling that people don't realize that this is satire and not real...thus proving, if its written in black and white, people will believe anything!
Those "people" do not read the HuffPo. Great stunt, Marty.
With Myth Romney anything is possible. And the presence of 23/6 does blur the line. Why was this item not there? Uncool.
And embarrassing.
Don't any of my fellow liberals have a sense of humor or was it beaten out of them by 7 years of the Bush administration. (Don't bother answering, I know the answer.)
Frankly Marty, I wouldn't give the guy any ideas.
The GOP desperately wants Hillary to be our nominee so they can unite to oppose her. At least that's the line coming from them. It could be a right-wing conspiracy to give them the candidate they really want, Barack Obama.
Obama supports drivers' licenses for illegals and did drugs as a teenager. Oh yeah, he's not white and alot of Republicans don't associate with such people. Check out the membership roles in their golf clubs for proof.
Still, I do believe that Obama's unity argument is just too hard to oppose. His keen intellect and, unlike Hillary, inspirational qualities, make him a tough opponent. The fact that he doesn't have to defend Bill and his pardons and everything that comes with Bill, is also an advantage.
Besides, the Right will give more money to beat Hillary than anyone else.
VOTE OBAMA '08!!!
Get a clue -- Republicans will just as readily go after Obama. I live in Texas, trust me, I have heard all of the Right's talk about Obama and his all-Black Church who gave Farrakham an award that Obama refuses to reject, on and on and on. They will back him into the corner on that one, for sure. Just as sure as they will back him into the corner on all of his weak issues like Rezko corruption, etc. etc.. He's such a wimp, they know that all too well. Get a clue.
You are a rara avis. One of the few well-informed. The Trinity Church is going to kill Obama. A Church that equates Zionism with racism and honors Louis Farrahkan.
Freedom Watch is going to have a field day and they have $200 million sitting in the bank ready to go.
Funny stuff. But be careful--don't give Mittens any ideas. He's easy to influence.
You must be
