GOP Allocates $84 Million to Investigate Clinton Finances: Starr Top Choice to Lead Probe

[ThisThreadIsSatire]

In the wake of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s Federal Election Commission filing which revealed that she has ‘written off’ $13.1 million in loans she made to her Presidential campaign from personal funds, Republican Party Officials have announced they will spend “$84 million, maybe more if we have to” for a comprehensive investigation into the financial dealings of the both the Senator and her husband, former President Bill Clinton.

“I suppose she’s going to tell us she’s been speculating in pork bellies again,” an obviously irate Republican National Committee Chairman Mike Duncan told reporters. “Something’s obviously wrong here. The Clintons reported income totaling $109 million since he left office 8 years ago. Liberals just don’t make that kind of money and remain liberals.”

2. do you have a link

and I'm not sure, but I don't think you can post as many paragraphs as you have - you probably need to double check.

best bet is to cut it to 3 paragraphs and then say more at link, providing the link.

Looks like he wrote it himself. I think it's satire.

I could be wrong though.

9. It's supposed to be satire... but

At least I know why you're called 'Hawkeye' -- Thanks for taking the time, and Happy Holidays!

12. After the money they pissed away in the 2008 election, this will be more wasted money for the RNC

When the next election occurs maybe the rnc will be broke

They are already morally broke

13. You really should include the "satire" smiley!

Since this scenerio so closely resembles reality, it's hared to discern nowadays...

16. I'm a newbie here, how do I do that...

... and thank you.

The biggest problem with satirizing these 'people' is that they're so preposterous already, it's easy to believe what would otherwise appear insane.

Ringo Starr? :rofl:

[zbdent]

Obama Girls to Adopt Bill Clinton

In one of the more bizarre twists in recent political memory, Bill Clinton will be returning to The White House - not as ‘First Husband’ but as ‘First Pet’. At the same time, we have the answer to the most-asked question of the transition period: “What kind of dog will the Obama girls choose?”

And in a bit of historical irony, when hearing of Malia and Sasha Obama’s choice, both the President-Elect and Neo-Conservative icon Bill Kristol uttered identical sentiments, likely the only time this will ever occur, with independent responses of: “One thing’s for sure. If he’s gonna stay, he’s getting fixed.”
