Rob Reiner Sings For Clinton

Share

October 22, 2007 3:36 AM

ABC News' Eloise Harper reports: Rob Reiner sang a rousing rendition of "Happy Birthday, Mrs. President" in honor of Senator Hillary Clinton at his Brentwood, California, home on Sunday evening.

Celebrities came to see to see Clinton, D-N.Y., and to celebrate in advance of the former first lady's 60th birthday.  Although they didn't bring gifts, celebrities from Jamie Lee Curtis, Magic Johnson, Ted Danson, Bridget Moynihan and Chelsea Handler raised a half a million dollars for the Clinton campaign and enjoyed cocktails and hors deouvres in return.

Despite the massive fires miles away in Malibu, guests were greeted by men dressed in head to toe white, with lavender bow ties saying with "Welcome to the Reiner's," as they shuffled up and down the street parking Bentleys, Porsches, and BMWs.

In a town where loyalty is split between Clinton and rival Senator Barack Obama, D-Ill., the famous actor turned director Reiner made the push for his candidate in this Hollywood crowd.

"This is a tough time right now and we need the best woman qualified," Reiner said.

Clinton thanked Steve Bing and other guests at the event before delivering her standard stump speech. About 250 people applauded as Clinton outlined her disapointment with the Bush administration.

Gee, ya think the press would write such a loving piece if Bush, Cheney or any other repub were honored w/ such lavishness? No, all we'd hear about is how much it cost and how (Bush, etc) is a prime example of born-into elitism and corporate greed. Too bad the press can't see reality through the liberal democrat goggles they wear and realize there is no more corporate greed in this world than the smut, gore, and violence propaganda machine that calls itself Hollywood, except maybe the democrats.

The real deal - Socialists throw a hack event like this and it shows up on the front page as society and glamour industry news. Republicans do it and you will find it on the op ed pages full of condemnation. Democrats are not all socialists but all socialists are democrats. When the 'liberal' tag got too hot for them, they (with the help of the MSM changed their moniker to 'progressive'. Imagine that. Know a socialist for who they are, what they are and what they will do to this country if they gain control.

Ah, yes. Another democrat fund raiser attended only by those who can claim a Hollywood friend who has lots of cash. Yet another example of how Clinton knows the pain of the average family. "It's a pain for her to lower her living standards to pretend she cares."

I see the petulant liberals contingent are present in this string. Hurling their standard fare of insults and slime is so predictable.

Well, she commented on her disappointment with Bush, well, imagine that, throwing stones instead of working on the problem!

Wonder how many Chinese cooks, waitresses and janitors Mr. Rob HobKnob invited? Oh, I forgot about the servents. Guys like this are making millions off of re-runs, which is what the unions in Hollywood are striking over. Where is the compassion Mr. DimWit. Or better yet, where is the outrage of people like HRC? H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-T-E-S.

Happy Birthday Mrs. President? Was rob reiner wearing a dress too?

With all the hot air and no oxygen (these celebs were all oxygen deficient----probably too much time in the birth cannal), and the hot fumes from their toy vehicles, no wonder that part of California is on fire. God is trying to tell them something. Hillary will bring "hell on earth" and this is a preview.

Ugh, how gross and disgusting. The Hildebeast and The Meathead together all cuddly. God allmighty, ANYONE BUT HILLARY, please!!

How many times is Clinton going to get away with these illegal fund raisers wrapped up as private parties. Her fund raising efforts will be her downfall. Ever wonder why she has yet to be investigated for them? My guess: Bush is waiting until she gets the nomination. Then he will unleash his federal prosecuters. Starting with a get out of jail free card for Hsu.

Rob Reiner, Ted Danson and fellow vapid, self-absorbed, lock-step bobble heads show support for Hillary Clinton at a giant Girl Scout Jamboree. (Sigh) With endorsements like that I guess the rest of us should just pack it in and concede defeat...

Where does all this swine come from?

Posted by: Gentle Ben | Oct 22, 2007 10:03:06 AM

I love the sentence about the "Bentley's, Porche's and BMW's."
Hmmm? Let's see . . . this sounds like a Limosine Liberal get together. Usually, these type haave a servent rent a Preius to deliver them to functions. Reckless abandon gone amok?
I haven't been to a movie theater in years because these trashy liberals don't deserve my money.
Thanks for the History chanel and Discovery. That's my entertainment, and I don't miss these sickining people.

There is no point wasting your effort trying to convince Hilary's fans that she is an evil nutcase. They can't see it. They have swallowed too much koolaid at this point. There is literally NOTHING that she and her husband could do that would steer these maniacs from their path of abject loyalty. The only thing we can do is turn out in equally maniacal force in support of whomever receives the Republican nomination.
