Trippi azota a Hillary con "la cosa de Washington"

El persuasivo Joe Trippi, sí el Trippi de toda la vida, el profeta del famoso "aplanamiento de la política", el hombre que llevó a Walter Mondale a ganar el Caucus de Iowa en 1984 y se dio a conocer al gran público hace cuatro años como campaign manager de Howard Dean, recordaréis que fichó hace unos meses por John Edwards. Hoy hemos podido comprobar alguno de los trabajos que está haciendo para el chico de oro de Carolina del Norte. Ha estado enviando durante todo el día un email a toda la lista de partidarios de su candidato, cargando contra un exclusivo acto de recaudación de fondos que Hillary Clinton tiene previsto celebrar con gente importante de Washington, una especie de merienda de lobbyistas e insiders de toda clase dispuestos a hacer generosas donaciones como parte de su trabajo -en la imagen podéis ver la invitación para el referido evento-. Cómo descuidar una oportunidad como esta para seguir fustigando a la ex Primera Dama con "la cosa de Washington", que así se llama ya la moda de la negación de todo lo que huela a dinero washingtoniano.

(...) "If you want to know why we need change in Washington — and I mean real change, not just trading corporate Republican insiders with corporate Democratic insiders — then just look at Senator Clinton's schedule for today.

In other news, today at noon, Clinton hosted a fundraiser in Washington, D.C. for a select group of lobbyists with an interest in homeland security.

Tickets for the Clinton fundraiser are $1,000 a ticket and $25,000 per bundler. And for that money you get more than a meal — you get to attend one-hour breakout sessions in four different areas of homeland security that will include House Committee Chairs and members of Congress who sit on the very committees that will be voting on homeland security legislation.

The American people know that the system in Washington has become corroded and corrupt — that the nation's capital is awash in campaign money from lobbyists seeking to gain influence to impact legislation.

(...) Today's Clinton fundraising event is a "poster child" for what is wrong with Washington and what should never happen again with a candidate running for the highest office in the land.

That no one in the Clinton campaign — including the candidate — found anything wrong with holding this fundraiser is an indication of just how bad things have gotten in Washington — because there isn't an American outside of Washington who would not be sickened by it." (...)
