Hillary Stiffs Her Own High School -Updated
Hillary Clinton’s campaign has made little secret that it has been routinely outspent by rival Barack Obama in the extended race for the Democratic presidential nomination and has been forced to curtail checks for some of its vendors and staff.
But stiffing your high school alma mater?
That’s apparently the case, according to federal campaign disclosure reports that show that among more than $8.7 million listed as debts, the Clinton campaign owed $3,161 to Maine South High School in Park Ridge for renting the school for an event, as well as for catering.
Clinton, then Hillary Rodham, was a 1965 Maine South graduate.
The Clinton campaign used the school’s Watson Auditorium for an election eve event prior to the Feb. 5 “Super Tuesday” balloting in Illinois and more than 20 other states. The event was a “town hall meeting,” broadcast on the Hallmark Channel, which allowed supporters across the country to question the candidate.
The FEC form listed only a “Dr. Rose” as a contact at the school. A switchboard operator at Maine South said no one was available to discuss the debt and that the only “Dr. Rose” at the school was Dr. Rose Garlasco, the assistant principal of students, who was unavailable.
Update: Jay Carson, a spokesman for Clinton’s campaign, said the invoice from Maine South High School was finally paid today.

I’m going to hate myself for saying this, but she doesn’t look half-bad in that yearbook pic. What the hell happened?

I guess being a bitch does wonders for your complexion, in reverse.

TedB, I don’t think “the ’60s” helped much either.

I know what happened to her. Its very stressful being a Klinton. holding all of those secrets for so long, they know what happened to those 40 people who mysteriously died around them during the last 10 years. including foster.

April 1st, 2008 at 9:01 amIt is totally scarey to think that a seemingly meek-young lady can grow up to be a turd of a woman and attempt to change the complextion of the nation to one that we would not understand or recognize. That’s scarey.

I agree that 30 days late is nothing. Almost all business pays on a 30-60-90 day basis. She is bad enough on the straight facts.
