More ideas to help Hillary pay off campaign debt

Last week, James Carville, veteran advisor to former President Bill Clinton and FOH (Friend of Hillary) showed his eagerness -- and inventiveness -- to help the Secretary of State pay off her $2.3 million campaign debt.

First it was five bucks to win a day with Bill or attend the season finale of American Idol.

Now Carville has upped the ante, telling Go Daddy founder Bob Parsons during the taping of an online radio show this morning that he would "be all for" the former first lady to appear in one of Go Daddy's suggestive commercials.

Go Daddy, which sponsored the radio show, is famous for its racy commercials featuring bootylicious women in suggestive clothing plugging the company's website-hosting and domain-name registration services.

"If Hillary Clinton would be a Go Daddy Girl ... and do a cameo in one of our commercials, I'll give her a million bucks," Parsons said.

According to Politico, the conversation continued like this:

Carville chuckled and said, "Something tells me that they're probably not going to go for it. I think the lawyers in the State Department. You know, they like, they piss on every fire. You know what I mean?"


When Parsons persisted, telling Carville "I like the ring of Secretary of State and Go Daddy Girl, Hillary Clinton," Carville said, "Look, I'd be all for it, but I wouldn't write the check just yet."

Since campaign finance laws limit contributions to $2,300, Hillary won't need to seriously ponder Parsons' "standing offer."

Then again, a million bucks would go a long way to shaving off her debt.

And, how much in campaign contributions did the Clintons rake in for those 851 lucky folks who got to try out the Lincoln bedroom while they were in the White House?

Bill Clinton on $5 a day?

It used to cost WAY more than that.


I wonder if Carville got OK from the ChiComs. Is Clinton still owned by them?


Hilary does stand up.

Now, take my husband ..... please!


I think James Carville should dress up
as Hillary.., wig, pantsuit and all.
Call her, Bizaro-World Godaddy-Girl.
And Bob Parson's can give Carville the
$2,300.00! lol.... Hey Bob, no charge for this marketing idea. Salute! .

Hello from Viet Nam,

I am very interested in the online contest for a day with Mr. Former President Bill Clinton and a lunch with Mr. James Carville.

I am from Viet Nam, how can I take part in?

I have tried to apply online with my VISA card, but the system refuse because there are no State and Zip codes relevant to Viet Nam.

Best,
