The increasingly bizarre Presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton hit a new low during the otherwise somnolent Democratic Presidential debate on Saturday when she claimed the millions showered on her and her husband by Wall Street banksters was thanks to the terrorist attack on New York on 9/11/01.
Because it’s clear Hillary suffers from selective memory syndrome, the IBT reviewed the pre-9/11 Wall Street investment in the Clinton’s:
In her 2000 U.S. Senate race, Clinton vacuumed in more than $1.1 millionfrom the securities and investment industry, according to data compiled by the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics. That made her the third- largest recipient of Wall Street money of any member of Congress or congressional candidate running in that entire election cycle, which concluded 10 months before 9/11.
The securities and investment sector was Clinton’s third-largest source of campaign cash in the 2000 cycle, after lawyers and retirees. In fact, four of Clinton’s top 10 campaign donors during the election were employees from major Wall Street banks Citigroup ($105,650), Goldman Sachs ($89,920), JP Morgan ($53,750) and UBS ($53,750). On top of that, employees of Credit Suisse gave her $47,500 and employees of Bear Stearns gave her $39,400. According to CRP data, Clinton in 2000 was, out of all U.S. Senate candidates that year, the No. 2 recipient of campaign cash from employees of hedge funds, the third-largest from employees of private equity firms, the fourth-largest from employees of commercial banks and the sixth-largest from employees of mortgage bankers and brokers. …
In the months between Clinton’s election and the 9/11 attacks, her family benefited from big speaking fees from major Wall Street banks. According to federal financial disclosure forms, Bill Clinton was paid $125,000 by Morgan Stanley Dean Witter in February 2001 — just weeks after leaving the White House — and was paid another $125,000 by Credit Suisse First Boston later that same month.
The Clinton’s have been milking Wall Street for contributions for years. Her bizarre claim that she personally rebuilt the New York financial sector is matched in ridiculousness by the statement that giving her campaign contributions showed the terrorist they couldn’t win.
It didn’t take long for the parallels between Hillary’s performance and an episode of Family Guy were noticed and mashed up:
