George W Bush charged a charity $100,000 to guarantee his presence at fundraiser for military vets

I played along with your residential pun to make the point, which was Tu Quoque.
Must be inconvenient since you're going to great lengths to deflect to "spell Czech".

But you missed a much better play on words since it was Scum Willy's fool George Tenet who convinced Dubya that Iraq was a "slam dunk"....see, you're a bench player watching me throw speed balls past your weaklings while they waddle back to your dugout sobbing.

Ah, so I missed an opportunity for a triple-pun. Touché.

I was too busy achieving amazing altitudes of annoyingly awful alliteration.

 

[HenryBHough]

Just think.....giving the fee back wouldn't earn Bush Pogo's forgiveness.

Only donating it to The Clinton Foundation could do dat!

 

[rdean]

Clinton and Carter talk to veterans for free.

Bush has at least $30,000,000.00

Bush profiteering off the maimed he created.

Yep, he's a Republican.

And before the partisan bullshit starts, I also lambasted Hillary for this.

Why would you demand any payment for speaking at a fund raiser? Okay, if you have transportation costs I don't find it unreasonable to ask to have them covered, but that's it, and in Bush's case, he's a multi-millionaire so big fucking deal if he has to spend a couple thousand getting there. Consider the cost his donation. After all, how many of these veterans now need this charity because of the war he sent them into?

So all the charges Hillary makes to speak, those are ok? Or is that different somehow?

Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter DO NOT charge veteran's groups. We've all known that for years. In fact, I don't believe I ever heard of Bush Sr. accepting a fee from a veteran's group speaking engagement unless you know of one.
But I find is strange that Hillary would accept money for speaking at a veteran's groups when her husband won't. Unless you have information I don't. Do you? Can you share a link?

 

[HenryBHough]

I can imagine Jimmuh forgetting to send the bill....

But for Slick to not gouge? C'mon, you're straining what little cred you might ever have had. Where's your "LINK"!!!!

You want a link to a nonentity?

I don't think this board handles anti-links. But if it did, they might look like this.

 

[HenryBHough]

Forgive me for asking for a link!

Barbershop had CNN on the TV and I started thinking like a liberal......

I've moved on now.

Bush has done more to support wounded veterans then the all of the other living Presidents COMBINED.

A ... .

Not if you measure that against the number of wounded veterans he created. Needlessly.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Old news

Is there a statute of limitations on extortion?

 

[NYcarbineer]

Just for the record, has Bill Clinton in fact charged this sort of fee for appearing at a wounded veteran fundraiser?

Don't get me wrong. I wouldn't be shocked if he had. Clinton has more than a few lapses into conservative behavior on his rap sheet.

 

[skookerasbil]

What a bunch of mental cases.

Nobody cares about George Bush

 

[strollingbones]

bill clinton has never charged a veterans organization for speaking......nice try there but this is all on your boy george and do not forget the 20k fee for the private jet...o and the 50 k for laura bush speaking....

 

[strollingbones]

The office of former President Bill Clinton said he has never received a speaking fee for addressing a veterans group. The office of former President Jimmy Carter also added that he has never accepted money to speak to a veterans group.
A spokesperson for former President George Herbert Walker Bush said he did not receive a fee after being requested for charity events.

Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates was the featured speaker at last year’s Helping a Hero charity fundraiser and did not charge a fee, according to ABC News.
