"Crony capitalism"

Former president Bill Clinton keynoted a Phoenix Democratic fundraiser Thursday evening, saying the Republican Party is dominated by "right-wing, white Southerners."
Clinton also hit the GOP for favoring the rich and practicing "crony capitalism".
Clinton also voiced support for raising the minimum wage above the $5.15 per hour federal baseline

I gotta say, as much as I dislike the man, Bill Clinton has got to be one of the most entertaining politicians in history. Rarely is there a story about him that doesn’t make me laugh, and this one is no different.

"Crony capitalism". What a great description. But what’s even better is that he made this statement at a $500-a-plate dinner. That’s priceless.

Raise the minimum wage? I found this story on Drudge, right next to a story that shows the unemployment rate has dropped yet again. Well, we can’t have that, can we? All these people working? No.

You know that has the libs in a panic. After all, if people are working, then they are paying taxes. And if people are paying taxes, they’re not going to like the Democratic Party. I can see them in their little private discussions.

Bill Clinton: "The unemployment rate has dropped again. How is my wife gonna get elected with all these people working?"

John Kerry: "I have a plan."

Ted Kennedy: "Hiccup…whatttifff……hiccup….we….hiccup……quagmire!"

John Kerry: "I have a plan."

Bill Clinton: "We need more layoffs. Quick, somebody order me a pizza and a stripper, I can’t think like this."

Howard Dean: "arrrrrgggghhhhh…….wahoooooo"

Robert Byrd: "How about a lynch mob?"

Al Sharpton: "That’s disgusting, disreputable, disillusioning, disrespectful, disgraceful, disenfranchising, disappearing, dismantling, disengaging, displaying, dislikable and racist."

John Kerry: "I was in Vietnam!"

Al Gore: "We can use a lockbox, or just sell them to the Chinese."

John Kerry: "Cheney’s daughter is gay!"

Bill Clinton: "She’s gay? Damn, she’s a hottie too."

Hillary: "Why not just raise the minimum wage?"

John Kerry: "I got it! Raise the minimum wage!"

I wonder if any of these minimum wage workers were invited to this $500-a-plate fund raiser in which Mr. Clinton bashed those evil crony-capitalists? Well, maybe if they keep raising the minimum wage….

As it climbs, so does the unemployment rate, which means more people jobless, which means more people dependent on the government, which means the Democrats take over, all while looking like they care about the ‘little man’. How’d they come up with such a brilliant strategy?
