The nouveau rich, such as the Clintons, are usually the greediest eaters at the trough; they remember the lean years and want to slurp as much as they can while they can. Old Money looks on with disdain, uses sturdy straws and sips steadily with style, thinking, “Slow down, there’s room at the Public Trough for all of us.”
There is quite a difference between her public entity speeches and her political speeches. It is one of the things the Republicans keep whining about. But I guess they like to pretend it is both ways. Will we pretend she is a dictator but an leader who gets nothing done as well? When Clinton has devoted her life to public service, this is particularly distasteful because it is exactly how Trump does act (by renting his own hotels to his party so he can funnel campaign moneys to himself, while Clinton has done nothing close to the toon depicted)
Learn English. A podium (from the Latin a place for feet) is the raised spot where a speaker stands. Having a podium in front does no good at all and so is rather stupid. I recall FDR had problems with them.
From “The Penguin Dictionary of Troublesome Words,” Bill Bryson:
.
“Lectern, poldium, dais, rostrum. The first two are frequently confused. A lectern is the stand on which a speaker places his notes. A podium is the raised platform on which he and the lectern stand. A podium can hold only one person. A platform for several people is a dais. A rostrum is any platform; it my be designed for one speaker or for several.”
The A.G. before Congress takes the 5th-like ollie north or some gangster. “I refuse to answer on the grounds of my 5th amendment rights”She is the Leader of the Dept Of Justice. Must have been a nasty hearing!

LOOK at these Emails!- (the guy who sends photos!!!!
Acted upon the SIX medias ignores Wikis emails- focuses ONLY on x rep john wieners emails.“He’s a perv”-Like Julian retreads. America stops to really look. (not @ wiki).
Next planned event: Monday, fbi director asks Attorney General for a warrant to look into weiners laptop.
H will continue “kill the messager”-the fbi!!!!(er what will she say AFTER the Election? “All’s ’fair” in love and war?" Yikes! Attacking the fbi never seen before in U.S. Presidential elections. It is NOT the “vast rt wing conspiracy” this time.
The Landlord will continue the rolling Talk Show..
ALL POLITICS and “Issues” aside, I do not think anyone wants to hear H VOICE each morning with coffee waking up.(even cnn/ms nbc muting her voice in free air videos). It’s rough running a candidate with a bad voice, but that may come down to it.
I’m with emptc12 on this one: " Old Money looks on with disdain, uses sturdy straws and sips steadily with style, thinking, “Slow down, there’s room at the Public Trough for all of us.”

I am sure Trump makes money that way along with every other politician that ever existed.

It seems Ted Rall can’t quite bring himself to endorse tRump directly. He does it by denigrating the better of the two candidates.

The perfect candidate didn’t step up. Of course, I would have preferred Bernie.

Trump is truly awful. Clinton isn’t perfect but she is underrated. She is about to be the first woman potus. That is a big friggin deal!

Expect her speaking fees to double if president!

Over paying for services like speaking is one sly way to pay them into their political coffers without violating the limit.
