Hillary Clinton Watch: McAuliffe Puts The ARM on Hollywood
Los Angeles Times: McAuliffe seeks Clinton believers
Listen up! Terry McAuliffe wants a hand count.
“Who’s with Hillary?” he asks a small gathering of ultra-power brokers assembled for a dinner party at media mogul Haim Saban‘s palatial Beverly Hills estate Sunday evening. “Come on!” he says.
“Pulp Fiction” producer Lawrence Bender, brave soul, is the only one to keep his hand down: “I’m with Obama.”
“Ah,” says McAuliffe, chairman of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton‘s (D-N.Y.) presidential campaign. He’s on a roll, funny and charming and deadly serious.
“This isn’t the John Kerry campaign,” he quips. “You are either with us or you’re against us.”
Call it a hard sell and humor mixed with a heavy dose of better-watch-out. McAuliffe is in town this week, promoting his book, “What a Party!” His message is clear: Get off the fence, you Hollywood doubters.
Supporting multiple candidates? “That’s the dumbest thing I ever heard.”
Former Democrat National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe is out trolling for Hollywood presidential campaign cash for Hillary.
He is taking names trying to FREEZE OUT Obama who has a Hollywood fundraising event on February 10.
And do you think he is kidding about being with them?
NOPE
But, this election should Mayor Rudy Giuliani win the GOP nod Hillary and/or Obama may have competition for Hollywood campaign cash.
“Bill Clinton might forgive you if you give to other candidates,” McAuliffe teases guest Nicole Avant, the daughter of the mega-political Clarence Avant, music industry guru. “But not Hillary. No way. She’s tough.”
Avant smiles coyly. She won’t say whom she supports.
“How are you ever going to get the Paris ambassadorship?” McAuliffe continues. “Get on board.”
Sounds like McAuliffe is selling PARDONS again for the Clintons.
Stay tuned…….
