Hillary Rodham Clinton, speaking to reporters at her campaign HQ in Virginia, claims that no Bubba bucks were used for the $5 million loan she made to her campaign in January -- the check came from her piece of the family fortune.

"I loaned the campaign $5 million from my money.. I believe very strongly in this campaign," said Clinton, who earned a reported $8 million advance for her autobiography Living History a few years back. "The results last night proved my investment was correct."

Why the emphasis on "my?"

"The loan is from Senator Clinton's share of their joint resources," we were told by a Clinton spokesman.

The senator refused to say if she planned to lend the campaign any more cash.

1. She got free publicity from the Nevada Dem Party when Billbo demanded that Harry Reid

fly him to Reno to speak at a Lake Tahoe summit forum in August. $12,000. was given to the jerk after he pushed Al Gore out of the event so Billbo could travel to the event. Dem Party had to pay. He then campaigned for Hillary. No other presidential candidate's spouse was given the same treatment.

2. It's her cash and she earned it. I still don't get what people are doing making a

big deal about her loaning her campaign 5 million for. She just recieved a huge bill with the Hallmark station event.
