Clinton debt NOT $30 million -- LA Times issuing a correction...
(*UPDATE: Due to a mathematical error, Hillary Clinton's loans to herself were added twice in the calculation of this item. Her total debts are about $20 million, not $31 million. A corrected item will be published shortly.)

People are very quick to believe what they want to believe. That's what con artists (and politicians) depend on.

3. Bwahahahaha! I just told a friend that it appears to be 19.5 Mil.
At most.

Maybe closer to 12 million.


All you fuckers who told me to apologize can kiss my sweet southern educated redneck ass.


And apologize to me. I'll be waiting.

5. Why would they make such an error?
These are not difficult reports to understand.

Do they have an agenda?

13. They said it was a simple arithmatic error. Whoever was adding it
counted her loan, then later forgot they had counted her loan and re-counted it. They then issued an immediate correction. Errors happen in journalism. "An agenda" is ridiculous here.

Simple arithmetic error?

Sounds more like a "Math" error.

It is unacceptable.
And looking for victimization? I'm not doing anything of the kind.

Mistakes happen, I guess. :eyes:

28. Looking at an immediate correction and suggesting "an agenda"
is indeed looking for victimization. There is no agenda at play here.

15. I think it's because last month, her report didn't include the personal loan, so maybe they assumed?

9. It's a strange day when "my candidate has $50,000,000 less than yours" is gloatworthy.

10. oh, she's only 20 million in debt- not a great foundation for a general election warchest
I dont understand how 49% of the dem votes have gone her way, she has "corporate buddies" and library donors, but still cant raise money. This is quite a contrast to Obama who won 51% (slightly more than half) and he has more than 1.5 million donors and is on his way to having raised a billion dollars if current trends follow.

27. She could do some garage sales and make up the difference in say,
40 years.

Maybe some of Mark Penn's pals could donate.
