You can auction off a week's vacation, via private jet, in Punta Cana with You, Bill & Henry!

You can include Huma & Carlos, your 2 brothers, & Rahm & Mrs. Emanuel.

Gosh! It will be such a swell affair!


What have those 2 wacky Rodham guys been up to?

Written FOR Hillary...I doubt she would appreciate you using her words to attack her friend.
