The Clintons Do a Carnegie Hall Fundraiser

Bloomberg reports on the cronies and the fawning clueless that were present:

Hillary got the fashionably late part right last night, arriving with her husband after guests had nibbled their way through the first course of salmon tartare with lemon wasabi creme fraiche.

Quickly, she made a beeline for her seat, to the immediate right of the honoree (Michael R. Bloomberg, the former New York mayor and majority owner of Bloomberg LP, the parent company of Bloomberg News, was on [Oscar]de la Renta’s left). Also seated at that table were U.S. District Judge Kimba Wood, Diane von Furstenberg and art dealer William Acquavella.

Bill Clinton took a little longer to get settled, going around the table to greet Lady Lynn de Rothschild and his son-in-law, Marc Mezvinsky.

Almost as soon as the former president sat down he got up again. Actor Alec Baldwin, who according to the most recent filing gave $5,000 to the super-PAC Ready for Hillary, came over to say hello with his wife Hilaria, just as Clive Gillinson, Carnegie Hall’s executive and artistic director, arrived at the microphone to thank the gala chairmen.

Sandy Weill acknowledged the Clintons as “two people that I really, really love,” and had a special message to deliver.
