Hillary Ripped By Obama Fundraiser Host David Geffen

At a closed door, press barred, star studded, L.A. based fundraiser last night, co-host David Geffen bashed former best pal Hillary Clinton and her husband former President Bill Clinton. It surprised many to see just how estranged Hillary Clinton, former Hollywood elite, has become over her initial support for the Iraq war. It is obvious that it has severely pissed off her former buddies on the Left Coast who have long memories to go along with their deep pockets.

Hillary is not David Geffen’s dreamgirl.

“Whoever is the nominee is going to win, so the stakes are very high,” says Mr. Geffen, the Hollywood mogul and sultan of “Dreamgirls,” as he sits by a crackling fire beneath a Jasper Johns flag and a matched pair of de Koonings in the house that Jack Warner built (which old-time Hollywood stars joked was the house that God would have built). “Not since the Vietnam War has there been this level of disappointment in the behavior of America throughout the world, and I don’t think that another incredibly polarizing figure, no matter how smart she is and no matter how ambitious she is — and God knows, is there anybody more ambitious than Hillary Clinton? — can bring the country together.
