Hil's fund-raiser tries free enterprise
Things aren't so good when you need to send out free tickets to a fund-raiser.
Senator Hillary Clinton's camp is quietly offering comps for a reelection event next Friday, to be held at Diane von Furstenberg's studio, meant to dig into the pockets of the gay community.
The former First Lady was damaged last month after a leaked internal memo from a gay rights group criticized her record on same-sex reform. The Empire State Pride Agenda's executive director, Alan Van Capelle, said he thought rewarding such a lackluster performance with a fund-raiser would "actually hurt" the gay community.
"I got two telephone calls from people who are high profile in the community, and they were asked to come for free," says one veteran activist. Paying guests of the fund-raiser are expected to part with at least $500.
