SUPPOSE THEY ORGANIZED A CLINTON SPEECH AND NOBODY CAME?

Oh...I'm sorry...they already did.
A charity fund-raiser for Seattle Hebrew Academy and two local arts groups, which brought former President Clinton to town, was a financial bust — though not for the 42nd president.

The September event at Marion McCaw Hall cost organizers $290,000 but brought in just $288,000, according to organizers — a shortfall of $2,000 sponsors blamed on sluggish ticket sales...

But Clinton's visit made no money for either the Seattle Center Academy or Foolproof Performing Arts.
