Awww, this is nice. Looks like Hilary Rosen and Jonathan Chait have a kindred spirit in Media Matters’ Eric Boehlert:
gave the Clinton Foundation $50K, but who's keeping track….. https://t.co/uY49q1XrJ4

Not Eric, apparently. Guess he missed the news that George actually donated at least $75K:
@EricBoehlert 75k

Oops. Well, no matter. What bothers him isn’t that Stephanopoulos is super-sketchy and ethically challenged, but that the good name of the Clinton Foundation is being besmirched!
"tainted" because of a donation to charity. interesting days…..

You know what’s really interesting, Eric?
You put the scare quotes on the wrong word. RT @ericboehlert: "tainted" because of a donation to charity. interesting days…..

Yep.
Huh? This is about the Clinton Foundation, not a charity. Try to keep up, Eric. https://t.co/DqouExdqfl

That’s some “charity,” all right.
@EricBoehlert Rush said it is a slush fund, so yeah…

@TheVeritable at this pt, half the DC press treats Clinton Foundation as "slush fund." makes the story so much more interesting…..
— Eric Boehlert (@EricBoehlert) May 14, 2015
Dude. It is a slush fund.
Because charities are never corrupt… http://t.co/EUiBWU0qqU
Smart take https://t.co/7GlhGtTZB8— PissedOffPeasant (@mikepfingston2) May 14, 2015
so people shouldn't donate to charities….smart take. https://t.co/3JcJKzmu9g
— Eric Boehlert (@EricBoehlert) May 14, 2015
Almost as smart as yours, Eric!
@EricBoehlert @ScaldingHotTake if it's not a big deal, why did GS apologize? It's the failure to disclose, btw, not the fact that he gave.
— Matthew Kelsey (@mkkelsey) May 14, 2015
