'Let's Spend the Class Together'
By PATRICK HEALY
No politicians raise money like the Clintons, be it their success or ferocity or creativity. (Remember those White House teas and those Lincoln bedroom sleepovers?) Now Bill Clinton is going where no former president has gone before, to enrich Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential campaign.
Mr. Clinton will drop by a spinning exercise class on Thursday on the Upper West Side of Manhattan and speak briefly about health care and his wife's candidacy to more than 30 women and men wearing spandex, sweat shorts and the like.
Spinning involves riding a stationary cycle to music, in both standing and seated positions and at alternating resistance levels. Almost all of the 33 bikes are sold out, and the class is expected to be 3-to-2 women-to-men.
The spinners are each paying $2,300 per bike -- the maximum allowable donation to Mrs. Clinton's campaign.
Ruth Zukerman, one of the owners of the studio, SoulCycle, said she hoped to tempt Mr. Clinton to spin with the class by compiling some of his favorite songs to play during the 45-minute class.
''I know he likes the Rolling Stones, so there will be a Stones song,'' Ms. Zukerman said.
She said the event was suggested by a client, Ellen Lowey, who is a daughter-in-law of Representative Nita M. Lowey, Democrat of New York. PATRICK HEALY

do you guys really beleive clinton is a stones fan?
i mean, can he reel off a list of his favorite albums?
has he ever heard of mick taylor or exile for that matter?
or does he like satisfaction and honky tonk women and the association..
i am annoyed when people casually call themselves stones fans because there IS no such thing. |

I believe Bill Clinton is as committed to the Stones as he is to anything else -- which is to say, whenever it suits him, more rather than less, sooner rather than later, as a matter of expedience, it depends on what the meaning of "Stones" is ...
