$100K to Sit with Bill and Hillary Clinton

Israel's Yitzhak Rabin Center is charging $100,000 a pop for supporters who want to bask in the aura of former and possibly future first couple Bill and Hillary Clinton, who will be attending the center's opening next week.

A fundraising letter obtained by the New York Post asks for donations to the center - saying seating will be determined "according to the size of the contribution."

"Priority, of course, will be given to the highest contributions," the letter adds.

The Clintons will be seated at a 10-person table with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who apparently won't be charged for the honor. At the same table will be Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Jordan's King Abdullah.

  Bill and Hill are visiting Israel this weekend for 10th-anniversary commemorations of the assassination of Rabin, the Nobel Peace Prize-winning Israeli prime minister.

Israelis are ponying up "big bucks" in an apparent effort to get as close as possible to the Clintons' table, the Post said.

Rabin Center officials, however, denied there was any explicit price tag attached to the VIP seats, saying who sits where will be determined by protocol.
