Hillary Tears Up
2008-01-08
A Muskie moment, or a helpful glimpse of 'the real Hillary'?
"It's just so hard!"

#18  Yep Bennedito. The free world needs a President that knows how to weep and wail when you don't get your way. Now that is what I call a loser (remember another loser Dhimmicrat, Al Gore?).

#15  "Don't do it for me, do it for the children."
-A plea for votes from a lip-quivering Bill Clinton

"Some people think that elections are a game, it's about who's up or who's down. It's about our country and it's about our kids' future."
-A plea for votes from a lip-quivering Hillary Clinton


Can we change the channel? I think I've seen this movie before.

#14  The mrs., who leans left, flat out denounced hillarity for this deal. "Hillary should not be president," she said, "but instead of maybe having a female president in 4 or 8 years, it could be more than 30 years because nobody want to see a woman lose control and break down crying in public, especially someone who wants to be president."

Have to agree EU6305, it isn't 'if' we need national health care it is always 'how much and how soon', and that the change comment was so awkward I can't even find good snark for it unless they mean pennys for paychecks.

#13  #12; "Hillary claimed that she has been working for 35 years to bring change."

35 years? And she ain't succeeded yet?

So why would I want to give her another chance to fail at my expense, exactly?

You're right, EU - the only change she's interested in is turning America into a communist socialist nation, with her and her cronies as the ones "more equal than others."

Pfui.

#12  Critics say Mr. Penn underestimated the electorate's appetite for change as the campaign promoted her Washington experience, a charge he contests.

I watched the debates last Saturday and it seem like "change" and health care were all they wanted to talk about. Richardson kept blathering about how the Iraq war was taking money we could use on health care. Hillary claimed that she has been working for 35 years to bring change.

So I finally started thinking: I have health insurance and I'm afraid that when they say change it's really a code word for socialism. So why do I need these people?

Answer: I don't.

#7  From the Wall Street Journal:
As is typical in campaigns, Sen. Clinton's travails have ignited infighting within her organization, much of it aimed at pollster and chief strategist Mark Penn. Critics say Mr. Penn underestimated the electorate's appetite for change as the campaign promoted her Washington experience, a charge he contests. "On the very first day of the campaign, Sen. Clinton talked about the bold change we need, and the campaign slogan began 'Ready for Change.' ... So it has always been a central part of the campaign," he said in an email.
People are ready for a change, but not change back to the Clintonistas.

#4  Even the strongest cry. But not for their loss of power or dreams, but for those comrades who have given their last full measure of devotion to each other. It's not about issues or office. It's about the willingness to give that which most precious, life itself for the future of those near to you. It's not about SELF. It's not about POWER. It's about a concept of HONOR and RESPECT that is timeless.

#3  Planted question. Rehearsed response. 'Humanizing' moment artfully placed.

#1  Too much campaign trail pizza, frequent flying, sleep deprivation, lack of exercise, stress, cariovascular strain, anger, fits of crying and resultant hyphohydration......all well deserved and I love it!
