That Clinton cackle
Boston Globe ^ | September 30, 2007 | Joan Vennochi

Posted on 09/30/2007 7:53:49 AM PDT by vietvet67

HENS CACKLE. So do witches. And, so does the front-runner in the Democratic presidential contest.

Former Bill Clinton adviser Dick Morris recently described Hillary Clinton's laugh as "loud, inappropriate, and mirthless. . . . A scary sound that was somewhere between a cackle and a screech." Politico's Ben Smith referred to Clinton's "signature cackle." Conservative radio hosts routinely play Clinton's "cackle" on their radio shows.

Yet according to a new poll, the cackler is leading her closest competitor in New Hampshire by 20 points. As a result, her challengers made her their target during last week's Hanover, N.H., debate.

Any woman who has ever been the only female in the room knows the guys are always waiting for that perfect moment - the one that makes the woman look silly, stupid, weepy or best of all, witchy. The men running against Clinton are still waiting for such an opportunity.

So far, all they have to work with is her laugh. The cackler is smooth, well-scripted, and undeterred by their now-familiar attacks.

During the debate, Barack Obama continually reminded the audience he opposed the Iraq war from the start. John Edwards stressed his remorse at casting a vote to authorize the war, an obvious contrast to Clinton's refusal to apologize for her vote. Joseph Biden tried to stir doubt about Clinton's ability to work with Congress, given the unpleasant fallout from her past dealings with Capitol Hill on healthcare.

B.S. The cackler is protected from any serious criticism by her husband and factions within the media.

Factions with the media!?! That faction is about 85% of it. I have never seen such active campaiging by the MSM for a candidate like this since Kennedy in ‘60.

Giving away my age here.

the globe on how to make lemonade with lemons, while you're insinuating pre-made thoughts into the minds of the willing masses.

roughly translated, "sure she's a witch, she's everything you say she is, but that ain't stopping her."

where's the barf alert?

had i just said “the media”, someone other than you would have said something akin to “well, not all of the media”. damned if i do, damned if i don’t. forgive my choice of words, then, for using “faction” and insert whatever floats your boat. still, i think you got the gist of it.

thanks.

Yet another calculated reason for the RAT strategy of the endless campaign cycle. In this way, there will be nothing to deter voters by the time the election begins in earnest - they’ve seen and heard it all before. In a similar way, the endless scandal (propagandist call them ‘attacks’)inoculates the guilty perps against outrage since the public tires of the endless parade of corruption and tunes it out - or worse, stupidly disbelieves accounts of true crime.

We’ve all seen how the krinton krime syndicate and their presstitute lackeys have operated before...

Seems to me that Joan Vennochi is telling us volumes about the work environment at the Boston Globe. Where I work, men far outnumber the women (defense engineering) especially when you're not at a meeting involving the business or HR folks. I have never witnessed, nor engaged, in the kind of behavior that Joan says "the guys are always" doing.

Perhaps Joan should find a place to work that isn't so hostile to women.

I’ve noticed that even some major Media Slime News have really been playing this up = (hope their life insurance policies are current) -= one wonders if they smell defeat for her in Nov 08 and, true to the eat-their-own proclivity of Socialists, are hedging their bets and getting ready to turn on her should it look like she’s going to loose in Nov 08

This is written by Joan Vennochi, who would be thrilled to perform a Lewinsky on either the former IMPOTUS or the current candidate.

I live in this area, I know. She is a hateful BDS sufferer who occasionally emerges from her feminist liberal fever swamp to open her predictable piehole.

If this is true regarding Hitlery’s lead; then one knows that someone is cooking the books.

It like a guy in the music business said; yesterday you needed real talent; today we can make a monkey sound good.

Take note, Hitlery is that monkey.

I would think the raw material for impeachment would be oozing out of every drainpipe in DC if she takes the throne.

By the way, we should demand an inventory of the premises before she leaves.

Standard feminazi andro-phobia(irrational fear of men). Women are victims just because they are women and men are perpetrators just because they are men. 1970's boilerplate BS from the paranoid hillary-crones. I doubt most women in truth have ever had this experience.

No question of where Ms. Venochi’s sympathies lie: After laying out how Hillary’s competitors haven’t been able to put a glove on her, she ends with “giggle, giggle”

What is the saying..when the people realize they can vote themselves money then it's all over... Hillary is promising the masses other people's money. How can she lose?

This "victim" society is so dumbed down, has lost so much of the character that made this country great, that preventing this tsumani into morbid socialism seems inevitable, just like they planned it. I remember the scene in "It's a Wonderful Life" where Jimmy Stewart sees what his town would be like if he hadn't lived. When that movie was made that sort of town was unthinkable. But not now.

This is hilarious!

They are attempting to inure us to the hildebeast by focusing on and highlighting an aspect of her “character” that is readily apparent to all of us (and universally repellent to us as well!), but something that no self-respecting pol would bring up.

I don’t give a damn about her cackle - I care about her ideas. Her cackle is shrill, jarring, and assaultive to the senses, but NOTHING compared to the communist ideas that she advocates.

Nice try guys, but it isn’t going to work!

Hillary is a leftist moral crusader. Her zeal — though attenuated for the public per Alinski — is authentic, and people can sense it. She is the most authentically core-driven candidate out there right now.

never looked at it that way. Jimmy Stewart has been figuratively removed from society.

Does he exist? Is he silent? Out golfing? Has he been yoked by emasculating laws and threats? Is he addicted to pornography? Is he afraid that living in his town will cost him too much?

She will never, ever get MEN to vote for her. I am not talking about Rush Limbaugh's "New Castrati". I am talking about Normal Men.

Her crusty pantsuitness's voice is like chalk on a board. It is the sound etched deep into the primordial areas of Man's Brain.

It is the sound of a woman who is very, VERY angry at him.

Her voice is shrill...and resonates a perfect, exquisitely awful dissonance at certain frequencies.

Primordial Man first heard that sound when he dragged his filthy, muddy ass into that clean, dry cave and was lit into by Primordial Woman because he didn't clean the swamp ooze off of his feet, or the Wooly Mammoth guts off of his malodorous fur skin.

That is the voice of Hillary Clinton. She tries to hide it. Oh, she tries sooooo hard. But no matter how hard she tries, there are times she opens that mouth and every man with that Primordial Man inside him, hears Her voice.

Of course, men with the Primordial woman inside them are just fine with her. They LIKE it.

Listen to this: Shrill Hillary-"I'M SICK AND TIRED..." and this: Hillary maniacal laughing-"HA HA HA HA..." and tell me that I am not 100% correct.

Hillary’s cackle is a signal that the questioner, or question being asked, is beneath her contempt. It’s really a psycho defense mechanism.

Hillary has swallowed a lot of anger. She’s really quite mad.

I dunno. In politics, anything is possible. But I still think that as the campaign wears on there's going to be a lot of democrats that silently fear that this is turning out to be the best they can come up with. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a last minute substitution. I still think there's even democrats that would crawl over broken glass to vote against her.

OR, they'll just stay home.

Sadly, just like so many in the GOP that will stubbornly refuse to vote for a candidate that isn't "good enough" for them, which will be all of the front runners.

Which brings us back to the last minute substitution. Come spring, when the reality of Hillary begins to settle in like a case of the flu, just about any Dem governor that doesn't drool when he talks could sweep the nomination at the DNC convention.

Enough Republicans will stay home to ice it, and likely even make a landslide of it.

The troops will be brought home, Iraq and Afghanistan will become killing fields, Iran will be emboldened, the 12th Imam will be unveiled, the middle east will be united under his new banner and a new age of "understanding" will begin with Islam in America.
