ABC News' Kirit Radia reports: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton lost her cool Monday after a Congolese student, speaking through a translator, asked her what "Mr. Clinton" thought about a Chinese trade deal with the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
"You want me to tell you what my husband thinks?" Clinton replied, clearly irked by the thought of being her husband Bill's spokeswoman.

That was f-ing hilarious. In the video they said the student was Conglonese or something but he seemed like your typical Obama voter to me.

Has 0bama appointed anybody to follow Hillary around on an apology tour?
Maybe Joe Biden?

Really, it sounds like she wears the pants and Bill’s just the live-in.
It would have been better, of course, for her to ask the translator to clarify whether an ambiguous honorofic had been used.

To: Nachum
I thought Bill looked pretty nervous in that seat next to Kim Jong ILL.
Looked like he was thinking, "Too many cameras on me...I'm gonna catch it from the Beast over the next few days."
To: Nachum
Hilarious, obama, runs around saying.........." I am president".
Now Hillary runs off at the mouth saying " I am secretary of state "
So much gravitas they have to announce on a daily basis their title
Tomorrow.........I am hall monitor!

Follow Drudge's story and the video is posted.
I'm serious when I say this woman is not herself. She looks awful and sounds like a drunk with an attitude.
She's falling apart.

Couldn’t believe how bad Hillary looked! She has apparently abandoned all hope of a deceent hair style — or any style, for that matter. Her weird display of temper was off the wall for a supposed “diplomat.”

Brian Williams on NBC actually showed the clip. Remember the old expression "The Ugly American?" Well, Hillary lived up to it.
No only that, NBC actually did a piece on Congress ordering extra jets. Neither piece was flattering to either Hillary or to Congress.

Well, I don’t feel bad for her. I mean, this is Hillary we’re talking about here. But, having said that, I can sort of understand why she got pissed off.
To: Nachum
Bill has been much more effective than she. She’s being marginalized.
To: stuck_in_new_orleans
Am I the only one who feels bad for her? On this forum?... probably.
What has happened to her that she didn't bring upon herself? She doesn't have MY sympathy!

After being benched and replaced by her husband in the N.Korea hostage release, I can understand her irritation.
What was it Jan always said: "Why is it always Marcia! Marcia! Marcia!"
Hillary: "Why is it always Bill! Bill! Bill!"
To: Nachum
She was definitely pissed at the question, though the translator mistranslated the student’s question.

After watching the video, my word, she was peeved. Can’t say that I blame her and yet, what does she expect?
Perhaps she is getting really tired of playing second fiddle...second fiddle...second fiddle. Every time she turns around someone is either upstaging her, stepping into a situation that she should be handling, and contradicting her.
The enemies of this country are babies compared to the those holding the knives in the Democrat party.

She is such a loser.
She should have joked about it, and said, "since his Lewisnky problem, my husband hasn't been the same, so I know he tends to think about only one thing, which I can't say here. However, since I'm the Secretary of State, let me tell you what I think, not that anyone cares about it, though." LOL.
To: Nachum
Apparently the translator made a mistake and the student had wanted to know what President Obama thought of the deal.Barack is Mr Clinton! L0L
I would love to hear what she had to say about that LoL!

ABC is now reporting that the student later approached Hillary and clarified that he was asking about Barack.
She has to be fuming. Barry owns her.

An amazing three part video: part 1 an ad I can't cut; part 2 "Her Nibs" being every much the bitch she is; and, part 3, another ad but probably part of the problem with part 2.
Click HERE for the bitch

This represents the real "paper" dog. Enjoy.

I disagree with almost all of Hillary's politics, but I will chalk up two points for her.
First, some guy insults her and she tells the 'hole off. Good for her.
Second, look at Obama's cabinet. She's the only capable official in the bunch. Sebelius, Napolitano, LaHood, even Turbo Tax Tim? Don't make me laugh.
To: Nachum
Hillary knows she screwed up by leaving her Senate Seat. She now realizes that she was snookered into the worst Administration since the peanut farmer. And she is pissed!
