My daughter called the other day and wanted to know if it was all right to feel glee at Hillary's distress and I told her, first of all, she feels no distress, and yeah, go ahead and enjoy it.

I saw only righteous indignation. She even sounded irritated at one of the pre-planned questions.

If the Clinton's are going to win over the Obama's, they had better get their email stories straight.

" You have to give the Clinton’s "

Bzzzt.

RAD - Random apostrophe disease. The apostrophe is possessive when it precedes "s". For the plural, use only "s" with no apostrophe.

For example: "The drunken, stupid frat rat's embarrassed the entire state" would be incorrect.

"The drunken stupid frat rats embarrassed the entire state" would be correct.

Just sayin'. :)

I did not have sexual relations with email any classified ....

Brilliant, huh? Srsly?! I think it was a trainwreck that Cheryl Mills had to abruptly end as her boss continued to embarrass herself.

One of these days there will be armed rebellion against the grammar police.

Hillary’s presser yesterday was absolutely brilliant. That isn’t necessarily a positive thing though. It was everything you would expect from a Clinton, a complete show. It was magnificent in its production value. It didn’t accomplish anything for Hillary, if anything it created more questions for her to answer. However in terms of its political theater value, the production was magnificent, brilliant and 100% Clintonian. I enjoyed every second of its absurdity.

In the wake of Hillary Rodham Clinton's fairly disastrous press conference at the United Nations on Tuesday, there's only one conclusion shared by all parties: This was not how it was supposed to go.

The "carefully scripted" plan may have been brilliant in its deception, but its execution went so far off the rails that ridicule overwhelms any possible remaining luster.

Exhibit A: when your handler has to shut your 'brilliant' news conference down by coming up to your podium, taking away your answer binder, and leading you offstage like a toddler, any 'brilliance' is gone.

I agree no one bought her story. That doesn’t mean the show wasn’t brilliantly entertaining.

[OKSooner]

One of these whats?

You’re welcome.

I didn't watch it live but saw excerpts of it later.

Hillary looked old.

Hillary is old.
