Now, do you honestly think the interviewer will hire a perceivably ditzy chica who used the words "like" and "you know" as often as it rains in State College?
Do you mean someone like Hillary Clinton, hired by the voters of the state of New York to represent them in the United States Senate and who used 'you know' twenty-eight times, by my count, in her appearance on Meet the Press last Sunday???
...You know, I just have a fundamental disagreement, I guess, with the attitude of the administration with respect to a number of difficult areas. You know, I don't think it hurts us to be vigorously engaged, to be there, you know, conveying our point of view, to make sure we're aware of, you know, every possible option for both carrots and sticks.... (Hillary Rodham Clinton 02.20.05)
Beat me to it! And THIS is supposedly the smartest woman in the world! NOT!
Well, you know, she went to Wellesley, you know, and Yale Law School.
She also spoke the words 'Well, Tim' umpteen times. I have some extra time right now so let me do a re-cap for you. I counted 27 'you knows' so maybe I missed one or two. For brevity's sake, I have deleted a lot of Hillary's holy words.
Transcript for Feb. 20
SEN. HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON, (D-NY): Well, Tim, this is an issue that Senator McCain and the rest of the delegation...
SEN. CLINTON: Well, Tim, we have just finished meeting with the current prime minister...
There are lots of debates about, you know, whether we should have, how we should have, decisions that were made along the way with respect to our involvement here.
SEN. CLINTON: Well, Tim, I understand the feelings behind that call.
We don't want to send a signal to the insurgents, to the terrorists that we are going to be out of here at some, you know, date certain.
SEN. CLINTON: Well, Tim, I think that there are grounds both for concern and for, you know, vigilance about this. But again, I am willing to look at the situation and, you know, not yet jump to any conclusions.
Now, part that was because, you know, the enemy of my enemy is my friend and there was an effort in the opposition to Saddam Hussein to get support from anywhere you could.
There is a temptation on the part of the Iranians to try to fund, you know, their own interests on this side of the border.
SEN. CLINTON: Well, Tim, I'm hopeful that...
You know, I am not yet in favor of, you know, taking actions like excluding Russia from the G8.
At the end of such engagement, at the end of an effort to try to, you know, move President Putin back on the path to democracy and free market economies...
SEN. CLINTON: Well, Tim, I think...
You know, I just have a fundamental disagreement, I guess, with the attitude of the administration with respect to a number of difficult areas. You know, I don't think it hurts us to be vigorously engaged, to be there, you know, conveying our point of view, to make sure we're aware of, you know, every possible option for both carrots and sticks.
Now, one can argue that that was a deliberate strategy by the administration because, you know, in the end of the day they're more interested in regime change than in anything short of that.
You know, what Putin said the other day was they were going to try to set up some system that would involve the control over the plutonium, and, you know, take spent fuel rods in and out of Iran. I don't know how realistic that is, but, you know, it would be very difficult for us to, you know, intervene and stop that...
So I would hope, first and foremost, that, you know, we get re-engaged.
As important as Iraq is to our future in so many ways, I think we've seen that there are a number of other places around the world that can have a direct impact on our national security and, therefore, I would hope we would, you know, be able to really get to the table and see what we could do before there's any talk of anything else.
SEN. CLINTON: Well, you know, Tim, I don't think that you either rule it in or rule it out. I think that, you know, depending upon circumstances, it's something that, you know, the American government would have to, you know, consider.
But I don't believe in having any president of the United States or anybody, you know, in a position like Senator McCain and I in the United States Senate, you know, saying we would take anything off the table. But before we get to that question, let's try to, you know, deal with the many other possibilities.
SEN. CLINTON: Well, we don't know what the plan is yet, Tim.
SEN. CLINTON: Well, Tim, I was--that's right.
LOL! She sure did, didn't she? By my count, the other people said it 8 times themselves.
I wonder if Hillary was especially nervous or something?
Hillary is speaking correctly to her voting constituents.
