HILLARY:At Ease on the Stump, and Showing Flashes of Humor
The New York Times ^ | November 3, 2006 | PATRICK HEALY

Posted on 11/03/2006 1:01:57 AM PST by Cincinna

Close friends of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton are always saying that she has a great sense of humor — witty, sarcastic, playful — and that skeptical voters would come around if they saw that part of her personality.

Well, skeptical voters, take note: Mrs. Clinton has had some pretty amusing moments on the campaign trail this fall, wearing her personality on her sleeve more than she has in the past.

This campaign season has been something of a dress rehearsal for Mrs. Clinton, as she considers auditioning for a bigger role in 2008. Her political issues, campaign advertisements and public persona are being calibrated for her to go national — if she decides to go for it.

Yesterday was a good example: She appeared before a group of black clergy members in Lower Manhattan, sounding conservative-friendly themes about faith and adoption, and reminiscing about her minister and church potlucks. Then, just when it all started to feel a bit pious, Senator Clinton let loose with an arch bit of biblical analysis about modern-day pessimism, a moment that was both engaging and humanizing.

She described today’s naysayers as akin to the Back to Egypt Committee — followers of Moses who moaned and groaned that life was better under the pharaoh. Droning on like the Debbie Downer character from “Saturday Night Live,” she said:

“There’s always gonna be somebody to say: ‘You know, I think we should go back to Egypt. We can’t transform bad housing, we can’t do it, we can’t afford it, we don’t know how to do it. Do we really want those people in our church? Are we supposed to be parenting these children? Where are their parents? Do we want to get in the business of educating after school, preschool?’

I don't think I would ever put "Hillary" and "humor" in the same sentence! And I think "flashes" describes that thing we older women go through from time to time.

Just another Democrat with no sense of humor and can not tell a joke. What they think is funny no one else even understands what they are talking about. It takes the MSM to explain in many news cycles what they were really saying and what they really meant to say, and we get many versions of that. So, in reality the Democrat can tell one bad joke and we will hear 5 to 10 different versions of that joke and it's meaning. What a terrible waste of time.

For about a month now one hasn't been able to turn on the t.v. without being inundated with political adds.
For the next two years ya gotta know there will be one big add by shills like the N.Y. Times and other m.s.m. outlets for Mrs. Clinton.

I notice some negative stories about Obama are already starting to appear, courtesy of the Queen of Sheeple.

Oh? I suppose that means the Hillary yukfest has brought these thigh-slappers of her personality to the campaign trail:

Yeah, she's a comedy legend.

Now she is at ease and telling jokes, next the NYT will be telling us she is the reincarnation of Mother Teresa. It is going to be a long two years.

I've hated that Patrick Healy ever since he murdered Molly Pettibone.

Oddly, that's the perfect description of the DUmmies; Hillary is about as rhetorically deft as John Kerry.

Got that right. I saw that Sidney Blumenthal crawled of his slimy hole the other day to write an article. That's the Clinton version of a groundhog. Won't be long before Carville, Begala, Lanny Davis and Ann Lewis are running amok again on the airwaves.

Did you hear about Hillary?
She is ugly and shrillary.
She is a slippery, slimy slug.
Between her eyes, socialism lies.
But between her thighs,
(unfinished because I have to barf)

Hillary is one of the worst public speakers I've ever seen. She cannot stop talking down to her audience.

Snort. This has been the lamest campaign I have ever seen. With the stiffest candidate. All I can say is I can't wait for Hillie to run for prez.

Run, Hillie, run....

Hillary will never win on a national level, and here is why:

Her voice.

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 primordal 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.

Primordal Man first heard that sound when he dragged his filthy, muddy ass into that clean, dry cave and was lit into by Primordal 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 Primordal Man inside him, hears Her voice.
