The Clinton Conundrum: What’s Behind the Laugh?
The New York Times ^ | September 30, 2007 | PATRICK HEALY

Posted on 09/29/2007 7:12:28 PM PDT by AmericanMade1776

It was January 2005, and Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton had just finished a solemn speech about abortion rights — urging all sides to find “common ground” on the issue and referring to abortion as “a sad, even tragic choice to many, many women.”

Stepping offstage, she took questions from reporters, and found herself being grilled about whether she was moderating her own pro-choice position. And suddenly it happened: Mrs. Clinton let loose a hearty belly laugh that lasted a few seconds. Reporters glanced at one another as if they had missed the joke.

But nothing particularly funny had occurred; it was, instead, a deployment of the Clinton Cackle.

At that moment, the laugh seemed like the equivalent of an eye-roll — she felt she was being nitpicked, so she shamed her inquisitors by chuckling at them (or their queries). But friends of hers told a different story: She has this fantastic sense of humor, you see, but it’s too sarcastic to share with the general public because not everyone likes sarcasm. (Mrs. Clinton, for example, sometimes likes to tweak people for missing an obvious point by saying to them, “Hello?”

I watched the video of the klinton kackles and think it’s compulsive — a manifestation of hysteria, like a nervous twitch.

It has been a well-noted and long recognized fact that hostile and nasty women, when confronted with the reality of their nastiness, respond with a glacial grimace intended to be a smile, and a cackle something like the breaking of cold glass or warm ice, intended to be laughter. You can see it on news clips, interviews, speeches, all over the media. Just be alert to it and it jumps out at you. Clinton is not different from most nasty women in this: that she can't handle her own inner narcissistic rage without trying to censor it with a skeletal caricature of a grin such as we have been vouchsafed by eunuchs like Mr. Potato Head and other assorted liberal a**wipes.

In short, when douche bags like Clinton laugh, they are covering up intense psychotic rage. Just consider her having the police power of the State at such a time.

Or maybe she doesn't carry her cell phone around like Roody does to stall an answer. So she laughs instead. Probably changes the subject so she won't have to answer the question.

Reporter: 'So, Ms. Clinton. Is there any reason to stand by your man anymore"
Hillabeans: 'Hahahahahahaha! shriek, gurgle, sputt..sputt..! Yes, I think we should take a closer look at the constitution and see if there are any antiquated liberties the folks won't need after I'm elected.'

I wonder if ‘the laugh’ is simply the way she is - which is why her handlers have kept her, lo these many years, out of unscripted situations they can’t control - let out there on her on, she may well self-destruct as people finally see the real Hitlery

BTW - by now, her Thighness has become aware of how her cackle backfired - it may be interesting to see what they’ll contrive next...

Being yourself is always the best bet - unless you’re Hillary.

All I think of in relation to this, is when she isn’t confined to the camera lens. “F-ing Jew Bastard!” cold callous outbursts is the result.

HA!

That’s good!

Replace “bababababa” with “evilevilevil”.

BOR’s body language lady said that’s what she heard in that “laugh”.

No...Thats not why, The NY Times is lying again as Usual.
Hillary Rotten Clinton, Laughs when asked a question because it is the exactly correct assumption of the truth about Her! Rush identified this long ago! She will Laugh when the question “Hits the Nail on the Head” she was asked if She was “Moderating” Her Position on Abortion, and She was!!! She Laughs to deflect the Listener from the question, and establish Her implyed disbelief! at the error of the questioner, ( Without denying it) this is the Crooked Lawyer Tactic) ( exactly what She is.)
then with a wave of her hand she “ dismisses it”

She would Lie to the American Public about anything...

She should never be allowed to Hold office in any position.
