Chris Wallace brings out the real Bill and Hillary each time he interviews one of them.
For those who have ever visited Clintonland, it’s sometimes hard to recognize the slickly-scripted, post-White House media personalities of the Clintons: the affable, smiling Hillary seen on the campaign trial or the laid back, take-it-as-it-comes Bill who periodically surfaces for softball interviews.
But every once in a while, there’s a rare moment of clarity. That happened last year when Wallace interviewed the former president. At the end of the interview, Bill lost it. Suddenly the veneer was off, exposing the enraged, snarling, lunging Bill accusing Wallace of “do[ing] his nice little right wing hit job” when he forced Clinton to address his inability to capture or kill bin Laden.
Not a pretty sight.
And Wallace did it again in his recent interview of Hillary. Asked about the extreme partisan politics espoused by her and her husband, the real Hillary challenged Wallace. “Well, Chris, if you'd walked even a day in our shoes over the last 15 years I'm sure you'd understand."
Hillary preceded her passing moment of reality by a loud, inappropriate and mirthless laugh – a scary sound that was somewhere between a cackle and a screech. She was quick to follow it with a scripted recitation about how she wants to rise above partisanship. (Of course) But, in between, we saw a fleeting glimpse of the pervasive sense of victimization and self-righteousness that even now underscores the vicious partisanship with which both Clintons play the game of politics.
Amazingly, they seem to genuinely believe that they ar e still the targets of a “vast right-wing conspiracy” and that they are alone and under attack despite their manifest virtue and singular desire to do good.
You don’t see this authenticity very often. Hillary’s handlers have taken great pains to teach her the art of concealment, hiding her raw partisanship behind a smile and, when necessary, even a forced laugh. A laugh that’s often too long and too loud.
And so, at the beginning and the end of the Wallace interview, Hillary sounded just like a laughing hyena. Watch the video on FOX News or YouTube. You won’t laugh.
It’s part of the Hillary defense. Just as Hillary’s answers are scripted, so is her "spontaneous" laughter. This is truly learned behavior — laughing — or pretending to laugh at will. Over the past 15 years, she’s perfected the art of responding to people, questions and networks that she doesn’t like. In the past, she would sneer and answer sarcastically, as in, “Maybe I should have stayed home and baked cookies.” But those days are over. Now she smiles constantly and dissolves into a flood of loud giggles. It’s been a big part of her media training.
The mainstream media hasn’t had much to say about the laughing candidate. But can you imagine if Rudy Giuliani responded to a network interviewer by laughing loudly and hysterically for five seconds? No doubt The New York Times would seriously wonder about his state of mind. But they don’t find it odd with Hillary.
It’ll likely be a long time before we see the real Hillary again. So next time you hear her special laugh, think about what it really means.
I have heard better sounds in the bathroom.
Not dumb at all. This cackling witch knows precisely what she's doing...she wants everyone poor & dependent on the government.
Except her fellow elites & assorted euro-trash, of course.
Let’s see...The Clintons are victims...
....not Billy Dale and the Travel Office crew she fired...Not the bilked Whitewater Investors...not Willey, Jones, Broaddrick and other prey...not Foster, Parks, and other DEAD people assocaited with covering for them.
The next time Wllace hears that laugh, he’ll be standing against a wall.
‘It doesn’t matter: the American people still want the Clintons, warts and all.’
There is nothing to support this statement. On his best political day, Bill Clinton received 49% of the available votes.
And was Impeached afterwards.
Can you imagine what it must be like to be her? You can see she is pained by the necessity to conceal her true self. She’s not a spring chicken, the clock is ticking. Wasting her life on being a phony in order to obtain a power that, if she succeeds, is really not her.
Not being a TV watcher, I had never heard that cackle before, though I had heard about it here.
Even without context, you can tell it's fake - it comes from the throat, whereas a real laugh comes from somewhere deeper.
I suppose it's been calculated (by somebody) to make her appear human.

And after that, he wasn't just "Conservative." He was a "Republican" way back in Arkansas, when he was working for Bill, and they were still friends. This was was presumably before Bill punched him in the Governor's office.
And then he was a Republican before he even met Bill. I don't think any of us ever had the slightest idea...
Ah, but I think the New York Times did a piece on the “Cackle”....anyone see it? Medved said Gail Collins did a Cackle Piece that was reaaly hard hitting.
I don't get that sense. I think 40-45% of America wants the Clintons, warts and all. The rest want ANYBODY else. The one thing that can get here elected is the right third-party candidate, especially Ron Paul.
Read my tagline.
Next time you do get to see video of Hillary "laughing," be sure to watch her eyes. The eyes always give a fake laugh away, the same way the adam's apple always gave "Janet" Reno away.
I know we didn’t. Hubby and I often look at each other and say...I just couldn’t do that—be as Conservative as we are and be so polite or work for the other side—playing the game. We have principles and we’re stickin’ to ‘em.

LOLOLOLOL, heh, heh!!
;^)
Pretty bad when you crave the Presidency so bad you don’t know how to laugh. Watch GW when he laughs, its genuine.

I think I’ll record this and load it to my cellphone. Then, whenever I know I’ll be around my moonbat sister-in-law, I’ll use it as my primary ringtone.
Frustrating. Alarming. Deranged. And quite possibly true.
