Sometimes we forget that before Howard Deans infamous YEARRRGH! moment, there were a bunch of signs that he was hitting the skids beforehand. First there were a couple of brusque debate moments I remember Peggy Noonan comparing him to a teapot that looked ready to boil over. But the other big warning sign came when a guy at an Iowa town hall meeting asked for less negative campaigning and a Biblical teaching of love thy neighbor, and Dean gruffly snapped to a George Bush is not my neighbor. When the questioner interrupted Dean, he shouted, You sit down! You had your say, and now I'm going to have my say."
It wasnt Iowa friendly.
It wasnt a total meltdown, but Hillary Clintons interview with NBCs David Gregory this morning might be another one of those red-flag moments. The guys at NewsBusters have a transcript and video highlights.
I understand Hillary's urge to emphasize the Des Moines Register endorsement, but she returns to it robotically, and just refuses to acknowledge Gregorys question about recent lines of attack on Obama.
I guess the reaction to this exchange will come down to whether you think it's legitimate to ask Hillary about her husband saying that electing Obama is a crapshoot. Gregory tries to get some specifics, on what makes Obama so risky, and she just keeps ignoring it, and saying You get change through hard work. Theres quite a bit of crosstalk, and after the fourth or fifth invoking of the endorsement, if it were in person, one wonders if she would whack Gregory with a rolled up Des Moines Register newspaper, and say, Read it! Read it!
I suspect that mext year, if Hillarys president, David Gregory is going to be the first taxpayer to get daily audits.

Amateur speech habits
“Ya know....”
She is also using that to distract, divert, or stall to think of something to say
A high school student or college student would not pass a speech course if they spoke like that
Himself. But this time he may have, however unintentionally, served a better purpose.
If not the first term, the second, third, fourth, fifth...
I know. We all speak slang in everyday life I think, but if you are making public speeches you’ve got to do better.
I don’t think that the endorsement of any newspaper has the impact it once had in American politics.
The internet and television has swamped the editorial pages of the dinosaur print media. By the time something appears on the pages of a paper, it has been digested many times from the internet, and we have seen repeat after repeat on the TV with 24 hour “news” shows.
In general, I think the wheels will come off the Clintons long before November of 2008.
Your little dogs have more brains than about half of the American voting public. They know a danger to them when they hear it.””
How about this?-— When everyone has to switch to HD TV next year, we will be treated to every pore and line in the face of this witch. Don’t you think the makeup will be pasted on like whitewash?
God- this is going to be hard on the eyes for everyone.
And this is the one cited by the PRC official in 1997 as a textbook-perfect propagandist speaking mildly saying nothing.
Is it any wonder her minions have had to keep her in a tight corset so she does not inflict verbal damage upon herself when she is left alone to answer meaningful, hard questions, not the easy and frivolous playtime questions that are planted by her cronies that she has had ample time to come up with a stupid and vacuous answer along with the hysterical inappropriate laughter?
That's what happens ...
... when 'hate' consumes a person. Haggard and old, and havin' to pay for yer p^ssie.
One of my ex-wives wound-up lookin' like that ................... FRegards
Yeah, I keep getting married - so what? Some of us are playing to win ...
Wow, just saw the video. Gregory rips her up - he’s relentless. Hill comes off very, very bad. Like a robot stuck on the same answer no matter what is asked. She definately can’t bob and weave like Bubba. A deer in the headlights.

Slick Willie had talent and mucho training when speaking
Hillary has nothing but guile and ice
She can’t even fake warmth
As Bill know so well
All the best Clinton stories are now the negative ones. There is nothing positive left to spin. Plus, Obama is a potential untapped bonanza of human interest and background stuff, and the historical angle, which will make easy writing for the barstool journalists who live off this crap.

LOL!
LOL!
LOL!
UNGH! SHE IS TERRIBLE IN AN INTERVIEW!
All she can spew is endless sound bytes and talking points. Overly coached, ornery when questioned and altogether the whole thing appears to be a huge inconvenience judging by the look on her face. Gregory should be more than worried about who follows him home tonight.
I'm envisioning the need of a "Hillary Cackle List" to accompany the "Arkancide" threads here at FR - LOL!
Here's a link to the YouTube web site using the search "Cackle". Hope you enjoy! Please don't drink anything "messy"...
Her cackle reminds me of the end of the first Batman movie, when The Joker (Jack Nicholson) dies at the end, and he has that laugh box in his jacket. He is just laying there with a grin on his face, and the laugh going off.
