Analysis: Clinton Faces Likability Worry
AP ^ | December 18, 2007 | BETH FOUHY

CORALVILLE, Iowa — It was a blunt question for Hillary Rodham Clinton at the end of a long campaign day. A young man said he knew a lot of people who just didn't like her, and he wanted to know what she could do about it.

She agreed there are people who will never vote for her. "It breaks my heart, but that is true," she said, suggesting it's just part of the game when you stick to your principles. But with two weeks to go to the Iowa caucuses, her campaign is making a bigger effort to confront the nagging matter of her likability and electability.

In recent days, Clinton has begun showing off a softer side - inviting friends, New York constituents and family members to Iowa to speak for her and attest to her warmth, compassion and hearty laugh.

It has been reported that when Hillary was first lady, any military personnel in the whitehouse were instructed not to look at her directly because she did not want them making eye contact with her.

How about this one from the mid 90s (in response to concerns that HillaryCare would hurt small businesses):

“I can’t be responsible for every undercapitalized small business in this country!”

Hillary does not have a likability problem. Her problem is more a dis-likability problem, and a very serious one at that.

She has a unique ability to engender strong feelings of hatred, derision and is a uniquely despicable harridan.

Besides all of that, she is pure evil.

“It’s just part of the game when you stick to your principles.”

Notice she used the word Principles instead of convictions?

She got tired of the joke, “The Clinton’s may not have convictions but their friends do.”

Of course after the plea deal, Bill does.

Just yesterday, Rush said to expect The National Enquirer to act as the B52 and drop dirty bombs on Obama and Edwards.

Carpet bombing from the carpetbagging, carpet munching, spawn of Satan.

Duh. 50% of America does not like her. Thats been apparent for months and would be a huge issue in the general.

Therefore the other 50% do not know anything about her. Because to know her,,,,,,,

Hearty laugh? I guess the difference between a hearty laugh and a witch’s cackle is all in the eye of the beholder.

LOL!!!!!

“It breaks my heart . . . “

Sure it does. Creating enemies on purpose should never cause you worry or remorse or heartbreak.

I've heard her called "America's ex-wife". I've been saying for a long time that she's a perfect ex-wife.

Day late and a dollar short with response, but

Red Eye is a late night tongue in cheek talk show. The host, Greg Gutfeld, is pretty outrageous as are some of his panel. He gets good guests, and is a conservative, but the show is all about discussing current events and politics with a humorous take. He often has serious guests, and it’s pretty funny to see their funny sides. He has a lot of the Fox anchors and contributors plus entertainment people on. My favorites are a former CIA Agent named Mike Baker, and a former British Army officer named Kevin Godlington.

Your “dipping them in Chocolate sauce” was exactly the kind of thing Greg Gutfeld says all the time. With your sense of humor you’d probably get a kick out of him. Watch a few shows to get the feel for them, since some have better guests and flow better.

Redeye is on Fox at 3:00 am in the east and Midnight on the west coast. They also have begun a Saturday show that is on at 7:00 pm Pacific, and 10:oo pm eastern. We tivo it, and never miss it. Greatshow for those of us with bizarre senses of humor. The show has been around for almost a year now I believe. It’s a real hoot!! ;>)
