Hillary to Iowa Voters: None of Your Bees Wax   [Jonah Goldberg]

So much for listening tours. From the Des Moines Register:

Iowa Falls – Iowans have noticied that Democrat Hillary Clinton is not taking public questions from audiences during her final-push campaign rallies.

After her 40-minute monologue ended shortly before 10 p.m. Sunday, Clinton immediately began to sign autographs, pose for photographs and listen to caucusgoers’ concerns one on one.

Iowa Falls resident Alene Rickels, 51, when asked her thoughts about the event, said: “Her speech was really good, but it would’ve been interesting to see how she reacted to questions.

“I really thought she would take questions,” said Rickels, a middle school teacher. “It’s late in the day, so I’m assuming that that’s the reason. I don’t know what she did the rest of the day.”

Clinton took no questions from audiences at any of her stops earlier Sunday, in Vinton, Traer and Cedar Falls.

Hillary!, you can’t treat your subjects this way. If you continue in this manner, nobody will even want to make butter sculptures of you.

[NaughtiusMaximus]

Mrs. Clinton, if you can’t govern your husband’s behavior, what makes you think you can govern the United States?

You mean that question?

[EDINVA]

if she can’t plant her questioners she ain’t taking no questins. it’s as simple as that.

“I’m beginning a conversation with you, with America.”

More anti-truth, anti-freedom, anti-life lies here...

Hillary will NEVER take questions from an unscreened audience.

[untwist]

Keep the pressure on. Questions create pressure for her. Maybe she’ll give us more details about how she put her life in danger during her “experience” as first lady.

A Listening Tour, minus the listening...

A 40-minute monologue, with that voice. I imagine the whole crowd was just mesmerized.

Ask me no questions, I’ll tell you no lies...

[Piquaboy]

Hillary’s babbling tour. Does anyone know where she parks her broom? I want to twist a few of its straws so that it cork screws through the air.

Hillary’s! conversation with America: “I talk, you listen”

[samtheman]

Maybe she’s afraid the Pakistani military is gunning for her, too, and the best thing to do is keep moving and keep a low profile.

Oh, she's listening just fine. It's the answering part she doesn't like. :) She knows that when she's unscripted she's also unlikeable.

[Mygirlsmom]

Her standard M.O. is not something that's sustainable through the generals.

The veneer will crack at some point, and hopefully, there will be multiple cameras there to pick it up. (That or one guy who can run REALLY FAST!) Youtube will be her undoing.

[milwguy]

‘Ask me no questions and I will tell you no lies’ That is the motto of Clinton and her minions. Even old Chelsea dissed a 9 year old ‘reporter’ when she tried to ask a question. The Clintons are royalty, and we knaves should not be so presumptuous to believe we are allowed to actually question them.

[G Larry]

I disagree.

The MSM is so damn liberal that they are likely to allow Hillary to review any “Interview” questions PRIOR to the event.

Additionally, watch how any supposed “debate” is staged to avoid Hillary having to answer any serious questions.
Yes, even in the General election.

[PLD]

Hillary just as well drop out of the race she is not going to be the choice of the Dem's for President..I heard this morning that little Muslim boy will be the new president..this was by a medium that is usually wrong anyway but just thought I would let Hillary know she needs to save her money..

[sig226]

She means that they have to listen to her. I’m going to the UN Commission on human rights. If Abu Ghraib was bad, this is unconscionable.

[monocle]

It’s a listening tour alright - the audience is mandated only to listen.
