Clinton: 'I actually have emotions'

(CNN) — Democrat Hillary Clinton talked to CNN's John Roberts about tearing up on the campaign trail Monday, saying the incident proves she has emotions.

"Well you know, I actually have emotions — I know there are some people who doubt that, but you know, I really am so touched by what I hear from people," said the New York senator. "It's usually about their problems.

“It's usually a mother who throws arm around me and says thank you for the Children's Health Care insurance program, or a man who drove here all the way here from New York to say I'd saved jobs in New York. That's really moving to me. That's how I judge the job I'm doing."

"So when this woman, this really kind woman, said to me, 'Well, how are you doing?' it was so touching to me," she said. "I'm so other-oriented. You know I'm not good about talking about myself. I don't get up and think about how I'm going to present myself. I think about, 'What am I going to do today to actually make a difference in someone's life?'"

The comments are in reference to Clinton's visible display of emotion at a campaign event in Portsmouth Monday morning, following a undecided voter's question about how the New York senator is dealing with the rigors of a presidential campaign.

"It's not easy, and I couldn't do it if I just didn't, you know, passionately believe it was the right thing to do," Clinton said, her voice breaking a bit.

Yes, and while large, they don’t count as treads, disguised or otherwise.

My own pet theory is that SkyNet stopped trying to kill John Connor as an attempt to stay in existence when it realized it was simpler to just legislate themselves into existence by using T-1000 terminator units to replace the Clinton couple back in the 60s. The unit that replaced Hillary is having problems with its aging algorithm and gravity is starting to make the liquid metal sag.

You know?

When you hear Hillary, you know, say you know, you know she is winging it.

When she doesn't, you know, say you know, she has memorized her lines.

Her 'you knows' are always part of her unscripted commentary.

[Greg F]

LOL. You win!

[street_lawyer]

I can’t agree. I don’t expect the beast to be as devious and selfobsorbed as Hillary.

[TexasCajun]

Yeah, like when they hold up Edwards signs and yell:

"Hey, Hey, Ho, Ho. Status Ho has got to GO!".

fixed.

“I actually felt terrible when I realized that Vince... well... we needed to take action.”

Hillary has feelings?

I think she meant to say she actually has feelers.

[Judith Anne]

Hillary has emotions? Well, gag me with a spoon!

No one knows what its like
To be the bad man woman
To be the sad man woman
Behind blue eyes

No one knows what its like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies

Dude... that’s insulting to Darth Vader!

Thar she blows...

Good comment. Not to mention the workers in the White House Travel office that were fired so the Thompsons could get their crew in there.

Since when were arrogance, smugness, condescension, presumption and narcissism considered to be “emotions”?

[SeafoodGumbo]

Well you know, I actually have emotions

...not if you have to go around telling people...

[Miss Didi]

RUSH: All right, that's enough. We heard enough. Here's the thing. This is the sympathy play! This is the gender card again! I'm going to tell you exactly what this is. This is the latest version of invading my space. This is a reenactment with tears of the Rick Lazio moment, ladies and gentlemen. Should a man get away with bringing Mrs. Clinton to tears? Should a man, be it me, be it Obama, should a man get away with bringing Mrs. Clinton to tears? She has said, "I have so many opportunities for this country." "I have" -- How about, we have so many opportunities together, Mrs. Clinton, rather than I have so many opportunities? I this and I that. Emotional blackmail. This is calculated, make no mistake about it, folks. This is not spontaneous because nothing with the Clintons is coincidence. (cont.)


RUSH: Hillary plays the girl card again with crocodile tears.

I actually have emotions...

especially when the cameras are rolling.

[pookie18]

Nope. Fleer's:

[NRA1995]

"Well you know, I actually have emotions"

Well, yes she does; according to one of the Clinton bodyguards in Arkansas, she was heard yelling at Bill, "I NEED TO BE F**KED MORE THAN TWICE A YEAR!"

[LiveFree99]

Great minds think alike.

Did you count the “you know” in her interview!!! Let’s see: She is the most unlikable, meanest, least uncharismatic, and least eloquent person to run for President in decades, therefore no way she is going to be elected President.
