Hillary has hunted ducks(Her varmit hunting moment?)

For all of Obama's weakness on the gun issue that I detail below, Hillary's attempts to exploit the "bitter" issue may have gone a step too far yesterday in Indiana.

As a past advocate for gun control, she's approaching Mitt and varmints territory here.

As reported by CNN's Peter Hamby:

“You know, my dad took me out behind the cottage that my grandfather built on a little lake called Lake Winola outside of Scranton and taught me how to shoot when I was a little girl,” she said.

“You know, some people now continue to teach their children and their grandchildren. It’s part of culture. It’s part of a way of life. People enjoy hunting and shooting because it’s an important part of who they are. Not because they are bitter.”

Minutes later, in a slightly awkward moment, Clinton faced a question from a woman in the audience whose son had been paralyzed by a gunshot. The woman asked Clinton what she would do about gun control as president.

Clinton touted her husband's record on gun control during his administration, and said "there is not a contradiction between protecting Second Amendment rights" and the effort to reduce crime.

Noting that many hunters and gun collectors want to keep weapons out of the hands of criminals, Clinton referred to her positive childhood experiences with firearms.

"As I told you, my dad taught me how to shoot behind our cottage,” she said. “I have gone hunting. I am not a hunter. But I have gone hunting."

Clinton said she has hunted ducks. Quack.

Hunting down Bill’s girlfriends doesn’t really count.

She should have asked, “who shot your son?” “Why”

“I have gone hunting. I am not a hunter. But I have gone hunting."

Actually, I find that refreshing. She's not claiming to be an every-weekend hunter, a la Jean Querrie.

But she has done it.

Give her credit for honesty (it happens rarely enough).

She's getting her ducks in a row, again.

She was talking all morning about what a wonderful childhood she had, and how her parents taught her everything right.

Guess what, Hillary? Some of us actually know that your parents were very strong Republicans, and you were raised a Republican.

Guess she forgot that part.

100 to 1 says she's lying.

I heard she was duck hunting once with Jimmy Carter, but the hunt had to be canceled due to the arrival of a squadron of attack rabbits, forcing her to sit on her flak jacket and jump for cover as the dingy spiraled back to port. Kerry put in for a Purple Heart, but she refused. It was the least she could do for her country. But she did go straight to church.

Every time she starts a sentence with “You know” (she does it a lot) she is lying. “You know” is her tic.

Cut her some slack. I've played hockey, but I'm not a hockey player.
at least she's telling lies nobody can disprove.

“As far as lame attempts go...this was a dandy.”

Every time I’m flipping the dial and hit a new station showing her speak on just about anything, she sounds more and more lame. With her pandering weak pre-polled, pre-fabricated speaking, it’s worse than any noise I can recall.

I just found myself saying shut the... And then I flip the dial and then it’s Saturday nite Bill and he’s doing his ‘routine’ and I’m like “shut up” already.

How anybody can stand to listen to either of them is beyond me. It’s utterly vapid, inane and complete. b.s.
