VIDEO: Hillary snaps on student
--------------------
KINSHASA, Congo -- U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's temper flared on Monday when a Congolese university student asked her for her husband's thinking on an international financial matter.
A week after former President Bill Clinton traveled to North Korea to secure the release of two detained American journalists and stole the limelight from the start of his wife's first trip to Africa, Clinton was clearly displeased by the question at town hall forum in Kinshasa.
You want me to tell you what my husband thinks?" she replied incredulously when the male student asked her what "Mr. Clinton" thought of World Bank concerns about a multi-billion-dollar Chinese loan offer to the Congo.
"My husband is not secretary of state, I am," an obviously annoyed Clinton said sharply. "If you want my opinion, I will tell you my opinion. I am not going to be channeling my husband."
The question was left unanswered as the moderator of the event quickly moved on.
"My husband is not secretary of state, I am," an obviously annoyed Clinton said sharply. "If you want my opinion, I will tell you my opinion. I am not going to be channeling my husband."
Hillery Clinton didn't really mean that. What she was really meant was, "I don't a damned thing about what you are asking! I'm stumped. Bill doesn't have any idea about it either."
Even if she didn't like the question, which was tortured and probably a language issue, she needed to maintain decorum as SOS. Imagine if Condi Rice lost it like this, the Left would go ballistic.
Who benefits the most from this? Obama...he's isolated her, marginalized her and insulted her by letting her husband do her job, now she is giving him a public reason to lose confidence in her. She can't say she wasn't warned.
I want them all to start fighting each other.
LOL!
She looks rough, and sounds worse.
she made a bad choice.

Yeah, sure, Hillary. You’re Secretary of State. But you’re a figurehead. A nothing.

It turns out the reporter was referring to POTUS 0bama not Slick Willy.
But her jealousy is showing.
To quote Larry The Cable Guy: “I don’t care who you are, that’s funny”! The Zero Administration continues to unravel.
Thanks for the ping, that was funny@ :)
could her meno, still be pausing at this late date???
‘boy its hot in here’.
She has to resent Bill’s success in getting the reporters out
of North Korea. She is still in his shadow.
Hillary at the Auction:
"How much am I bid for this used Japanese Pleasure Me Gadget I picked up in Tokyo? Bidding must be in increments of five dollars."
Can you ‘shop her in front of a trailer with a cigarette in one hand???
“You’re right Mrs. CLinton. I apologise. As Sec. of State, how would you describe your husband’s success in his visit to North Korea to win the freedom of 2 prisoners there?”
quite entertaining but I will have to defend Hillary on this one. As I understand the Congo (correct me if I’m wrong) they are not big on letting women speak (like the muzzies) and in that context I don’t mind her going off on them

I view it as an amusing side show, like when she gave the Russians a “reset” button that actually said “overcharge.” At least Hillary’s buffoonery so far hasn’t had the consequences that Zero’s ineptitude has.
With or without the boob belt?
