Hillary Booed at McCartney's Twin Towers Relief Concert

New York Senator Hillary Clinton was roundly booed at former Beatle Paul McCartney's Twin Towers relief concert, held at Manhattan's Madison Square Garden Saturday night.

The embarrassing moment came as Sen. Clinton introduced a short video clip from stand-up comic Jerry Seinfeld.

Though the former first lady has tried to capitalize on the Twin Towers tragedy, thrusting herself before one TV camera after another in an effort to connect with average New Yorkers and advance her 2004 presidential ambitions, McCartney's concert showed the effort still needed more work.

One eyewitness to the scene reported to the website FreeRepublic.com that Clinton "was booed so loudly, she had to yell into the mike to be heard."

Another estimated that "90 percent" of the crowd jeered the former first lady.

Her husband, the former president, who was also present, got a much warmer reception.

Richard Gere was booed too. He wants us all to love Osama to death. I'd rather we just blew him to bits and got it over with.

Was he only booed by "50 percent" of the crowd?

Too bad Clintigulia's welcome wasn't as warm.

If Hilary even won the Democratic Party's nomination in '04, that would be the proverbial "last straw" causing me to finalize my plans to defect to Switzerland....

Which one, bin Laden or Gere? (or both maybe?)>/sarcasm<

[The Wizard]

watching hill billy try to be a part of the night shows how out of touch with reality he is....GO AWAY

These are the same people who elected her. What did they THINK she was going to do? I would suggest that the time to show their opposition would have been BEFORE she plopped her ample backside in their Senate seat.

You can't boo the horse back into the barn.

"I'd rather we just blew him to bits and got it over with"

Would that be Osama or Richard Gere? [snicker]

[TLBSHOW]

What about a recall? Is there such a thing? LOL at the Witch

[ShandaLear]

How bout we send Gere with Hill and Jesse to negotiate a peace settlement with the Taliban and take care of the whole thing once and for all.

[O6ret]

Sorry I missed it. And I bet I won't get a chance to see it on CNN or the gang of three (ABC, NBC & CBS). Let's see if Fox can get it out there for the rest of us to appreciate....

[ShandaLear]

Does anyone know if she was wearing her famous black suit?

I believe this has already been posted.Here is the first posting of this article.

I've been looking for a video clip with audio on the web. Anyone seen one yet?

[spectre]

Looks like Mat Drudge is asleep on this one?! Or will he even mention it on his show tonight? BOOOOOOOO.....

Richard Gere was booed too. He wants us all to love Osama to death.

At least Gere is just loopy, and honestly believes what he says. Hitlery just sees 6000 dead as a chance to further herself.

He would rather mention luciane goldberg at his site then get the big story that happened between 7 and 1 last night.

Hello? Did she get 100%?

Having grown up in NYC and having known lots of cops and firemen be assured few of her voters were in that crowd last night.

[IronJack]

Did she get 100%?

Hello? Did she HAVE to? She got enough to get elected.
