Hillary: I've Gotten Used to Being Booed

Since launching her bid to become New York's senator, Hillary Clinton says she's been booed by crowds so many times that she's now gotten used to it.

Asked about an incident where she was booed off the stage at Paul McCartney's Oct. 20 concert to honor firefighters and police killed in the Twin Tower attacks, Mrs. Clinton told the New York Times Sunday Magazine, "I've gotten used to being in situations in political life, either vicariously or on my own, where that just happens sometimes."

Clinton described the humiliating heckling episode as "part of the healing process" in the wake of the World Trade Center attack.

"(The firefighters and cops) can blow off steam any way they want to," she added. "They've earned it."

The former first lady has also been publicly booed at New York City's St. Patrick's and Israeli Day parades as well as at her own New Year's Eve Millenium celebration on Washington's Mall.

Clinton campaign biographer Beth Harpaz, author of the book, "The Girls on the Van," recently told Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly that Sen. Clinton hasn't attended any funerals for constituents killed in the 9/11 attacks because she's afraid she'll be booed.

And while she wasn't heckled or jeered during her first visit to Ground Zero on Sept. 14, one on-the-scene source told NewsMax.com that firemen and cops refused to shake her hand.

The Times profile also revealed that Mrs. Clinton's obnoxious eye-rolling during President Bush's address to Congress just days after the 9/11 attacks was more typical than previously known.

"Her aides insisted it had nothing to do with the president," reported Timesman Frank Bruni.

"But when I later saw her at a Senate budget committee hearing, she silently and reflexively shook her head and rolled her eyes almost every time one of the economists who were testifying mentioned Bush's tax cut."

Nope. But I think she might have seen me as Nurse Ratchet on the sidewalk the Saturday they held that MTV concert on the South Lawn. Pretty sure she saw the devil in Red Hook, NY because she bitched about it on Leno.

Translation: "I've Gotten Used to Being Booed, but I haven't figured out why yet."

Mrs. Bill Clinton was told by Billie that "He gave at the office, so he doesn't have to give at home!"

It must make Hillie feel good to know that a bimbo was sent in to pinch hit for her (repeatedly).

Get a load of this whopper. Nobody gets booed at a funeral.

But Hillary might be the first! Shoot, it wouldn't surprise me if even the corpse sat up and booed her! LOL

where "booing" just happens sometimes
Just a note Hitlery - it doesn't just "happen." Most people are able to go out in public without being booed.

Ya gotta hand it to her. Taking Chutzpah to new heights! Wasn't her they were heckling. No sir. They were heckling because it was part of the 'healing process' by which, presumably, they were being healed ... by heckling her.

You and I thought the same thing! Funny isn't it? Usually with Hillary! everything is "about her." When it is negative, then it is all about someone else, never her fault!
Classic case of narcissism in it's most evil form.

My guess is she'll NEVER get used to (although she had better) being a lousy excuse for not only a human being, but also a lousy excuse for a polititian with actual good positive ideas to better humanity, or for that matter, America.

If she's a positive icon to anybody (mostly liberals), then they should trust me to perform brain surgery on them!
