Hillary: I've Gotten Used to Being Booed
newsmax ^ | Monday Dec. 17

Posted on 12/16/2001 8:20:36 PM PST by classygreeneyedblonde

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."

Wow. All these years I've been healing and didn't even know it.

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

I don't know... Can't you imagine some distraught widow spotting her there and going ballistic?

But the greetings she recieved from NYFD and NYPD were seen live and unedited on national TV. No way for her flying monkeys in the media to hide it........He he he!

I wonder if she ever stopped and thought why people boooooooo her

That's exactly what I thought when I (held an air sickness bag under my chin and) read the article. Of course, just like her demon-infested husband, the arrogant b!tch couldn't possibly consider that anybody could possibly have legitimate reasons to disagree with her.

The only healing process I can see is the US government, the CIA, and the military trying to shake off the scabs left from the wounds of political correctness, contribution shakedowns, technology thefts, and scandle that bill clinton and her highness gave us during the reign of terror.

Besides...the families have already suffered enough.

I wonder if it's possible to boo her from the Senate gallery or do they toss you as soon as you peep a sound? I visited the gallery once a number of years ago. At the time Byrd was on some long oration using biblical quotes. The place was less than half full. I didn't stay long.

"I've gotten used to being in situations in political life, either vicariously or on my own, where that just happens sometimes."

I'm still pondering this statement. She says she vicariously was in political situations where there was booing. Was it directed at her or someone else, then? Was she even there in person, or merely watching it on TV, and experiencing it vicariously in that fashion? As for the eye-rolling over the President's speech, you'd think she would have learned something from AlBore's behavior during the debates. He didn't exactly get good reviews for his sighing, head shaking and eye rolling. Perhaps she experienced that vicariously, too.

Thanks for the ping! I had a great time yelling in Hillary’s face at the Israeli Day parade! Check out this oldie thread: One Mile Hillary! Freep!

Though I'd mutter under my breath if I saw her at a funeral, even I would wait till she got outside before I booed her.

"Passive-aggressive foreign policy." ROFLMAO!!!

I can hear it now:

"Well. You don't want to sign the treaty. That's just fine. Is something wrong with me? No, nothing. What could be wrong? I'm fine. Fine. I'll just fly 7,000 miles back to Washington with no treaty. Why should that be a problem...?"

LOL! What a witch!

What gets me is how it is that when one spouse is that way, they seem to marry the one person who is immune to their behavior. Maybe Hillary took Clinton's lack of objection as a sign of approval. Actually, he'd probably just tuned her out, because he was more interested in something -- or someone -- else.
