SIOUX CITY, Iowa — Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton responded to allegations Sunday that her presidential campaign had planted questions during public appearances.

At a media event in Waterloo, Iowa, Clinton responded to a reporter's question about two separate incidents, one that occurred this week at a biodiesel plant in Newton, and the other in April on a farm outside Fort Madison, both in Iowa.

"Well it was news to me" Clinton said. "And neither I nor my campaign approve of that. And it will certainly not be tolerated."

The reporter went on to ask if she knew of other incidents beyond those reported.

Clinton responded saying, "You know everything I know."

On the up side, it’s safe to assume the reporter’s question was not planted.

I think the staffer who was clumsy enough to let this get out might get “planted” somewhere as well.

OK,I really despise Hillary, but does anybody really think other candidates aren’t doing the same? Standard politics.

People are coming around to the notion that Hillary! is a manipulative liar who is brittle and unable to handle tough situations without blowing up. IMHO, this notion is pretty dead-on accurate. What do you think?

This "Planted Questions" story feeds into this growing consensus, and is therefore news. It is newsworthy when people confirm what has long been suspected of them. Thus when OJ commits armed robbery, it is a huge story, or when President Bush lies (or is mistaken) about something minor, it gets blown out of proportion. Similarly, when the masks slips and Hillary! reveals her true manipulative, lying and abusive nature, it gets major play.

The Clintonistas have a {tired} formula:

1. That’s old news.
2. Actions of an over zealous staffer.
3. The boss knew nothing.
4. IF it were a pattern that would be really bad, but there’s no pattern so it’s actually good!
5. Republicans really DO what we DIDN’T DO.
6. Strict safeguard measures have now been implemented.
7. Let’s move on.

Please add to or edit my list.

Isn’t that Hillary’s new campaign poster in Iowa?
“Hillary, her backside is as wide as an 18 row planter”

This is the Clintonian English that says nothing and Ho She Marx could never be accused of lying!

Therefore, if she knows of more incidents and covers up, that's one strike. If she doesn't know of more incidents that really happened, then she's not on top of things.

Her answer is vague enough to cover both ends and imply anything she wants to say later!

Other than the far-left kooks, who the hell would vote for this forked-tongue ignoramus? Anybody with just a brain trace wouldn't.

The Democrats are looking for more “plants,” trying to catch Republicans in “Macaca Moments.”

Hillary Clinton is desperate to win.

Desperate people do desperate things.

How could the Witch not know that her operatives were planting questions, since the only way a planted question could work would be if she knew who the questioner was and what the question would be???

Hey now, let's not think this through.

Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase...

And btw - this photo has nothing to do with planting questions for her heinous - but I just had to share it with my Freeper friends.

Similar to when she was running for the senate and on Letterman’s show she `parroted-back’ the answers to a `quiz’ on New York state (Q&A that she was allowed to review in the green room) . . .
She was lying then, denying having been rehearsed, and she’s lying now.

she didn’t even need to know exactly who the questioner would be...
her staff could have said “We have a college student that’s going to ask you about global warming” .

Someone needs to make a cartoon of this. If it could be pulled off it would be hillary-ous.

I picture her reading from a map given to her by her campaign staff with students names that she's supposed to call on.
