An Iowa college student pulled back the curtain on Hillary Clinton's stage-managed campaign stops..... Muriel Gallo-Chasanoff said a Clinton staffer produced a binder with about eight questions. "The top one was planned specifically for a college student," she said. "It noted 'college student' in brackets and then the question." Clinton's staffer approached her..... Gallo-Chasanoff said she proposed a question about comparing Clinton's energy plan.... "I don't think that's a good idea," the staffer told her, "because I don't know how familiar she is with their plans." Gallo-Chasanoff says the Clinton camp tried to get her to keep quiet.......a staffer called and told her "not to talk about" the story to more media.

Arkancide—I mean mob hit

Did you hear how she phrased her question?

"As a young person...." What normal college student phrased a question in that manner?"

[Roccus]

A Klinton Q&A session was scripted?????

Who knew??? (/s)

[Joe Boucher]

I can’t believe this about the “smartest woman in the world”.

[Man50D]

Anyone who believes Hitlery didn’t know to pick the college student should take cattle futures tips from her.

Wasn’t there a similar staging back in 2000 or 2004? I remember something about a Democrat ‘debate’ where a college student was prompted to ask the panel of candidates ‘boxers or briefs?’ or some similar inane drivel.

Shades of Ponytail Boy from the first Bush/Clinton debate many years ago. I wonder what ever happened to that lisping flake?

[Right Angler]

Next you will be telling me that water is wet.

[Roccus]

A little further back than that. It was during an MTV Q&A of Slick in the 90s.

Muriel Gallo-Chasanoff, 19, said a Clinton staffer waved her off the question she first wanted to ask - then produced a binder with a series of questions she could ask.

The binder, she said, had about eight questions.

"The top one was planned specifically for a college student," she said. "It said 'college student' in brackets and then the question."

The campaign has admitted planting the question but denied Clinton knew about it - and yesterday wouldn't answer whether they had a binder with prepared questions.

[Roccus]

All depends on what “is” is.

[mware]

Ya know it would be interesting to see how other past Q&A session, questions were phrased. Bet there any number that are phrased awkwardly like that.

[DancesWithBolsheviks]

You’re right - my brain just slipped a decade.

[Skip Ripley]

Didn’t she get the questions for the “NY quiz” on David Letterman’s show back in 2000 ahead of time?

[Raycpa]

Here is some advice for the student

[The Pack Knight]

That was originally 1992, on an MTV interview of Bill Clinton. But yeah, I do remember someone asking that in 2000 or 2004.

[Liz]

"I'm shocked, I tell ya---shocked."

[The Pack Knight]

And, besides, ahem, purveyors of adult entertainment, who still calls them ‘co-eds’?

[Past Your Eyes]

Why doesn’t she just admit it? It’s not that big a deal but I guess they’d rather lie about it. What do you bet that some snotnosed junior staffer has already felt the wrath of Her Heinous over this. Probably the whole staff.
