Hillary: I've Gotten Used to Being Booed

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, D.C.'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."

Yes, I think she's afraid of being booed, for all imaginable reasons.
Don't blame me posting this article under crime/corruption rubric: any time I hear or see her/his name mentioned I have a vision of crime, corruption, mirder. etc. symbol.

That woman has no shame, absolutly NO SHAME. Imagine, being so stupid as to think you're getting booed to let off stress (her comment about the firemen/police at the McCartney concert). I am so worried that this beast may actually run for President and there a people Stupid enough to vote her in. That is just plain scary!

She's got 5 years left on a 6 year term. Did you see the NY Post article yesterday - and that paper is usually very critical of her - quoting Republican senators saying how well she's done in her first year? Interesting signal that the Post is making their peace with having her as Senator for as long as she wants.

This is just another Hillary lie. Anyone that "gets used to it" has a fairly low self image.
And that is the one thing the vile beast does not suffer from.

Humph. What a gracious thing to say. I doubt her sincerety of course. She is a Clinton, after all, a huxter of the first order. But even so. If hypocrisy is the tribute that vice pays to virtue and all that, then this was a nice tribute.

Now if she would avoid running over police officers.

Of course she's used to it...it makes her a victim, and that's when her poll numbers rise.

Well of course she is used to booing and abuse. She played the faithful doormat to her sleazy husband for more than 20 years. I mean, what kind of self-hater woud stay with a husband like that? Serious emotional and psychological problems here.

Follow up question: "But why did they choose to boo you in particular, Mrs. Clinton?"

So ... what?

In order to be insulting, we'll have to fart in her general direction.

It's not she that is stupid, it's her constituents. How about this:

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

They want us to believe she sat there rolling her eyes and making faces during the speech, but it didn't have anything to do with the speech. How stupid do you have to be to beleive that?

Hillary Clinton admits New York made a mistake electing her. "I'm used to the booing," she claims.

Senator Boo and Hiss.

Hillary is so unpopular with the people of New York now that she claims she can get used to all the boooing.

New Yorkers shouldn't have to get used to booing at Hillary Clinton at every public appearance, she should resign.

If Hillary Clinton can't figure out the difference between booing and applause, she should resign.

Like Yasser, she has this message in English to say "peace, peace" to the sheeple. In Lib-speak with her girls on the bus, the vicious political battle planning goes on.
