1. "Now that's the silver tongued devil I married!"

It looks like she's working really late, poor Hillary. No wonder she says she's looking forward to retiring. She's been among the hardest working SOSes ever, lots of bridges to mend after 8 years of wrecking balls like Rice and Bolton.

The stock market seems to have liked the speech, too. It likely won't last, but it was up >230 the last time I checked.

4. Not up late

She's in Asia right now, so she's actually watching it at a reasonable hour (around lunchtime, I think).

[Warpy]

5. Then she's jet lagged

That's worse!

However, my other statements stand. She's really grown into that job and she's been one of the best we've ever had.

6. No argument with any of what you said

She actually got to Asia last week for the Pacific Island Summit, so she may be over the worst of the jetlag. But no argument: one of the great Secretaries of State.

18. we need a like button god damn it.

[Blue Belle]

19. I know!!

Damn Zuckerberg and his facebook cult... I need to be deprogramed.

17. She didn't get to see it live--she had an advanced copy of the "prepared remarks"

so this is her watching it on tape.

2. She looks so proud and touched. Love that picture.

It must have been tough not to have been there. SoS is such a hard job! I personally think it's more exhausting and difficult than being president.

3. When Hillary's name was brought up during his speech

regarding her position as secretary of state did you hear the crowd cheer. It was wonderful to hear. President Clinton's speech was so thorough in common language and I loooovvvvvedddd the Math lesson! LOL

Bill looks great too. They are a good-looking couple and I am so proud of both of them.

8. Very cool picture

A glass of scotch and a half a tuna sandwich while watching the President wow everyone... Good stuff

[Lucinda]

24. Looks like ice tea with lemon. Not scotch. n/t

[Ohio Joe]

25. heh

I was wondering if anyone would catch that

[LiberalAndProud]

10. I love this photo.

It's poignant and beautiful. Love Hillary to pieces.

11. "And he's mine!" You know she's bursting with pride. What a couple.

The history books will reflect them as one of the most powerful political couples of our age. I'm proud of them.

12. I'm hoping for a surprise appearance by her tonight

[brightertomorrow]

16. I wish she could be there

Yes sure would be wonderful if she could drop in tonight for a surprise appearance. Not sure it's possible but it sure would be wonderful...

[lastlib]

23. I had heard that ethics rules preclude her from attending political conventions.

Not sure what the deal is on that, will have to check it out further.....

14. Wow. Are you sure you're in the right place?

[MADem]

21. You're proud of that comment? Good grief.

First of all, it was a shitty and childish thing to say.

Second, it shows you didn't even take the essential elements of the story--you just did a cheap "snark and run."

She is watching him on DELAY. She was unable to watch it live because she had to WORK; that is a recording.

So gee, she doesn't know "exactly where he is and who is with"--so there goes your nasty little thesis all to hell. Yet despite that, she is smiling. You might try that sometime. A smile beats a cheap shot any day of the week.

I found your post offensive on a number of levels. Worthy of sites that aren't this one, perhaps--but unworthy of this one.


Details for anyone interested in facts and not crude speculations: http://www.theblaze.com/stories/how-did-hillary-watch-bills-speech-clinton-aide-gives-fascinating-account/

FROM AN AIDE TRAVELING WITH SECRETARY CLINTON: “President Clinton’s speech nominating President Obama started while Secretary Clinton was meeting with the Prime Minister of Timor Leste (the 109th country she’s been to as SecState). The speech ended sometime during the press conference, right around the time she was asked a question about it. From the press conference she met with the staff and families of Embassy Dili. When that ended, she walked over to the Chief of Mission Residence (aka the ambassador’s house, which is part of the embassy compound), where she was able to watch her husband‘s speech on the ambassador’s home computer. Didn’t notice the brand, but it was a 17? screen sitting on a wooden desk. For you technophiles that were curious as to how she was able to watch the speech, it was via SlingPlayer, which streamed a recording from a SlingBox connected to an aide’s home TiVo.
“So she was watching a feed from 9,930 miles away. The stream held up shockingly well, only a couple of hiccups along the way for a few seconds each time. Though when it happened nobody was sure it would resume, so there were a few moments of anxiety. … From the moment the introductory video came on, she was riveted – as were the members of the traveling party who watched with her. It’s safe to say that she loved every single minute of it. It’s possible she did not blink even once. When the speech ended, she was as surprised and excited as everyone in the arena and watching at home when President Obama joined President Clinton on stage. She had no idea it was coming, she cheered and practically jumped out of her chair.”
By the way, in case you didn’t know where Timor-Leste is either, it’s located between Australia and Indonesia...

22. Sorry, I didn't mean to cause so much offense.

I actually love Clinton. He was a great President and his impeachment was a travesty. My post was intended to be light-hearted humor, based on his rogueish reputation, but obviously fell flat. I will delete.

[MADem]

26. It's a persistent RW meme.

He's done his penance, he spent his exile in the doghouse, he begged forgiveness, he's learned to stay on the porch, and Madame Secretary has accepted his apologies, indicated her forgiveness, and gotten past that painful time. It's been YEARS since that shit went down--heck, I was still working in DC in that timeframe, and I am well and truly retired now.

The wingnuts continue to play like it was yesterday, and ongoing--like Coulter's comment that Clinton was screwing Sandra Fluke backstage on twitter. It's just a low-down shitty place to go.

I am glad you deleted.

15. I love this photo. nt

20. Nice!

I like both her's and POTUS' expressions watching their spouses take it to the GOP.
