So how does she defend herself without being defensive?

Some talking head on CNN just responded to a clip of Clinton saying that if everyone releases speech transcripts then she would as an example of being defensive. "If she does this it will be a long night."

She was smiling, seemed relaxed. Didn't rise to my definition of "defensive." But the CNN people just took it as gospel. What did they think she should do if she didn't plan to release the speeches??

I don't get it.
