why is it a cackle? why is it a cell phone ring?

[themaguffin]

because they are and they happen, both for the same calculated purpose.

Hillary was correct to give such a reponse to Chris Wallace, but not Gravel.

1. I have no idea what you are referring to.

Is there some chat room discussion that some of you are in on and the rest of us aren't? Some clique with code words?

How about taking the time for a tiny bit of context?

2. He's obsessed with Hillary's laugh.

Discussing it is all the rage on the news punditry shows. As long as we're discussing the important stuff, right? :eyes:

3. I laughed at Gravel too ... not what he said, but how presented himself

Honestly, it was over the top and a great performance.

4. yeah the important stuff

I agree "Hillary was correct to give such a response to Chris Wallace." Gravel maybe. Gulianni needs distraction from 9-11 and difficult questions. come to think of it, Hillary uses that Laugh to avoid straight answers.

5. OCD can be treated

6. First the 'Scream' and now the 'Cackle'.

First the 'Scream' and now the 'Cackle'. Puerile infantism at its best.

7. I look at it this way,...

Clinton's laugh was a good thing, who can argue w/someone who has a hearty laugh, for that matter, why bother? Looking at it, I saw the laugh as genuine.


As for phony laughs...The most obvious example is Limbaugh w/his forced "guffaws" whenever he is in trouble. As soon a she gets into something that was/is not orchestrated, he has an idiotic, "HA-HA-HAAA" thing he goes to, then cuts to a commercial. It is painfully obvious, and yet he continues. He can't get anything out w/going to that defensive "guffaw".


Now it is different for Guiliani. If his wife wasn't watching him, (or even with him at the NRA meet-up, I guess he doesn't inform her he's got a "speech" to give), he's got more troubles than he thinks. Beside the fact that having a cell phone on at a time like that is absurdly rude, and bordering on exceptionally stupid, to actually answer it...well all I can see is his wife, (or someone else), saw he was bombing and called him to get him off the hook. Now he's scrambling to explain it all away...how do you explain away stupid?
