Chatty Crowd Forces Clinton to Cut Speech Short

PHILADELPHIA -- Hillary Clinton was forced to cut her normal stump speech short when a chatty and meddlesome crowd kept her from grasping their attention. Clinton, who was addressing the Philadelphia County Democratic Party's Jefferson-Jackson Dinner, spoke for just over five minutes, despite having the press arrive almost two hours beforehand.

The crowd never settled down during her remarks. A spokesman for Clinton denied that she cut the speech short, and told reporters that Clinton was advised by her Pennsylvania team to deliver “a short speech" given the set up of the event.

In previous party dinners, most recently in Butte, Mt., Clinton spoke for almost an hour to a crowd that seemed to be paying attention. The aide said this was a “different type” of J-J Dinner, primarily because people were not seated at tables, and were “milling around” the banquet hall.

[bigtree]

11. rude people

are everywhee

[earthlover]

13. What could be ruder than being a liar? Hillary is more than rude. She got what she deserved....

Ignored!

I really expected more from Hillary during her presidential campaign. Beings as how it has been her fantasy for decades. But her speeches have been so uninspiring. Really, it reminds me of candidates for local or county offices. But somehow hyped as being presidential. No beef there.

[bigtree]

14. like I said . . .

[NJmaverick]

15. I don't think it was rude

I think it was their way of sending her a strong message. Plus they probably didn't feel like hearing her bash another Democrat. After all this was a meeting of Democrats.

[AllentownJake]

16. It would be one thing

If the rude people were at a rally....this was a dinner for the democratic elected officials and ward leaders. She's toast in the city of brotherly love. She may have Nutter but we have all the ward leaders.

[NJmaverick]

20. I think they were making their displeasure known

over how she has been acting. Hopefully that message got past her enormous ego.

[TheDonkey]

17. LOL

:rofl:

[dancingme]

21. she'll make the rest of the speech at 3AM

[ORDem]

27. But who's gonna call to listen to it? n/t

:eyes:

[PoliticalAmazon]

22. First the mayors, then the peeps...man, it must be GREAT to be Hillary in PA. n/t

[goclark]

25. But I thought that she is ahead in PA ?

Why weren't they listening to her?

[NJmaverick]

29. They are bitter

bitter over her attacks on Democrats, Liberals and Obama

[C_U_L8R]

26. The disinterest is very well deserved

Hillary really does have nothing to say for herself

[BlooInBloo]

28. Well, she can take solace in the 100... I mean 19 mayors that support her.

[noel711]

32. Is this the same dinner where Obama came on an hour later

and spoke for over an hour?
