I just saw the clip of Clinton tearing up. I don't support her, but I have to say, in all honesty

[hiaasenrocks]

that when her campaign fails, it will no longer be necessary for her to be in the Senate (as that was just a stepping stone to the presidential campaign) so she might find work in Hollywood. Now I know she'll never be an A-list actress, but she might be good for the B- or C-list type character actor roles, where one emotional scene is needed. She's good at that.

[trumad]

1. And you will have a great part as an asshole.

68. Tenth!

[hiaasenrocks]

6. LOL. Lighten up.

Have a drink. Eat extra desert tonight. Enjoy.

This race has turned out to be more entertaining than most of us thought it would be.

[Marrah_G]

13. I am not surprised you find it amusing.

Sort of the same way we giggle when reading FR, right?

[hiaasenrocks]

16. You can give FR all the clicks you want.

I give my money and traffic to DU.

[CatWoman]

50. hiaasen

you do not rock.

[hiaasenrocks]

55. Cat

You are no woman. :)

[CatWoman]

60. oh no!! I've been exposed

[riderinthestorm]

62. LOL!!! Ah my eyes!!!

:spank:

[hiaasenrocks]

63. LOL!

See, I'm glad someone has a sense of humor about all of this.

Some people in this thread are WAY too serious, about themselves and everything else.

I had a feeling you were more reasonable than that. Although I am curious as to why you were able to find that picture so quickly and with such ease. PLEASE DO NOT EXPLAIN. Thanks.

[CatWoman]

65. rofl

that'll learn ya!!

[Dorian Gray]

2. She can take over Fred Thompson's role

in Law and Order. :rofl:

[hiaasenrocks]

12. Well, at least Clinton can stay awake more than an hour at a time.

Fred is barely breathing, it appears.

[Dorian Gray]

19. That's very true! :)

And she's be more interesting to watch on L&O.

[LibraLiz1973]

41. Is THAT why his wife carries around a mirror at all times?

To check if he is breathing?

[mikelgb]

3. can't you post this in a reply to one of the other hundred threads on crying

fer fucks sake

[hiaasenrocks]

20. Will do.

[Saturday]

5. I'm sorry you have never felt emotion. n/t

[hiaasenrocks]

15. I express it when it's real. You fell for her charade?

So be it.

:hi:

[skater314159]

58. I feel emotions, but I am not ruled by them.

It plays into the hands of all the bigots who say "Women are too emotional to X" (Insert whatever you want into X).

I think she should feel her emotions and express them, but not in front of the cameras and the public eye... some positions of authority require that sort of "stregnth" - woman or not.

But that's just my honest opinion.

[monmouth]

8. And to think you actually took time to post such disgusting drivel...eom

[hiaasenrocks]

24. I'm a fast "typer" (to use a * word)

[Marrah_G]

9. More nasty comments-

Sometimes I wonder what web site I am on. Just another jerk to add to the list.

[hiaasenrocks]

28. "Nasty comments" accusation followed by name-calling. Typical.

:hi:

[MzNov]

11. Tasteless. These candidates are exhausted. and I'm sure they all want to cry.

[hiaasenrocks]

26. You're sure about that. I see.

What's tasteless is Clinton's acting.

[MzNov]

27. The woman wants to be Pres. really badly. She's losing. She not acting!

and how would you know?


***EDWARDS '08 *****
:bounce:

[hiaasenrocks]

31. I guess I could say that I know the same way that you know they all want to cry.

Which is to say, not much.

But I can go by Clinton's record of being strongly for whatever she needs to be strongly for depending upon which crowd she's talking to.

I bet she DOES want to be President really badly, as you say. Too bad she's willing to do/say anything to get there.

[DemGa]

17. She's fakin' I tell ya

Fake, fake, fake. I heerd it on the am radio too! Just a big ol' manipulation's what it is!

[hiaasenrocks]

21. You should get satellite radio.

[DemGa]

33. That would solve half the problem

Fortunately, on the whole, my tastes are more discerning.

[PassingFair]

18. SOB! Now that its publicly personal to John Edwards....

It's double DOG personal to me!

[BlackVelvet04]

23. I'm really sick of the hatefullness

being directed at the Democratic candidates by supposed Democrats. WTF is up with that?

[hiaasenrocks]

25. Some of them deserve it.

I reserve my criticism for the DLCers (Republican lite) and especially those who are so obviously playing the voters.

My being a Democrat doesn't mean I support EVERY one of them and EVERYTHING that ALL of them do. Sorry, but we have enough people who are willing to be sheep and keep the machine rolling. Ideology trumps party loyalty.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

29. Agreed.

Anybody who supported the war deserves comeuppance.

[Hoof Hearted]

37. Well that would be ALL OF THEM except for Kuch, and we all know how far he's going.

so :shrug: we hate almost all of our candidates now? That's productive, how exactly?

[BlackVelvet04]

30. I don't support everything all of them do either...

but some human decency would be nice. You don't have to be a sheep to be decent.

[hiaasenrocks]

32. Sorry.

But when I see a phony trying to play me, I'm giving it right back in criticism.

[BeatleBoot]

36. Actually I thought she was crying because

She had foreseen the Obama supporters crying like babies on February 5th when they lose.

[hiaasenrocks]

44. Why would that make her cry?

Her overwhelming sincere compassion?

:rofl:

[BeatleBoot]

47. No, just her sincere compassion.

Overwhelming? No.

Compassion. Yes.

I mean, I don't want a bubbling sissy in the White House.

I'd take a tough chick over an inexperienced opportunist any day.

[hiaasenrocks]

56. Uh oh. "Chick"? ALERT! ALERT!

[OzarkDem]

34. She's done a pretty good job in the Senate

and maybe she'll learn a lesson about losing touch with voters while living inside the bubble of DC.

[Lex]

35. Okay, that's just beneath you. Don't you think so?

Do you call yourself a Democrat? Really?

[hiaasenrocks]

42. Actually, I'm registered unaffiliated.

Though I do vote Democratic, mainly because of economic and national security reasons.

Why do I feel like I'm sitting in front of Joe McCarthy's committee?

I'm sure you have all kinds of questions and accusations about my motives. Fire away. :)

[Township75]

43. Well, you would be crying too...

if your campaign based on inevitability was inevitably getting flushed down the sh!tter with whatever Obama had for breakfast.

[hiaasenrocks]

45. Ouch. LOL

[midlife_mo_Jo]

46. She's not my candidate, but I certainly didn't see that

She looks VERY tired, imo. People tend to get emotional when they're tired.

[hiaasenrocks]

59. People also tend to get emotional when they

are trailing in the polls and their campaign of inevitability (based SOMETIMES on the fact that she should be the first woman president and other times that her gender shouldn't matter, depending on which day it is and who her audience is) is threatened.

[Andromeda]

48. I'll bet your mother cried when she had you.

It probably discouraged her from having any more.

[hiaasenrocks]

52. I'm the oldest of three.

To help you out: that means my mom had two (2) children after me.

Hillary stopped with one, though. What do you make of that?

[lateo]

49. It was really quite the performance.

Maybe she can channel that during the debate sometime. So instead of coming off like a shrill harpy she will seem like a real softy.

[hiaasenrocks]

54. I was moved by it.

I moved to the kitchen, then moved back to the living room, and thankfully the clip was over.

[SlowDownFast]

51. Hiwawy fwall down! n/t

[skater314159]

57. She should go work at Lifetime. n/t

[Generator]

61. You sexist slime!

Actually I find all the outrage here downright entertaining. For instance, there are those here that find my choice, Edwards, fake or insincere. I find him the opposite of that. But that's their opinion. That's what they feel. Telling them they are man-haters doesn't make them change it. I don't understand why they feel that way and yet I know that aren't evil bastions of humanity, anymore than someone not liking Obama is a racist.

I can understand why people find Hillary insincere.

BUT heavens to betsey-I actually think she is sincere in her own way. I think she wants to help-but I think she's sold out herself for YEARS and she wouldn't be able to help America the way she probably believes she can. In other words, she's lying to herself. In other words, two things can be true at once.

In other words, every word she said was true and she's still calculating. I don't hold the calculating against her at all. But I hold many other things she's actually done (or not done-say supporting Kerry more firmly for instance, or risking something to fight Bush instead of going with always the easy road)in the last many years against her.

Us sexist slimeball Hillary haters actually have many reasons to not want her president. Pulling out some tears or some anger are the least of it.

[hiaasenrocks]

64. I've been slimed!

Good post, but I have no idea why she's so insincere.
