Politics Video Proof of Hillary Clinton Being Funny!

Posted by Wm. Steven Humphrey on Tue, Jul 24 at 3:39 PM

From the so-called “YouTube” Presidential Debate on Monday night, candidate Hillary Clinton stuns the crowd by actually being kind of funny…

Comments

Hillary gets bonus points from me on this one, though not as many as if she'd referred to the questionable legitimacy of Bush's Supreme Court installation back in 2000.

Probably wouldn't have gotten as big a laugh if she'd used the words "coup d'etat" or Dan Rather's "some presidents are elected and some are selected" though.

I smell personality coaching! "Okay Hill, yer the front-runner and practically guaranteed to win if you can just show some personality we'll have a ride to rival Bill's 1996 defeat of Bob 'I'm Bob Dole' Dole."

funny if it didn't appear so staged. it looks to me like she knew that one was coming and probably had her handlers working all night market testing various responses to it. her little nod at the start is telegraphing to anderson, "ok now, just like we practiced it."

Just FYI... that clip was cut together on Best Week Ever. Her answer was actually to the question "Does it worry you that if Hillary is elected for two terms that the american presidency will have been held by two families for 28 years?"
