Just in from Hillary Clinton’s PR folk (who frankly are doing more harm than good with this one), some excerpts from Clinton’s upcoming appearance on the Tyra Banks Show, filmed yesterday and airing Friday.

TYRA: Senator Clinton got a lot of attention recently when she showed her vulnerable side in New Hampshire. That has been everywhere. Everybody is talking about it and when I was watching you I was like I have been there. How many women here have been there when it is just like, the pressure gets so much and you just break? I’m curious to know when you went home, what did you think about that? Did you feel weak?

SENATOR CLINTON: No, because what happened, was so touching to me. This woman said, “Well, how do you get up in the morning?” It just struck me, how do any of us get up in the morning? How do we keep it together, how do we do what we have to do, and there was such a moment where it wasn’t sort of me on one side of the table running for office and everybody else out there. It was us together. It really did make me emotional because that is when I think we are at our best as a country; when we really are honest and real … I’m running for President because it really means a lot to me that we give kids the same chance that we had.

Reality TV Show Appearance:
TYRA: … If you were a contestant on a reality show, would you rather be on Dancing with the Stars, American Idol, or America’s Next Top Model?

SENATOR CLINTON: In my dreams I would be on America’s Next Top Model but in reality I would have to choose my limited talents and of them dancing is better than singing. You do not want me to sing.

I wish there was an emoticon for vomiting on myself.

And while we’re on the subject, check out a perturbed Michiko Kakutani on the new anthology Thirty Ways of Looking at Hillary, and the contributors’ unwillingness or inability to look past Clinton’s symbolic value and examine her actual track record.
