Crying?

2:36 pm EST January 7th, 2008 | News | 10 Comments

Maybe I’m reading it wrong, but for someone who has been set up as the iron woman of politics and has run a campaign based on that theme, to cry on the campaign trail is kind of ridiculous. I know we have double standards, but the candidates are working within them – Clinton, Edwards, Obama and even on the right. But for Hillary Clinton to now be "choked up" after losing one caucus?

Come on.

    Yeeha! Bash that pussy woman!

    And vote for Barack Oblique!

    Because we like the sound of his voice when he says he’ll be a uniter, not a divider…

    Replace the fake cowboy with a fake preacher!

    (The more things change, the more they stay the same.)

    Honestly, if there is a story that should be ignored this campaign season, this is it (so I won’t be noting it on my blog).

    It means nothing, except, perhaps that she was tired, or she was reflecting on the ‘Skins loss to Seattle, which bumming.

    You are not being fair to Hillary, and I can’t believe that I said that.

    I’m not being fair? Come on. Like I said, Sen. Clinton has used this image of her toughness – I like that image, but now she’s vulnerable all of a sudden? And that coincides with a downturn in her political fortunes? Come on.

    Yeah, yeah. It’s just Hillary being “calculating” again, right OW? Please let the cons circulate their own talking points.

    Agree with with MG Saroff & Quaker, pretty much.

    OW, you have a right not to support Hillary. But to pretend that, at worst, “using” emotion to sway voters is beyond the pale of politics… well, oh my gosh, you’re sounding like a golldarn Republican.

    What’s worse is the MSM asked the other two what they thought about her emotional state. Neither one of them wanted to comment and said something else, and now Edwards is being blamed for being cold for not wanting to comment on this stupid thing.

    It’s OK she’s human, but she needs to buck up. She’s not doing any women any favors or herself, for that matter.

    Oh, stop being such a bunch of guys.

    “Emotion!She showed emotion! Aieee!! Look away!! Must! Not! See! Emotion!!”

    You know what? We’ve got a president right now who shows his emotions all the time: anger, arrogance, impatience, joviality (at the most inappropriate occasions), confusion, bitterness, and plenty of others.

    A watery eye is not a disqualifier.

    They posted the same thing over at RedState.

    We’re through the looking glass here, folks. OW is posting the same anti-Clinton stuff as RedState.

    Sorry, meant to say Edmund Muskie.

    This could be her Howard Dean moment, right here.
