I love the way Hillary dealt with Chris Wallace - she just laughs in his face

[CatWoman]

[applegrove]

1. She's been doing a laugh whenever she gets a tough questions these past

few weeks.

[rusty quoin]

4. Do you think it's working?

It seems inapproprite to me at times.
Maybe on some happy drugs.

[sufrommich]

26. That's just low. nt

[applegrove]

40. Usually her laugh is right on. I'm sure she got more than that in her bag of tricks. Any candidate

would have to have a whole slew of reactions.

[depakid]

49. Man, Chris Wallace is one smarmy person

I don't know how people can stand to watch him, much less take him seriously.

[ElizabethDC]

6. Did you even watch the clip?

She wasn't laughing at any tough questions.

[rusty quoin]

7. I don't mean just this clip.

[ElizabethDC]

8. Well, then would you like to name some specifics? n/t

[rusty quoin]

12. Television appearances. I don't recall which shows.

Sometimes in debates.

[pnwmom]

23. I saw her laughing on Letterman. And it was very appropriate.

I think she can laugh because she's relaxed and confident. She's hitting her stride.

[rusty quoin]

34. I probably wrong. What I saw I was unuse to. I'm wrong

[pnwmom]

50. We aren't used to a President who could laugh at himself, that's for sure.

But I'm tired of a President who think's he's God on earth.

[superkia]

55. You may be talking about the online debate, the Bill Maher portion.

http://debates.news.yahoo.com/

Bill Maher should have added in his question that the unelectable Dennis Kucinich was the only person that read through it and saw that the war was about oil . He voted against it, and the rest pushed the Saddam propaganda like Bush and Cheney instead of speaking out about the real problem, Bin Laden. There was allot of money to be made with the war, makes you wonder what Kucinich saw that the others either didn't or chose not to?

[leeroysphitz]

14. It's difficult to tell just what she was laughing at.

In fact she almost sounded a bit deranged. :yoiks:

[in_cog_ni_to]

33. First the idiot had the NERVE to ask her why she and her husband have such a HYPER-PARTISAN VIEW OF

POLITICS???*&^%$# From the party that wrote the book on hyper-partisanship, trashing their opponents and dirty politics? :rofl::rofl: She should have laughed in his face! What a STUPID FREAKIN' QUESTION!

Then the idiot told her give give his regards to Bill. Bill is the one who gave Chris Wallace a piece of his mind a while back...remember? THAT is why she laughed in his face again! and rightly so!

[OzarkDem]

59. No other way to respond but with laughter

it was a stupid, ridiculous question :dunce:

[EV_Ares]

35. Hell no, she was laughing at the stupid Chris Wallace. What was that

dumb question he asked her about her & Bill's partisan politics. Who wouldn't laugh at the hypocrisy of that question coming from him. And then some of the others. I have to admit as she is not my favority candidate, I liked the way she handled that interview with dumbass.

[Paladin]

56. Agree With You, Absolutely

Hillary Clinton's sustained burst of laughter was the only proper response to that idiotic, hypocritical opening question from Wallace. He's a third-rate right wing hack, and that kind of derision is all he deserves.....

[applegrove]

65. I agree. But she seems to be laughing more often. Which is a smart way

to campaign cause it lightens the load at the same time as gives her space to come up with a distinct answer to the "tough" question. She should laugh.

[jillan]

22. Didn't she do that at the AARP debate when she was questioned

by 3 other Dems on stage going after her for her poor presentation of Universal Healthcare in the 90's?

Rather than answer Judi Woodruff's question, she did that laugh.

[pnwmom]

25. She's able to laugh at herself, and learn from her mistakes.

What wonderful qualities to have in a President.

Especially after the last eight years of the most narcissistic President in history.

[jillan]

32. The ability to laugh at oneself is an admirable quality.

Using a forced laugh as a way to get out of answering tough questions is another.

[pnwmom]

51. Where's your evidence that it was a "forced laugh"? She had every

reason to laugh at Wallace, and I think she did it very effectively.

[applegrove]

64. Earlier in the week the laugh was a little more forced. I like it.

[pnwmom]

29. She hasn't been "doing a laugh." She has a sense of humor, and she

often turns it against herself -- unlike our sneering Decider.

[applegrove]

39. I agree it shows her to be human and resilient. And then she gets tough

when she answers the question.

[applegrove]

41. I agree she turns it on herself some times. Exactly unlike the narcissistic

fool in the WH.

[Clintonista2]

61. Wow watch the video before you make an ignorant comment please

[applegrove]

62. I think she did great with Chris Wallace. And I'm glad to see her laughing.

It deserved a laugh. Nothing we need more than some levity regarding smears. They are grave things but we need a little levity to keep from becoming grey ourselves. She is doing a great job and I support her.

[classof56]

2. Good for Hillary!

I'm just sayin'--good for her!

Tired Old Cynic

[ruggerson]

3. I've never seen anyone totally demolish a rightwinger like that

she was amazing. Very first question from him, after showing clips of Bill getting angry in the interview HE did with Wallace, was to ask her (paraphrasing), "why are you and your husband so partisan and so combatitive with the rightwing?"

She burst out laughing for about ten seconds, genuine, side splitting laugher and then proceeded to talk about something substantial. As if to say, Chris, your question is so completely absurd, and so completely partisan in and of itself, that I will just ignore you and talk about things voters want to hear.

Wallace had no idea what to say in response. She completely neutered him.

[pnwmom]

21. I agree. She demolished him. And she has a beautiful smile. n/t

[ElizabethDC]

5. It was great, wasn't it?

The Fox News hosts need to be laughed at more often.

[emilyg]

19. Absolutely. I love that Lady.

[Froward69]

30. I agree

Faux news is an embarrassment to serious news outlets. :boring:

[opihimoimoi]

9. Love that LAUGH.....put Chris in his place for asking RW questions. About time....

[durrrty libby]

10. She handled him like a master virtuoso. It was fun to watch

[PCIntern]

11. Many many years ago

the old Natinal Lampoon magazine gave each of their cartoonists an opportunity to have a full page panel with his own fantasy. The funniest one by far was one cartoonist sitting calmly, and Wm F. Buckley had this look of abject horror on his face, contorted in the chair. The voice balloon from the cartoonist was, "Yes, your face and my ass."

[TahitiNut]

13. Y'know ... watching Faux Snooze can cause a rash, m'luv. (It's an allergic reaction.)

:evilgrin:



:loveya:

[CatWoman]

17. it burns!!!!!!

:)

:hi:

[bigtree]

15. she's perfected that against republicans

might not play so well against everyone else

[BlooInBloo]

16. Bam.

[TomInTib]

18. Now if the press would just do that to chimpy. nt

[Vektor]

20. Say what you will about Hillary -

I DID appreciate her neutering of Wallace. I don't like it when Dems bother to try to address leading questions where RW'ers are obviously framing the language to suit their agenda - the ol' "Are you still beating your wife?" type questions. Not worth any thinking Dem's time, and shouldn't even be dignified with an answer.

I'd like to see more of them respond in such a way as to say "Your agenda is showing, until you quit being manipulative and disingenuous with me, you won't get JACK SHIT."

[undeterred]

24. Its nice to see a post that starts with "I love the way Hillary"

She is a very strong lady with much to admire. :patriot:

[BlooInBloo]

28. lol! You're soooo not gonna get to play any reindeer games.

[in_cog_ni_to]

27. THAT was great! It's the perfect way to handle the idiots...laugh in their face at every question or

comment. What can they say when you do? People know why she's laughing and so does Wallace, but what could he possibly say to counter it? NOTHING!:rofl:

She has a great laugh, BTW.:)

[Diane R]

31. Gag. A forced laugh...to humanize her, I guess. I SO hope I don't have to vote for Hillary.

[pnwmom]

52. Her laugh seemed perfectly natural to me, in response to his idiotic question.

[Pirate Smile]

36. That was one of the most idiotic questions I've ever heard - only on Faux News

would anyone be so clueless. It deserved to be mocked and laughed at by Hillary. She did just fine.

[EV_Ares]

48. Remember, it is not a real news station, it is only a mouthpiece for

the right wing state tv. Wallace is an impostor as a news caster. There is no way he could conduct an interview without a script written out by Rove.

[Stinky The Clown]

37. Credit where its due ...... that was a great performance by HRC

I don't use the word 'performance' as a put down. She was very good and made the Wallace boy look like the tool he is.

And Chrissy ..... fuck you for that 'sentiment' you sent to Bill, you snarky little asshole.

[Beausoir]

38. She's terrific. Laughs right in his face. He's ridiculous and she called him on it.

[pacalo]

42. The forced laughter was meant by Hillary to be sarcastic. And I LOVED it!

[MethuenProgressive]

43. That's how she'll handle their attacks next year too.

It's about time she gets the respect from her own party that she deserves.

[lateo]

44. I have to admit...that laugh came straight from the heat...

it was beautiful and honest. Did anyone else notice his eyes darting to read the teleprompter?

[spanone]

45. Yea, I'm sure Bill will be thrilled.....great video!

:hi:

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

46. She is classy. She knows how to deal with an asshole. We should take notes and laugh at them.

Their true colors shine through when they don't get the response they work really hard to get.

[Peregrine Took]

47. She's a very good debater, I'll give her that. I, also, appreciate her stand on

the Move On thingee. I still am waiting for Al, though. And if he doesn't enter I think Edwards or Richardson.

[tridim]

53. Screw beer, I'd like to share a joint with Hillary.

I bet she was a riot while stoned. :smoke:

I still don't support her, but her laugh has always been genuine and infectious (just like Bill).

[Rock_Garden]

54. She did great in all the debates, but today....

was extra special. We got to see the real person more, self-possessed and able to handle any and every person and situation. She was all over the tv this morning, and never once did she falter. After today, no one can deny that Hillary's top drawer. It's about time! We'll look back and know that today was yet another turning point for the first woman President.

[AlCzervik]

57. that was hilarious, all candidates should laugh at Wallace like that.

[OzarkDem]

58. Very effective, puts him in his place

All the right wing talking heads are assclowns and don't deserve to be taken seriously.

Great way to project that idea to the public - any smart Dem should treat them the same way. Don't take them seriously, ridicule them for what they are.

[HughMoran]

60. Fox is funnier than the Daily Show

They don't realize that the joke is on them - always.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

63. Chris Wallace is a self-esteemed popularly elected official who deserves appropriate respect.

:)
