Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Friday, April 11, 2008

Hillary Clinton used her trademark laugh Thursday to deflect a question about the $800,000 her husband earned in 2005 giving speeches for a Bogota-based group that supports the Colombia free trade agreement -- the same trade deal she currently opposes. Asked by CNN if those earnings represented a conflict of interest given that she has dipped into her family's pocketbook to pay campaign bills, Clinton threw up her hands and laughed loudly for several seconds. "How many angels dance on the head of the pin?," she responded, continuing to giggle. "I have really, uh, nothing to ... I mean, how do you answer that?"

Admin's note: Participants in the discussion of this weblog entry should note the site's moderation policy.

Earlier in the press conference, describing her husband's advocacy for the trade deal, Clinton said: "Everyone is free to express their opinion."

The only problem is that Bill was paid $800,000 to express his opinion. The only problem that is when her husband and campaign manager champion a free trade deal with Colombia it calls in to question Hillary's claim that she is against it. Add these facts to her to-ing and fro-ing about NAFTA, and voters have a right to ask: is Hillary saying one thing while secretly believing another?

"Clinton Laughs off Colombia Questions"

Actually, it was a cackle.

And, from what I've seen over the years, a good indicator that she's probably lying.

This is no cackling matter....

"She's old and very, very sleepy."
- Bill Clinton

So we can cackle when Hellary doesn't get the nomination then right???

Dumb move by Hillary. Politicians aren't allowed to accept foreign donations to their campaigns. Since her husband earned so much from a foreign government, she should have been prepared to deal with how this is different than a foreign donation.

How do you answer that? Excuse yourself from running for President because your husband is taking bribes from foreigners, drug dealers and foreign govts. might be a good start. Don't you think, Hill?

I did not take money from that Colombian drug lord (wagging finger)

I wonder what accent she used when she cackled?

You know everytime that I convince myself that she is done, I remember that Bush got re-elected.

I still can't believe that shit?

You never know what is going to happen with the amount of stupid fucking people out there that vote.

And I'm one of 'em! (Be afraid, be very afraid!)

Bribes? He got paid for speaking just like he gets paid to speak anywhere.

There is no need to lie about this. But if it makes you feel better about yourself, by all means, continue to lie.

From what I've seen, I get the impression she doesn't believe she needs to take anything serious...unless her handlers deem it serious and have prepped her beforehand. Sort of like dim bulb in the White House now.

**** You never know what is going to happen with the amount of stupid fucking people out there that vote.

.......you wonder how they make it to the polling stations without getting lost......

First thing to my mind when seeing the headline was that stupid braying laugh.

Forgive Obama for the gross exaggeration when he said she was likable enough.

If she fails to slime her way into the nomination will she run as an Independent ?

Seems like ClintonCo is working overtime to deliver the presidency to the war party.

"she should have been prepared to deal with how this is different than a foreign donation."

that's an understatement for sure.

No matter how right you may be, you have to be careful how much you insult the people who you are hoping will vote with you come november.

That's general advice to anyone who is hoping we don't have a President McCain come next January.

I doubt you'll be seeing any angels when God takes you hillary.

Simple question:

Why on earth would anybody find that question either funny or unanswerable?

Here is another link if you can't play the one above. She is pathetic and I almost feel sorry for her but I'll get over it.

Bribes? He got paid for speaking just like he gets paid to speak anywhere.

Met a girl once and paid her $200 for speaking. Also screwed her brains out, but I just paid her for speaking.

"How many angels dance on the head of the pin?," she responded, continuing to giggle. "I have really, uh, nothing to ... I mean, how do you answer that?"

Not like this.

Funny Flag GT.

How TF is Clinton running such a pitiful campaign? Does she have Kerry people working for her or something? Christ. I guess you can't pay people to force words out of her mouth (I remember images of a wireless device under Bush's jacket during a debate... so maybe you can) We were told there's never been a campaign dynamic duo like bill and hill....

Poor Hill... she loses this one, that's her one bite at the apple.

God help the Dem's once the repubs go after Obama. You think he's getting it bad from Hillary? Just wait until the Rovians enter stage right.

What Hill doesn't realize is Life begins at conception and we are all born into sin therefore aborted fetuses lived with out sin so they go strait to heaven and become... wait for it...ANGELS.

/and they don't dance on pins.

Yeah, Hillary's a real comediene when it comes to what's best for America.

that's easy, hill - it's one angel for every pinhead!

jeez, i wish she'd just stop trying to pander to people of faith - we don't buy it.

I can hear that cackle now:

Hamas - "We will wipe Israel off the map!"

Hillary - "Hahahaha - How many Moohameds can dance on the head of a pin?"

hillary thinks it funny that people are concerned that she professes to be against a trade bill that both her husband(essentially) and chief campaign manager are lobbying for....

not to mention the fact that both mccain and clinton essentially employ the same pr firm to run their respective campaigns...

hmmmmm

are the sirens blaring and the red lights flashing yet?


jezzz

hopefully the american electorate will at least wake up long enough to break this bush-clinton-bush chain....

like too many washington insiders she never thought the press would call her on this... she never in her wildest dreams the press would ask about conflicts of interest... she didn't care then and she doesn['t care now, she's just upset that someone is actually saying something.

I bet she has enough pull within cnn to have that reporter killed.. but having him fired will be enough. How dare he ask that question?

Hugh and Tony Rodham, Hillary's brothers got paid by drug lords to get pardons from then President Bill Clinton. That is what I was referring to...

If you think a pimp like Clinton let's those two bozos, keep all the vig on those deals, I don't know what to tell you. Bill got paid to pardon Marc Rich care of the Bill Clinton Library as well. My source is the Clinton Loving, Boston Globe. BOSTON.COM

MikeC, it seems a little naive to think someone pays someone 800,000 just to speak. Sure there is some cache in having a pres speak, but there is also a heck of a lot of influence too.

Too laugh at this, on top of the Penn incident with Columbia, well it is funny but in a different way!

Brings up a question...if Billy-bob gets paid millions to speak to strangers, then shouldn't his speaking in benefit of a presidential candidate count as a campaign contribution?

Hillary's laugh is almost exactly like the perfect girl Seinfeld would date until he heard her laugh.

Many of Hillary's position's have become desparate responses to Obama's arguments or poll chasing. Meaningless.

Uncontrolled Immigration appears to be the policy which binds our three candidates. It is the unwritten policy of our Government. We pay to have one agency pick a few up and another release them. Hill and Bill are in pretty deep with Corporate America.
