After a very Presidential-esque news conference – Clinton turned around to leave the reporters and their peppering questions. A staffer swooped open a curtain, and chaos ensued. Four large American flags came crashing in front of Senator Clinton as she headed for the door. In a controlled panic, the staffers and the Senator attempted to catch the flags before they fell to the ground.
“I think the bases are not weighted enough.” Clinton said as she propped flags back up. One of Clinton’s aides quickly summoned the advance man in charge to assist in the crisis.
“…very Presidential-esque news conference…?” Not anymore.

Karma’s a bitch…so’s Hillary.

Was Karl Rove there?
Zorro on November 12, 2007 at 12:45 PM
Heh. That never gets old. Personally I blame the Zionist cabal. And Haliburton.
And the video? FUNNY!!
mjk on November 12, 2007 at 12:47 PM
Yes, it must have been him – that magnificent bastard…

The flags fainted from the spirit of pure evil as it passed.
GoodBoy on November 12, 2007 at 12:49 PM
Wow, see what I mean. He even messed with my post making me quote myself.
Yes. I saw him slip out from behind the curtain, in one of his many disguises, just before the flags fell. But never let the lack of actually seeing him dissuade you of the notion that he wasn’t involved. Cheney allows him use of the mindray machine on occasion.

I am one of those who believes that EVERYTHING happens for a reason. This is both hilarious and interesting. Great clip.
ThackerAgency on November 12, 2007 at 12:52 PM
Looks like explosives took down the flag. Notice the steel poles didn’t melt either. /sarc
df4jc on November 12, 2007 at 12:53 PM
Hillary displays her steel trap of a mind, to wit:
“Hey, I think the bases aren’t weighted enough!”
uh-huh, uh-huh do ya think so???11??
jdpaz on November 12, 2007 at 12:55 PM
Omen, if this woman(?) becomes pres then the union will fall.
Now, will they do the proper ceremony for a flag that has touched the ground? (honestly I don’t know if it has to be done if it happens inside) But how the heck could she burn it and come out not looking all San Francisco?

WastelandMan on November 12, 2007 at 12:56 PM
It would be funny to see Secret Service agents jumping in front of Hillary to shield her with their bodies from the evil flags.
AlexB on November 12, 2007 at 12:58 PM
You sooo have to run with this and make ummm spair change? loose brains? anyway, run with it and stuff.

MirCat on November 12, 2007 at 12:58 PM
Obama is protesting that Hillary did not salute as the flags were lowered.
right2bright on November 12, 2007 at 12:58 PM
And Hilary’s muslim girlfriend is right behind her when the flag falls. How aprapos.
peacenprosperity on November 12, 2007 at 12:58 PM
“When Pantsuits attack”
Tyrs Fury on November 12, 2007 at 1:01 PM
I wonder Hsu funded those flags for Hillary…?
df4jc on November 12, 2007 at 1:03 PM
The first to fall actually looks as though it was trying to get away from her. In doing so, it inadvertently knocked over those flags that had the benefit of being further away. Folks, let us follow our flag’s lead, and run like mad away from a Hillary presidency.
Weight of Glory on November 12, 2007 at 1:03 PM
What now she’s a flag pole expert too?
amend2 on November 12, 2007 at 1:04 PM
O/T:
ABC News “Top of the Hour” news during Rush at 1PM est announces no deaths in Baghdad due to no one left to kill, self-segregation , and that people won’t venture beyond their own block. Directly from DEMS.
JiangxiDad on November 12, 2007 at 1:04 PM
I think in this case, it’s “Pantsuit Attacked” or “Flags Gone Wild”
Rick on November 12, 2007 at 1:07 PM
What, don’t flags have kankles?? I know, I know, low blow…
Rick on November 12, 2007 at 1:08 PM
Those flags got scared and just lost it, poor things. I know how they feel.
Keli on November 12, 2007 at 1:10 PM
bwahahahahahahahahah!
Jay on November 12, 2007 at 1:11 PM
Meh. I thought from the description they were going to fall on her, not away from her.
Dudley Smith on November 12, 2007 at 1:12 PM
lol hillary lies flags die thats freaking funny .
Mojack420 on November 12, 2007 at 1:13 PM
This has nothing to do with this thread at all, but Martha and Kirsten are on the same panel right now.
That is one great panel.
drjohn on November 12, 2007 at 1:19 PM
Vince Foster
Wade on November 12, 2007 at 1:20 PM
Unlike Senator Clinton who will never physically topple over.
Valiant on November 12, 2007 at 1:20 PM
Does anyone else find it incredible offensive to see her touch an American flag???
********
Hillary: “I don’t think the bases are weighted enough.”
What she meant to say: ‘You know, now that those flags have touched the ground, I have a few close friends that would be more then happy to burn them for you.’
ericire12 on November 12, 2007 at 1:21 PM
No, just weighted bottoms she leaves the poles to Monica
Wade on November 12, 2007 at 1:21 PM
All your base are belong to us…
df4jc on November 12, 2007 at 1:23 PM
Notice they just fell away as she approached?
drjohn on November 12, 2007 at 1:24 PM
Were the tops spear-tipped? Maybe the flags had an agenda?
Black Adam on November 12, 2007 at 1:24 PM
I just think that flag was getting a head start on what will happen to it if Hillary is elected. Either that, or someone upstairs is putting a few subtle hints out there.
Vanceone on November 12, 2007 at 1:24 PM
I pity the flags.
JammieWearingFool on November 12, 2007 at 1:25 PM
Dems,
all your base are too lightweight
and don”t belong to us.
BL@KBIRD on November 12, 2007 at 1:27 PM
It looked like the yenta Iwo Jima.
RobCon on November 12, 2007 at 1:31 PM
Good for Hillary, she tried to fix the mess instead of just ignoring it and walking past it. Edwards would have walked.
bnelson44 on November 12, 2007 at 1:31 PM
This is opposition campaign ad imagery if I ever saw it.
Use it, and use it OFTEN.
Hillary as president? Flags fall down.
tickleddragon on November 12, 2007 at 1:33 PM
When the flags realized she was running for president, they passed out.
Omen is right.
Danilo on November 12, 2007 at 1:43 PM
How ironic, how premonistic (is that a real word?) Thank God for the Blogs, I don’t see this on any of the cables.
Lotsa great comments, go HotHeads!
Tony737 on November 12, 2007 at 1:44 PM
Gerald Ford is smiling in Heaven.
BohicaTwentyTwo on November 12, 2007 at 1:48 PM
Consultant Friends all tried to warn me
But I held my nose up high
All the time they warned me
But I thought I knew better by and by
They all tried to tell me
But I guess I didn’t care
I turned my back and
Left them standing there
All the Flags that have fallen after me
All the lonely feelings and the burning memories
All the Flowers that wilted whenever I walked in the door
Falling Flags lost forevermore
Billy tried to help me get a job
He had a while ago
When it finally looked like I got it some Flags didn’t want me to go
The money Hzuy got for me
Which I just pissed all away
Now there’s nothing left that I can pay
All the Flags that have fallen after me
All the lonely feelings and the burning memories
All the Flowers that wilted whenever I walked in the door
Falling Flags lost forevermore
Years have passed and I keep thinking
What a fool I’ve been
I look back into the past and
Think of way back then
I know that I lost everything I thought I that could win
I guess I should have listened to my Consultant Friends
All the Flags that have fallen after me
All the lonely feelings and the burning memories
All the Flowers that wilted whenever I walked in the door
Falling Flags lost forevermore
Falling Flags lost forevermore
- Hillary’s Heros

Symbolismania!
RightWinged on November 12, 2007 at 1:54 PM
It’s a sign!!!!
Winebabe on November 12, 2007 at 1:56 PM
Meaningful coincidence. This could even make Hitchens smile.
captivated_dem on November 12, 2007 at 1:59 PM
She would know about a weighted base.
drjohn on November 12, 2007 at 2:10 PM
Smart flags, I woulda run for the hills too.
infidel4life on November 12, 2007 at 2:11 PM
Flags? Didja see her honkin’ badonkadonk?
I can’t wait for the snowboarding/windsurfing/mountainbiking pics…

Hillary : Flags :: Benny Hinn : Gullible Cripples
fusionaddict on November 12, 2007 at 2:32 PM
Perfect symbolism.
Just as those flags fell in her presence -
if that Communist gets elected, so too will this Nation fall. It will be the beginning of the end for America.
OhEssYouCowboys on November 12, 2007 at 2:35 PM
Oh, and I hope they know that some of those flags now have to be ritualistically cremated.
fusionaddict on November 12, 2007 at 2:36 PM
there fixed it
Mojack420 on November 12, 2007 at 2:38 PM
Don’t worry, they were just in line for burning later.
That’s what libs do.
TheSitRep on November 12, 2007 at 2:39 PM
No, but Huma was.

Hillary’s Waterloo?

zb42 on November 12, 2007 at 2:44 PM
Clearly this is a flag attack of some sort, but is it a false flag attack?
/Truther
BohicaTwentyTwo on November 12, 2007 at 3:02 PM
Not to mention an unstable base.
db on November 12, 2007 at 3:03 PM
Even flags cringe at Hillary.
Alden Pyle on November 12, 2007 at 3:07 PM
No one expects the Vast Right-Winged Conspiracy!
Neo on November 12, 2007 at 3:17 PM
That was the spirits of the dead soldiers sending that woman a message. And ti think she is the frontrunner for POTUS. Sad, sad, sad.
saiga on November 12, 2007 at 3:37 PM
The flags weren’t knocked over. They fainted at the prospect of Hillary as POTUS.
Mallard T. Drake on November 12, 2007 at 3:37 PM
Sad but true.
saiga on November 12, 2007 at 3:43 PM
I thought about that, too. It’s a delicious delimma: on the one hand not to burn a flag that has touched the ground could be considered dishonoring the flag. On the other hand, burning the flag would be just too volatile a symbol.
But there is a perfectly reasonable solution: she could give the flag to the Boy Scouts and have them burn it. They do that sort of thing all the time, and it would be, on balance, good PR for her to reach out to them after the fiasco regarding gays during her husband’s watch.
On the other hand, she could also give it to the American Legion or a similar group, if she didn’t want to revisit the whole Boy Scout thing. That would probably make more political sense, now that I think about it. But either way, she has options.
Whether or not she takes them remains to be seen…
JackOfClubs on November 12, 2007 at 3:44 PM
Who was that guy towards the end… son of Nostrildamus?
SilverStar830 on November 12, 2007 at 3:48 PM
Actually, Hillary was pretty calm through the whole thing and seemed to grab out of concern that a flag was going to drop.
The doofus in the video is the “lock box” dude at the beginning who’s so apologetic. He acts like he wants to kiss her slippers.
T J Green on November 12, 2007 at 4:23 PM
Maybe they could use Hillary’s kankles.

Wade on November 12, 2007 at 4:31 PM
Okay, I just looked crazy to everyone around me and laughed out loud at that title!
simon on November 12, 2007 at 5:05 PM
it says vieo no longer available
bagadeez04 on November 12, 2007 at 7:09 PM
Flags attack the Democrat???
Turnabouts is fair play!!!
landlines on November 12, 2007 at 7:54 PM
Haha, it’s a sign!
And Hillary looks like a potato…
ballz2wallz on November 12, 2007 at 8:09 PM
This is just one step away from a Chevy Chase SNL news item about President Ford. “Senator Clinton was attacked by 4 American flags today. Alert Secret Service agents seized the flags and wrestled them to the ground.”
JimC on November 12, 2007 at 11:47 PM
Poetic Justice defined.
Freelancer on November 13, 2007 at 12:00 AM
I doubt it, especially considering how they bundled them together, then decided to just lean them against the curtain when they couldn’t get them to stand up.
Nitwits.
91Veteran on November 13, 2007 at 12:42 AM
Dances with Poles?
91Veteran on November 13, 2007 at 12:52 AM
Oh, the symbolism of it all….
sMack on November 13, 2007 at 12:58 AM
Are you serious? To many rabid leftists, the Boy Scouts are more evil than bin Hidin. The Legion? They likely believe they are just a bunch of old warmongers.
91Veteran on November 13, 2007 at 1:03 AM
I don’t care about the politics – nobody should vote for any candidate in a trouser suit.
uptight on November 13, 2007 at 2:00 AM
It was the smell of socialism wafting from her breath that caused them to fall.
boomer on November 13, 2007 at 8:32 AM
That’s what happens when you have no respect for them. Flags contain all of the emotions of the people they represent.
MSGTAS on November 13, 2007 at 8:49 AM
It’s the Mahjong Theory.
