Her questions are scripted so are her answers.

OOH to be so lucky to ask her an unscripted question to watch her throw out the sand on stage and begin the “Hiterly Hustle”

OK, Thompson should use this for an ad. The ad can show clips of the planted questions, and this young lady’s testimony and end with this line:
Hillary Clinton, the ~~smartest~~, most scripted woman in America

Dick Armey - Why I Think Hillary Will Win First and foremost, the Republican brand as effective stewards of the taxpayer dollar is in tatters, and the shredding doesn’t look to stop any time soon. Just yesterday, 138 House Republicans joined the Democrats in voting to override the president’s veto of a wasteful and pork-ridden Water Resources bill. That vote was a shameful display of personal politics over the national interest, and it contains the seeds of destruction of whatever conservative principles remain in the Republican party. No wonder Americans prefer Democrats on the economy, taxes, and spending issues, according to recent polling data. When the choice is between Democrats, and the Democrat-lite ideas the GOP has become so comfortable offering, the Democrats will win every time. To counter Hillary Clinton’s perfectly oiled political machine, Republicans need to return to their Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan roots. They need to present an alternative vision for America—a positive vision that limits government and trusts individuals and leaves families, churches, and businesses free to make their own decisions, and not have bureaucrats and politicians calling the shots. Right now, the country is headed toward a date with Hillary Clinton, and big government is on the agenda. The only way to change that rendezvous is for candidates to offer a clear, principled, limited government alternative.

Yes, planting questions is probably SOP with all the candidates, but if Hillary’s campaign isn’t smart enough to CYA properly, I think a legitimate concern about competence can be raised.

(No, I’m not serious.)

Give Hill a break. She was just practicing for the scripted questions she’ll get on “Noballs with Noballs” and “Defeat the Nation.” It’s not like Hill was doing anything fraudulent.

Keep pushing Rudiani and we will have eight years of this pig.

My question is how many times during Q&A does she do that same move?
mjkazee on November 13, 2007 at 12:38 PM

I gotta think that by this time, she has the mindless (and pointless) responses memorized. “I’m glad you asked me that”….. is #1. “I get that question a lot”….. is #2. “As I travel, I constantly meet people in that situation”…..is #3. When I’m President….. is #4. And so on. If she was looking down, it was probably to glance at her blackberry to see which response her handlers want her to use.

After all, her response to the plant was just as meaningless as the rest of her responses.

I think that the most vile aspect of this scenario is the wink of the apparatchik [student]. The wink is proof-positive that, not only is she an apparatchik [which goes hand-in-hand with the legacy of Communism] of the Clinton plan for collectivism; but, also, that she has no problem with being a part of a conspiracy of deceit. We all expect deceit out of a Clinton [any Clinton]; but, that a “student” would willingly be a part of it – shows just how vile, corrupt and rotting the Clinton base is.

The wink said it all.

Rush did a devestating takedown of this in a parody a short time ago.

She’s also of the generation that is very comfortable in front of the camera.

I think this girl was an Edwards plant. Sent to the Hillary speech to troll around and hopefully get picked to ask a question . . . then later turn on Her Screech and tell her story.

By: The Race Card

The shocking thing is that CNN would actually run this story.

Clark1 on November 13, 2007 at 12:26 PM

Not really. What’s shocking is that you are the only person who has made that lame remark thus far.

***

I don’t know. It just seemed a bit staged.

MikeZero on November 13, 2007 at 12:04 PM

I agree with you in that it is a rare person who is instantly at ease and self-aware while on camera. Cameras make 85% of people forget who they are momentarily. The girl stays in frame, doesn’t stare and stays poised.

I have shot music videos, documentary footage and news packages. This doesn’t seem “staged” to me. I’m guessing the student simply listened to her cameraman pre-roll instructions and told the truth. She’s also of the generation that is very comfortable in front of the camera.

Ms. College Student, if that is indeed her real name, is a Rove plant to make Hilary look like “she’s not very familar with her plans”.

“Raise your hand and she’ll call on you”. Yeah right. That’s something only Karl Rove would say.

I never was a plant, but when I was a teen and involved in politics I was instructed that plants are SOP for all campaigns on both sides of the aisle.

Bite your vast, right-wing, conspiratorial tongue for even considering such a blasphemous thought!!

I know NB caught the wink the girl gave at the end of her question but something I noticed, I have looked around the last couple of minutes for other video but have not found one yet, that after the question Hill looks down at the podium as she begins to answer. Obviously scanning for the answer on her papers. My question is how many times during Q&A does she do that same move? I think we could get a better picture of how often there are these plants. From earlier post we know this was going on in the 90’s. Just wondering
