I’ll give you two guesses. Which is one more than you’ll need.
She’s also accusing him of being gutless in ducking votes on uncomfortable subjects. To which the big A says, touche. Click the image to retch.
Update: Sweet.

It was a botched joke.
saint kansas on December 4, 2007 at 12:58 PM
Come on, can’t you take a joke? A joke, I tell ya! Heh
iurockhead on December 4, 2007 at 12:59 PM
So will Edwards be the only one left standing after BO and HRC eat each other?
ctmom on December 4, 2007 at 12:59 PM
That’s a lot of wrinkles.
CTDeLude on December 4, 2007 at 1:00 PM
Hillary:
Too funny, like you did 15 times on the Iraq war? Or 6 or so times on illegal driver licenses? Or avoiding Senate votes for amnesty?
Go get’em Hill, we love your rhetoric.
Speakup on December 4, 2007 at 1:04 PM
Yep, that’s the ticket. The Nutcracker is just testing her power to drive the news.
Brat on December 4, 2007 at 1:05 PM
How could it not have been a joke? I haven’t read the whole thing, but really, they couldn’t have possibly wanted everybody to take it so seriously. I don’t want to be labeled a “Hillary apologist,” but I kind of believe that guy from the clip’s defense seems reasonable.

Spinning the spinner…makes my head spin.
right2bright on December 4, 2007 at 1:13 PM
It was satire, Allah. How can you not understand that an official press release that required research and regards a recently discussed topic is simply satire?
amerpundit on December 4, 2007 at 1:17 PM
Making fun of your opponent’s grade school essay. Yes, very funny.
pedestrian on December 4, 2007 at 1:18 PM
the funny thing is, that it only becomes ‘just a joke’ once people start taking it seriously and calling them on what they’ve done.
Canadian Imperialist Running Dog on December 4, 2007 at 1:20 PM
AP, how about a clip of Hillary’s robotic laugh.
pedestrian on December 4, 2007 at 1:23 PM
Brit Hume showed Edwards laughing at her at the end of Special Report last night. It was the first time I ever laughed at something Silky had to say.
Remember back during her cackling tour of the Sunday shows, how we later were told her humor is so far more sophisticated as to be barely perceptible to normal man?
Of course, I didn’t believe that for a second either…
JammieWearingFool on December 4, 2007 at 1:26 PM
In addition to being awfully tired of hearing about the religions of the various candidates … I would absolutely love it if they’d all agree to a moratorium on bringing up comments and actions from the far distant past.
Say … 10 years? 15 years? I’d be nice if some of us would quit doing it, too. I don’t care what Mitt Romney said in 1991 or what Fred Thompson said in 1976 or what Rudy’s views on abortion were when the first Bush was in office.
People change. Views change. They grow and mature. In 1988, I voted for Michael Dukakis, for Mohammad’s sake. But that ain’t exactly relevant to my views today.
(To be fair, I distinctly remember in second grade voting for Gerald Ford in a elementary school mock election. So I was against liberals before I was for them before I was against them. I think.)
Too bad we can’t all stick with the 21st century. You certainly don’t have to go back farther than that to know that you might not wanna vote for Hillary Clinton.
Actually, you only have to go back about an hour and a half. God bless cable news.

That’s been his hope ever since he kept running when he was down at 3% in the polls.
eeyore on December 4, 2007 at 1:27 PM
All I thought of was the Glida Radner/Lisa Loopner..”That’s so funny, I forgot to laugh”
Pam on December 4, 2007 at 1:28 PM
Dude.
JiangxiDad on December 4, 2007 at 1:33 PM
Why is it that when Democrats make a satire it is never, ever amusing in any way?
BKennedy on December 4, 2007 at 1:36 PM
I sure hope they keep up this Rock ‘Em, Sock ‘Em robots stuff (”You knocked my block off!”). It’ll help come general election time.
And in the shameless self-promotion department, I found Hillary’s own third-grade essay.
Attila (Pillage Idiot) on December 4, 2007 at 1:39 PM
You’d figure the Dimocraps would learn about cracking jokes from Kerry, but noooooo…..
Mazztek on December 4, 2007 at 1:43 PM
What if Obama failed naptime in kindergarten? Is Clinton going to cite that as evidence of a physical disqualification for the presidency?

1. It was a joke
2. I don’t remember

This quote from MM, with a link to the article on Hsu, from the HA headlines, w/b great as an update to this thread
Entelechy on December 4, 2007 at 2:02 PM
I admit to being shocked that our FBI files contain copies of elementary school homework.
What else did she and Bill find in those folders?
saint kansas on December 4, 2007 at 2:06 PM
This is what you get when you back a union…bad writing.
Now that’s funny…I crack me up.
right2bright on December 4, 2007 at 2:06 PM
What is it with the subconciousness of this woman? Sen. Craig just did, and look what happened. Oh, I see, she realized that nothing happened, and…
Hope you don’t mind BKennedy.
Entelechy on December 4, 2007 at 2:07 PM
You forgot the big one….
It was a conspiracy. or Rove, same thing
right2bright on December 4, 2007 at 2:07 PM
There is no longer even any pretense of honesty. Wheew!
ronsfi on December 4, 2007 at 2:11 PM
With permission,
6. It was a conspiracy – by right2bright
7. It depends what so and so is
8. You nitwits just don’t get it
9. You Republicans are just mean
10. In fact you Republicans are all Nazis

After watching Mark Penn desparately making bogus excuses, I am now convinced.
Mark is definitely related to Sean.
“salvaging a campaign and eatin some pizza dude”
fogw on December 4, 2007 at 2:15 PM
Except for Mr.Ku-sin-itch there couldn’t be a better outcome for the Reps. 10 months of ‘John your Used Car Salesman’ ads would sew it up.
Limerick on December 4, 2007 at 2:16 PM
Hillary is a lesbian.
What? Can’t you tell I’m joking? The printed media is so full of inflection!
Nethicus on December 4, 2007 at 2:18 PM
Anyone want to take odds on how long it is before Mark Penn is fired?
Buy Danish on December 4, 2007 at 2:28 PM
Especially shocking that they contain elementary school homework from Indonesia. How did they manage that?
Gianni on December 4, 2007 at 2:47 PM
My teachers told me things would be on my permanent record, but I never knew they were this serious about it.
James on December 4, 2007 at 2:52 PM
The real joke is Hillary’s haughty and imperious attitude. She can tolerate no criticism and (unlike her husband) is incapable of damage control.
I get the feeling that her campaign is one question away from a catastrophic meltdown.
Mike Honcho on December 4, 2007 at 3:05 PM
Good point, which is why she stays away from the press.
right2bright on December 4, 2007 at 3:13 PM
Example: The Hillary Clinton campaign
Seriously, how stupid are these people when they don’t even know the definition of satire.
I mean hell, at least John Kerry’s botched joke line has plausible deniability, but come on, satire? Just stupid politicians who have no grasp of the English language appealing to their constituints who usually don’t have a grasp of the English language either, despite so many of them being English professors.
BKennedy on December 4, 2007 at 3:17 PM
Hoo boy. Have you seen the latest? Hillary’s camp has drafted Shirley Maclaine to look into Obama’s past lives, and I guess Obama once gave five dollars to Wendell Wilkie’s campaign.
Doug on December 4, 2007 at 3:17 PM
Barack Obama is missing a golden opportunity to really demolish Hillary’s “I have courage and you don’t routine”. Obama should show the photos and video of Hillary Clinton standing next to Suha Arafat in Ramallah while Suha Arafat accused Israelis and Jews of deliberately poisoning Palestinian children. It was a blatantly antiSemitic lie. It was basically a rehash of a claim made in the Middle Ages that Jews poisoned wells and thereby poisoned the water supply and caused the bubonic plague. So what did brave Hillary do when Suha Arafat told this monstrous lie? She stood next to Suha Arafat with a beatific smile. After Arafat finished with her nastiness, Hillary kissed Suha Arafat on both cheeks. When quizzed about why she did not protest to Suha Arafat and why she kissed Suha Arafat after the speech, Hillary said that she was being diplomatic and her detractors did not have Hillary’s knowledge of Arab culture. After Hillary was safely back in the US and after Hillary saw the criticism that her gutlessness recived, Hillary then condemned Suha Arafat.
For Hillary to call Barack Obama gutless after Hillary’s craven performance with Suha Arafat is the height of Clintonian self delusion. I don’t know why Barack Obama does not respond to Hillary with a reminder of Hillary’s craven behavior in Ramallah on that shameful day.
Larraby on December 4, 2007 at 3:18 PM
Monica Crowley is doing a grand job of skewering the Clinton campaign right now on John Gibson’s The Big Story.
Buy Danish on December 4, 2007 at 5:37 PM
Bill’s positioning Hillary as “The come back kid 2“.
Entelechy on December 4, 2007 at 6:14 PM
Cute cat… -on Hillary

Oh heck, permission always granted… I knew someone could add more than I could think up …..
MNDavenotPC on December 4, 2007 at 6:55 PM
Nuh UHH!!
Third grade papers are a small price to pay to be able to demand….the super secret Saul Alinsky thesis!
inviolet on December 4, 2007 at 8:51 PM
Let’s see…
It was a “bureaucratic snafu” (FBI files on Republicans in Clinton White House office)
It was “sloppy, sloppiness” (Sandy Berger stealing documents from the National Archives)
These people’s thesauruses must be EXHAUSTED by the end of every day they get caught doing something else.
AmericanDad on December 5, 2007 at 12:45 AM
Obama is an uppity negro according to the Clintonistas…LOL
