SECOND LOOK AT SYMPATHY FOR HILLARY!
…if only she hadn’t turned it into a not-so-oblique attack on Obama. Calculating to the last. Click the image to watch.
Update: “She really loves us and wants us to succeed in the world. I think she’s real now, there’s a person there.”
Update: Awww. “I’ll tell them that. Okay, I love you.”

I thought the only setting on her was “Shrill”.

Boo Freakin Hoo.
Cry me a river.
Ahmadinejad in Tehran must be laughing his beard off and salivating at the chance to deal with this buttclown for the next four years.
Always Right on January 7, 2008 at 1:09 PM
It works…
*sniff*
RushBaby on January 7, 2008 at 1:10 PM
She will try anything to fool people.
libhater on January 7, 2008 at 1:10 PM
Please. This is totally calculated. Its the Clintons!
mpg137 on January 7, 2008 at 1:11 PM
Hillary is playing the gender card.
bnelson44 on January 7, 2008 at 1:11 PM
Want some French-cries with that whaaam-burger, Hill?
Claypigeon on January 7, 2008 at 1:11 PM
She HAS to do it! She’s SACRIFICING HERSELF for US!!11!eleventy!
The woman is a SAINT!

very personal= IT”S MY TIME!
abinitioadinfinitum on January 7, 2008 at 1:12 PM
Crocodile tears.
AND, the Taliban are ringer their hands at her whining.
csdeven on January 7, 2008 at 1:12 PM
Her emotion software must have recently been upgraded or something…its almost convincing now.
SDnocoen on January 7, 2008 at 1:13 PM
As a woman, I think that’s disgusting and an embarrassment.
Afterward, Billy Jeff sez “Honey, you didn’t bite your lip. I TOLD YOU to bite your lip!!”
Brat on January 7, 2008 at 1:13 PM
Simply an emotional blackmail. Hillary has always been the dour, calculating woman behind that curtain. Crocodile tears to get sympathy. Maybe Obama (as a man) can get away with this, too?
Kokonut on January 7, 2008 at 1:14 PM
If those tears are real, and I doubt they are, it is only because the Clinton’s sordid past has finally caught up to the utterly fraudulent & hideous woman.
Hopefully, we are witnessing the beginning of the end for the fraud that has been the Clinton’s since they first popped on the scene.
Dave R. on January 7, 2008 at 1:14 PM
Must be the Global Warming:)
Frank DiGiorgio on January 7, 2008 at 1:14 PM
I believe her. It really is very personal for her. But she sounds phony when she says it’s about love of country. It’s more about her ego. She’s been after this all her life, and if she fails, her life’s dream is a failure in her mind. That’s what drives her to get up in the morning and continue on the campaign trail. No wonder she’s so emotional about it.
NNtrancer on January 7, 2008 at 1:15 PM
You got the “extremely intelligent” part right. And with that, there is a glimmer of hope for ol’ Joe that the only Democrat with some sanity on foreign policy might last a while longer. Hillary, you magnificent b- uh…. candidate.
joewm315 on January 7, 2008 at 1:16 PM
Shall we call her the waaaaaaaahmbulance?
NoFanofLibs on January 7, 2008 at 1:16 PM
I hate to kick a man when she is down, so I will refrain.

Maxx on January 7, 2008 at 1:17 PM
Darn Mitt is a better crier
William Amos on January 7, 2008 at 1:17 PM
That’s going to be the final nail in her campaign coffin. Who are the dolt’s she has running her campaign? They wouldn’t know how to win an election even if the had a Dummy’s Guide.
Tyrs Fury on January 7, 2008 at 1:17 PM
Chillary is just SOOOO sincere in everything she portrays about herself. (NOT.)
Y’know, this woman should be a Hollywood actress, not a DC politician. That’d be a MUCH better career fit for her.
King Dom on January 7, 2008 at 1:18 PM
It’s believable! It’s believable from the standpoint that we all know the Clintons will do anything to get elected, to stay in the media and make everything about them. I’m reminded of Bill Clinton walking with Tony Campolo at Ron Brown’s funeral, and squeezing out a tear when he realized he was on camera.
The only people fooled by this are…well, you know.
AubieJon on January 7, 2008 at 1:18 PM
We know how bad you want this job Mrs. Clinton. And that’s exactly why you can’t have it.
BlackCapitalist on January 7, 2008 at 1:19 PM
Man I am just too cynical
And why I chase after other womenWilliam Amos on January 7, 2008 at 1:19 PM
Let’s see: first Drudge emblazoned “Hillary about to Quit”; then we see “Hillary breaks up in front of audience”. Both designed to strike at the heart of the female voter’s heart. This is political brilliance – Bill must have thought this one (or one/two) up. Wait and see, this will take Obama off the front page for today. Hillary ain’t out yet. c
volnation on January 7, 2008 at 1:19 PM
I am sure Kim Jung Mentally Ill and the Little Leisure Suit Wearing Thug Leader of Iran will be extra sensitive if they ever have to negotiate with her.
cat-scratch on January 7, 2008 at 1:20 PM
Day One – Force the military to give homosexuals special status
Day Two – Ramp up abortion funding (it’s for the kids)
Day Three – Check out the new gifts to the American people and start boxing them up
Day Four – Pardon all the criminals that have paid-up
Day Five – Call China and start bargaining
Hening on January 7, 2008 at 1:20 PM
I think she’s just doing this to prove she’s not an East German cyborg. Don’t fall for it, people!
Pasalubong on January 7, 2008 at 1:20 PM
Which is why I find it hard to believe she’ll drop out soon. You can never underestimate the comeback ability of the Clinton Machine.
amerpundit on January 7, 2008 at 1:21 PM
And point the thumb.
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on January 7, 2008 at 1:22 PM
Maybe her and Fed can team up on a series for TV? What would the title be I wonder?
csdeven on January 7, 2008 at 1:22 PM
Looking for the academy award or the presidency?
Maybe the feedback from the last 16 years that she’s an ice-cold shrill jerk finally made its way through her thick liberal skull…..probably with the aid of her campaign advisors’ constant sledgehammering.
wildweasel on January 7, 2008 at 1:23 PM
fixed
William Amos on January 7, 2008 at 1:23 PM
her tears are not for her cause, but for herself.
she’s now a weepy woman, but a diabolical political hack.
pretty pathetic posturing, but fascinating non-the-less.
another political season first.
jimmer on January 7, 2008 at 1:23 PM
This is snort-worthy
Wade on January 7, 2008 at 1:23 PM
I believe the tears are real. I’m sure she’s exhausted and a bit demoralized.
I don’t think the tears are for our country. I hope they aren’t. I don’t mind a President that cries, but I don’t want a President that cries for our country when 92% of Americans are happy with their own lives.
MayBee on January 7, 2008 at 1:23 PM
i actually felt for her there. All you mean men making her cry! you go girlfriend!
zane on January 7, 2008 at 1:24 PM
So, um…
Suppose Fred did that?
How about Rudy?
G on, just picture it. It’s good for a bellylaugh, I promise.
Typhoon on January 7, 2008 at 1:24 PM
What an opportunist. She gets a small smattering of applause when the exhaustion/stress tears show up, and she milks it for all it’s worth.
JustTruth101 on January 7, 2008 at 1:25 PM
A McGovern moment?
d1carter on January 7, 2008 at 1:25 PM
I think she just heard the latest poll numbers.
Les in NC on January 7, 2008 at 1:25 PM
Rush isn’t buying it either. There are no tears that I can see. She is, in effect, using the gender card again. She thinks it’ll work this time because she’s a woman, but it won’t.
I remember years ago when Maggie Thatcher cried in public when her son went missing while competing in the Paris-Dakar rally. The press was merciless; and her tears were genuine.
infidel65 on January 7, 2008 at 1:26 PM
mmmmmm pizza, the food of teh gods!
she seemed to see the reaction she got from the first part (which seemed genuine) and just ran with it.
trailortrash on January 7, 2008 at 1:26 PM
LEAVE HILLARY ALONE!!!!!!!
csdeven on January 7, 2008 at 1:27 PM
C’mon folks. She’s not trying to fool/convince us. She’s making a phony emotional appeal to people who only want emotional appeals, phony or not. There is no downside, as there is no way this can hurt her with her Democrats.
JiangxiDad on January 7, 2008 at 1:27 PM
“I have so many opportunities for this country. I don’t want to see us fall backwards.”
Hillary…backwards…..there is a joke in there. I’ll leave it alone.
“Opportunities.” Yes. Opportunities that we’ll be paying for. Every time she speaks about change, I reach for my wallet. It’s probably a fear that “change” is all I’ll have left in my pocket with Comrade Clinton at the helm.
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on January 7, 2008 at 1:27 PM
I usually shed a tear or two when someone kicks me in the nuts too.
Torch on January 7, 2008 at 1:28 PM
It’s easy to be emotional when what you want seems to be slipping away. That does not mean emotion reflects any nobility or honesty.
Spirit of 1776 on January 7, 2008 at 1:29 PM
She took a page right out of Fred!’s book, actually borrowing some of his words. For the first minute she sounded the most genuine that I’ve ever seen her, exposing herself as potentially human. But then she inevitably turned to demagoguery.
Indeed a tiny crack in the glacier, however there is no global warming, so the ice has re-frozen.
AlexB on January 7, 2008 at 1:29 PM
This is typical of the controlling, calculating type of “woman” Hillary is. When you back them into a corner, and they can’t get away with tearing you to shreds, they will start squeezing out tears in the hope that you’ll back off lest you end up being regarded as a bully.
CurtZHP on January 7, 2008 at 1:30 PM
OK….the title of the new political TV drama starring Hillary and Fred……
The Pendulum
He doesn’t want to be president so bad he wont do anything. She wants to be president so bad she’ll do anything.
csdeven on January 7, 2008 at 1:30 PM
One of her tears hit the floor and ate its way through to the sub-basement.
Akzed on January 7, 2008 at 1:31 PM
Unfortunately there are too many people, Democrat and Republican, voting via their emotions instead of on the issues.
Brat on January 7, 2008 at 1:31 PM
Her show already flopped – remember “Commander in Chief”?
Rick on January 7, 2008 at 1:31 PM
Anybody read Bob Shrumm today?
I’d be crying, too.
tree hugging sister on January 7, 2008 at 1:31 PM
Which is why this is a win for her.
JiangxiDad on January 7, 2008 at 1:32 PM
I wonder how many times she had to practice that with her handlers before she looked semi-human.
Clark1 on January 7, 2008 at 1:32 PM
You wanna bet Huck comes out with a Jesus moment in her support?
Bwahahahaha!!
csdeven on January 7, 2008 at 1:32 PM
Hey, if Obama cried, he’d get a few more points too. Think of the humanity…
JiangxiDad on January 7, 2008 at 1:33 PM
Oh the Writers’ Strike needs to end… I sense an awesome SNL skit in the offing.
D2Boston on January 7, 2008 at 1:33 PM
Or maybe her snuke is out of kilter?
csdeven on January 7, 2008 at 1:33 PM
And please don’t say anything harsh back to me. I’m feeling a little sad. I had such high hopes for this place. whimper…
JiangxiDad on January 7, 2008 at 1:33 PM
She’s doing the sequel now: “Pantsuit in Tears”
Rick on January 7, 2008 at 1:34 PM
Who didn’t see this coming after her “You hurt my feelings” line the other night. The instant reaction polls went up for her.
I said to myself afterwards…
“Self, the Clinton machine is gonna take this stint and run with it come Monday morning!”
Sure ’nuff. Self was right.
SouthernPride on January 7, 2008 at 1:34 PM
csdeven,
It’s the people who Fred to become president. There is no “I” when it comes to being the president since it is he who serve the people. Hillary is the extreme exception on wanting to be that president at all cost…even riding her husband’s coat-tail, getting elected as senator in a liberal state, NY, and crying and saying she is “passionate” on wanting to do this. Well, she should be since she was willing to overlook Bill’s history of infidelity just to keep his name.
don’t think too hard, csdeven.
Kokonut on January 7, 2008 at 1:35 PM
Yeah, he’ll toss a bookcase behind her head.
Oh wait, no. That would be Chuck Norris throwing a bookcase at her head. My bad.
SouthernPride on January 7, 2008 at 1:38 PM
LOL. REally
JiangxiDad on January 7, 2008 at 1:39 PM
Ha ha.
peski on January 7, 2008 at 1:40 PM
If Allison Hampton is dumb enough to fall for this phony tear thing she shouldn’t be allowed to vote for anyone !!
OBX Pete on January 7, 2008 at 1:40 PM
Billy Jeff:
“I can’t make her younger, or taller, or prettier, or nicer, or sexier….”
Qzsusy on January 7, 2008 at 1:41 PM
It’s her John Kerry “I can’t believe I’m losing to this f***ing idiot” moment. She probably already said that too when she said Obama hasn’t done the spade work to be president.
Brat on January 7, 2008 at 1:42 PM
Do we really want a cry-baby for POTUS?
I realize that Hillary has no soul and is incapable of real human feeling. That this is nothing but emotional blackmail. Those tears were as real as that woman she hired to play her mom in those Iowa ads! ;-0
That being said, there is a reason why we haven’t had a female President and that is because females have been deemed to be the weaker sex. Hillary’s “Muskie Moment” doesn’t do much to convince skeptics that she’s up to the task of being President. She’s managed to undermine the feminist message of the last 30 years. If Hillary weeps on the campaign trail, what is going to happen when Congress overrides her veto or if Venezuela says something mean about her? She can’t declare she is able to run with the big dogs and then bawl when things don’t go her way.
highhopes on January 7, 2008 at 1:43 PM
See that light? That’s your career dissipation light.
Dave from Flint on January 7, 2008 at 1:44 PM
Maybe she needs a visit from Dr. Phil.
AlexB on January 7, 2008 at 1:44 PM
No. Fred has said on several occasions that he wants to be president to do some things only a president can do. He has gone on to say that he isn’t really interested in it. And he has done nothing to make sure it’s true.
csdeven on January 7, 2008 at 1:44 PM
boo freakin’ hoo…
vlad on January 7, 2008 at 1:45 PM
Some are right and some are wrong…you are wrong.
Hillary, all of us feel we want our country to do great, we all have maybe even deeper feelings then yours. Typical liberal, only thinks they are the ones that care.
*
Well Hillary, here is news for you. There are parents with children protecting your right to run, and they have a lot more vested interest in our country then you do. And there are others (Bless them) who have given their lives to allow you to run, and they have a lot more interest and desire for the nation to succeed…how do I know? Because they act, you talk. If you really cared, you would step out of the way and let a real American lead us.
right2bright on January 7, 2008 at 1:46 PM
Someone out there got a tissue I can borrow… I’ve run out!
Gartrip on January 7, 2008 at 1:47 PM
Hey Hitlary…it’s scum like you and the rest of the left that is yanking this country backwards. Not the other way around. Save your tears you monster because we know this episode is totally made up for your benefit. There is no soft side to you and people with brains aren’t buying into it.
Then again, realizing her rightful place on the throne is in jeopardy might bring her to tears.
libhater on January 7, 2008 at 1:47 PM
She’s right about Obama. He hasn’t earned the right to run for president (and neither has Silky). He hasn’t even served half a term in the Senate. At least Hillary fulfilled her promise to New Yorkers that she’d serve a full term.
I’ll bet there’s quite a few veteran dems (Kennedy, Kerry, Biden etc.) wondering who this guy thinks he is.
infidel65 on January 7, 2008 at 1:48 PM
OBX Pete on January 7, 2008 at 1:40 PM
Absolutely! BTW love the OBX, will be there in a couple of weeks.
Les in NC on January 7, 2008 at 1:49 PM
Lol.
Spirit of 1776 on January 7, 2008 at 1:49 PM
A candidate for the presidency must be a “natural-born” citizen of the United States, at least 35 years of age, and a resident of the United States for at least 14 years.
Spirit of 1776 on January 7, 2008 at 1:51 PM
Been all over the US. Never heard menopause called that. Interesting. If she drinks a glass of soy milk, she’ll feel better, and will be right back on that campaign trail!
JiangxiDad on January 7, 2008 at 1:53 PM
Husband Bill from the second update:
Said he, cursing his luck on the first two points…
Tzetzes on January 7, 2008 at 1:53 PM
TKO. But aren’t we gonna be arguing the same thing about Obama in 5,4, 3,….?
JiangxiDad on January 7, 2008 at 1:54 PM
Does the name Ed Muskie ring a familiar bell? His waterworks blew him right out of the presidential race ‘way back when.
Of could the MSM didn’t love Ed. They do love this female person.
Note that she said something to the effect that while we all want to make things better, some of “us” are just wrong.
She can make it all better for us.
Not.
MrScribbler on January 7, 2008 at 1:55 PM
Sounds like he earned the right.
thequeball on January 7, 2008 at 1:55 PM
Ouch. She better put some ice on that.
saint kansas on January 7, 2008 at 1:56 PM
Give me a break . . . this woman has trashed more people in her lifetime than most third world dictators. Now she’s attempting to play the sympathy card but her act is a phony as her husband’s explanation of sexual relations.
rplat on January 7, 2008 at 1:58 PM
After watching that, I have vowed to vote for her – IF she starts wearing dresses instead of pantsuits.
I think I’m safe.
fred5678 on January 7, 2008 at 1:59 PM
Just sad…not. Though Hillary shedding her tears remind me of this guy at the Bali global warming summit.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/worldnews.html?in_article_id=502563&in_page_id=1811
Maybe if she change her clothings and wear flashy, chic shirt like the crying Dutchman maybe her crocodile tears just might….might work!
