Video: “Hil Force One”
posted at 10:41 am on January 17, 2008 by Bryan
Hillary Clinton tries to be funny, and fails.
“If you look out from the right, you’ll see an America saddled with tax cuts for the wealthiest and a war without end. If you look out from the left, you’ll see an America with a strong middle class and a strong reputation in the world.”
Right. The Clintons are just the ones to restore America’s reputation.
“FAA regulations prohibit the use of any cell phones, BlackBerrys, or wireless devices that may be used to transmit a negative story about me. And in the event of an unexpected drop in poll numbers, this plane will be diverted to New Hampshire.”
Why? To drop in on the recount?
“We know you have choices when you fly, and so we are grateful that you chose the plane with the most experienced candidate.”
Har de har. Except that even against Obama and Edwards, Hillary isn’t the most experienced candidate in terms of years spent in elective office. If by “experience” one counts flying into danger zones alongside Sinbad and Sheryl Crow, then sure, Hill’s the one.
But what does it mean when Hillary has become the most likable Clinton?

If you look out the window to your right, you’ll see a safe, free, prosperous America. If you look out the window to your left, you’ll find a Nanny State, high taxes, socialized medicine, appeasement of enemies, and “government knows best”.

what a tool can they open the door and toss this witch out
Mojack420 on January 17, 2008 at 10:46 AM
And comrades, Aeroflot thanks you for flying with us today.
fogw on January 17, 2008 at 10:46 AM
If she were married to a pilot, she’d claim she had a lifetime of experience flying airliners.
petefrt on January 17, 2008 at 10:47 AM
The most experienced candidate?
culturism on January 17, 2008 at 10:49 AM
Did she say most experienced candidate, or most expensive candidate?
If the latter, hoo wah!
MadisonConservative on January 17, 2008 at 10:50 AM
I think if I saw her as my flight attendant, I would turn around and demand my money back. If she’s the flight attendant, who the hell is flying the plane, Bill? Scary thought.
Torch on January 17, 2008 at 10:52 AM
Where was the real stewardess? With Bill in the back of the plane?
m1a1usmc on January 17, 2008 at 10:52 AM
She was reading that off a script on the bilkhead on pasted on the back of the door, right?
juanito on January 17, 2008 at 10:56 AM
perfect!
silenced majority on January 17, 2008 at 10:57 AM
That was painful to watch.
p0s3r on January 17, 2008 at 11:00 AM
“Fascist One” is the correct name for this airline.
jp on January 17, 2008 at 11:01 AM
I couldn’t even watch all the way through.
Bigfoot on January 17, 2008 at 11:01 AM
Hillary needs a Michael Dukakis moment.
csdeven on January 17, 2008 at 11:02 AM
It’s like throwing up in your mouth and swallowing.
CABE on January 17, 2008 at 11:02 AM
Oh come on. I liked it.
Baphomet on January 17, 2008 at 11:05 AM
Nicely done. How long did she rehearse that?
amkun on January 17, 2008 at 11:07 AM
Well, she is the most experienced candidate. Spiral landings and all, you know.
fourstringfuror on January 17, 2008 at 11:08 AM
And it’s a safe bet that she’s not a member of the mile-high club…Oh the horror…
RMCS_USN on January 17, 2008 at 11:09 AM
Yes. And those tax cuts saved us from an impending recession, left by BJ and the aftermath of 9/11, to keep us at 5% unemployment. 5%, folks……That’s even with outsourcing and illegals!
And the war…..Hillary, you should be thankful that we have not been attacked since that disastrous day in 2001. Obviously, you’re a political panderer that solely has the dream of instituting the worker’s paradise that an elitist, like yourself, wants to see for us, the Proliteriat. The mighty must provide for the commoners to subjugate them so the mighty will never lose power. Hence your (and your Marxist comrades) view of the Fairness Doctrine. That is the antithesis of freedom. I am getting close yet? OK. In your view, it’s better to stop facing radical jihadists that vow to institute shari’a across the globe in order to increase our standing in the global community (let’s make nice, in essence). Shari’a, Hillary. Did you not study comparative religions or theology in college? Oh that’s right. Your religion is liberalism. Under the demented view of Islam that the jihadists hold, your role, and the role of all women, is to be submissive. Yes, submissive. Even to BJ. Do you think your going to be able to negotiate with our enemies that already hold you in disdain because you have an extra X chromosome?
You and Barack, the so-called “historic candidates”, don’t fool us. You’re not funny…..and your not what this great beacon of liberty and freedom needs.
Please stop.
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on January 17, 2008 at 11:10 AM
A strong middle class?
They really do see the world backwards, don’t they?
Tony737 on January 17, 2008 at 11:13 AM
Not to be a spelling nazi but you misspelled ‘Hell’…..
CrazyFool on January 17, 2008 at 11:14 AM
Figures…my seat doesn’t have a barf bag…
JetBoy on January 17, 2008 at 11:15 AM
The Troops in Afghanistan (or was it Iraq?) named her plane “Broomstick One”. Bwahahaha
Tony737 on January 17, 2008 at 11:16 AM
Excellent.
amkun on January 17, 2008 at 11:17 AM
I give her credit for being able to read cue cards. Another fiberglass/papermache attempt to humanize HClinton.
It might have worked if it had only been a line or two, and then hanging up the phone with a laugh. But an entire two paragraphs? She’s trying too hard, and, as always, overplays her hand.
A ‘real Hillary moment’ which might win the election for her?
A five minute cussing out of Bill. Youtube that.
Doug on January 17, 2008 at 11:20 AM
I am surprised that Hillary did not claim that she survived a corkscrew landing. Maybe this time she will say she is on a secret mission to Yucca Flats and she brought Richard Dreyfus along to study the aliens.
Larraby on January 17, 2008 at 11:23 AM
What in the heck was that? Simply pathetic.
Is that what passes as friendly banter with the press forced to endure covering the Clinton campaign? Isn’t making everybody remove their shoes and coats enough harassment without the auditory assault before the plane even leaves the ground?
Senator Clinton shouldn’t give up her day job or, at least, make sure everybody has fully consumed their 5 drink minimum before she goes into her standup routine.
highhopes on January 17, 2008 at 11:23 AM
Real energetic approval at the end! I guess it gets hard for her campaign workers to be happy.
indianaconservative on January 17, 2008 at 11:25 AM
Funny how her started suffering when the writer strike started. Hmmmmm…..
indianaconservative on January 17, 2008 at 11:27 AM
her=her campaign (sorry)
indianaconservative on January 17, 2008 at 11:28 AM
How can Hil’s America have a strong reputation in the world when Reid-Pelosi-Dean-Clinton-Obama-Kucinich-Kennedy et al have done nothing but denigrate the efforts of America around the globe in the last eight years? I thought they had their “It’s all better, we’re here now” moment after the ’06 election? As Ricky Ricardo used to say, “Wha’ HOPPen?”
Captain Scarlet on January 17, 2008 at 11:29 AM
“Welcome to Hil-Air….the cabin is pressurized, and in the event of sudden loss of pressure, the flight crew will increase pressure until it is again at an acceptable level (for a Clinton)
JetBoy on January 17, 2008 at 11:33 AM
Hillary: The Most Ridiculous Candidate
Even her humour is pre-scripted and printed out for her in a 20 point font.
I wonder — does she have a few pages already scripted up, complete with pauses for laughter, to deal with the Iranian problem after assuming office?
notta_dhimmi on January 17, 2008 at 11:37 AM
I think it’s cute. Really. Kind of like the Southwest Airlines crews.
I like it better than the Obama/Reagan thing anyway.
funky chicken on January 17, 2008 at 11:38 AM
Oops! Proliteriat = Proleteriat
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on January 17, 2008 at 11:46 AM
can’t type..bile in throat.
GREENTURTLE on January 17, 2008 at 11:49 AM
“This plane has been hijacked and only has a left wing.”
ricer1 on January 17, 2008 at 11:51 AM
If you look off to the right, you’ll see a war that’s making progress and one that we are winning, but I’m telling you it’s a never ending war, because that’s what you want to hear. If you look off to the left, you’ll see deployments up 400% and our troops sent off on peacekeeping missions with us pulling out as soon as one of our troops twists his ankle while getting off the plane. That’s how we restore credibility, komrades.
conservativejack on January 17, 2008 at 11:52 AM
A left and right America?
.
Tell me again which party intentially divides?
.
Someone tell Hillary it isn’t a right and left America she sees from 32,000 ft. That’s Mexico on the left!
.
ding.
.
bat.
subbottomfeeder on January 17, 2008 at 11:52 AM
(Truth in advertising.. you know.)
ricer1 on January 17, 2008 at 11:52 AM
Somebody hand me a surface-to-air missile….enemy plane approaching.
Shirotayama on January 17, 2008 at 11:53 AM
THAT explains those UFO sightings in Texas…
thebookkeeper on January 17, 2008 at 12:11 PM
Where is she flying over, Lollipop Land?
The tax cuts work to build a stronger economy and the war is won.
Where did this country go wrong when someone like this can be elected for anything?
Hening on January 17, 2008 at 12:16 PM
Wow. Totally wooden performance. I almost felt sorry for her.
MikeZero on January 17, 2008 at 12:41 PM
I suppose Bill’s in the lavatory going for the Mile-High club.
Kini on January 17, 2008 at 12:49 PM
I’m willing to bet the citizens of NY State would disagree with you. But for the good of the country, NYS should take one for the team – and take the great bitch back. Cuz this country doesn’t need her and I hope, doesn’t want her.
(Yea, first time comment!)
KrisinNE on January 17, 2008 at 1:27 PM
If you look out from the left you’ll see the world through the lens of CNN’s “Situation Room” who, with clowns like Blitzer and Cafferty, aid and abett the enemy daily. Enjoy your flight.
Travis1 on January 17, 2008 at 1:32 PM
Actually, to quote a little Reagan here,
HilAir Flight 001 with non-stop service to Marxism, Socialism, and Totalitarianism will be descending…….
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on January 17, 2008 at 1:43 PM
I read the whole thing and am so glad I wasn`t there to hear it. It seems like one of those situations where I`d just zone out and wait til it`s over.
ThePrez on January 17, 2008 at 3:27 PM
The arrogance is amazing.
Mommynator on January 17, 2008 at 3:29 PM
And ironically, Bill is a record holding member of that club.
Now that pretty much sums up everything about her.
deepdiver on January 17, 2008 at 9:02 PM
You know, every single time the Clinton’s even attempt something that would even come close to being considered cute or comedic, it always winds up with one or both of them falling flat on their kissers. This is a prime example.
pilamaye on January 18, 2008 at 7:05 AM
She’d fly Air Force 1 into the ground, just like she’s doing to the national political process. What a waste-AF1 is a beautiful thing to see.
