Video: Hillary puts the media in their place

“They didn’t actually have to eat in there, did they?” My friends, they did. Why didn’t she dump them in the ladies’ room, you ask? Just a hunch, but I’m guessing she wanted them to enjoy the full “open urinals reeking in your face” experience.

It’s so childish, so vindictive, so … Hillary. I don’t mind telling you, I’m kind of rooting for her tonight. Exit question: How big is that men’s room, anyway? Good lord.

Update: Anyone catch the music in the background? Double awesome.

I want to believe. This is quite, quite awesome.

I’m feeling a tinge of warmth for Mother Hillary right now. I’m sure it’ll pass.

LimeyGeek on March 4, 2008 at 1:04 PM

My day is now made

Grafted on March 4, 2008 at 1:04 PM

Ahahahahahahaahaha. Oh Hillary. I can see her in the Oval Office now, with her crown and waving her scepter, handing out decrees and ordering people whipped in the public square…can’t wait!

mattyj86 on March 4, 2008 at 1:04 PM

They’ll get her back if she wins either Texas or Ohio by only a few points with some wonderfully scathing coverage. Like Mark Twain said, “never pick a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel.”

Still, pretty funny.

Slublog on March 4, 2008 at 1:06 PM

From the linked article, a comment

One of our reporters had to use the urinal while denise was in there and said it was very awkward.

I am laughing so hard my chest stings

LimeyGeek on March 4, 2008 at 1:06 PM

Was it my imagination, or did I just see Bubba come out of a stall with an issue of “Barely Legal”.

Chuck Schick on March 4, 2008 at 1:06 PM

If hc is elected, that is where she will put the military personal that is assigned to the wh after they serve lunch to her.

Hey you over there in stall No. 1! Courtesy flush please! Please, courtesy flush! I’m on deadline dammit…

Travis1 on March 4, 2008 at 1:07 PM

Bwahahahahaha!

Just a hunch, but I’m guessing she wanted them to enjoy the full “open urinals reeking in your face” experience.

Probably.

amerpundit on March 4, 2008 at 1:07 PM

HaHa…that’s great. Allah you’re right, only Hillary would do something like that.

Exit question: Do you think the Hillary campagin gave out complementary urinal cakes to everyone?

Lance Murdock on March 4, 2008 at 1:07 PM

As I said elsewhere when I first saw this…

How… apropriate…

Romeo13 on March 4, 2008 at 1:09 PM

Smells like victory…

Seriously, it must have been awkward when someone had to drop a deuce.

noodle on March 4, 2008 at 1:10 PM

I wonder if they turned off the urinals? Or were they continually flushing as people constantly walked by the ‘magic eye’?

One air biscuit and that would be an unlivable working environment.

Poetry.

LimeyGeek on March 4, 2008 at 1:10 PM

But a Clinton spokesman Doug Hattaway said: “These accommodations should in no way be taken as a comment on the quality of our media coverage.”

Could’ve won over more voters by saying, “These accommodations should be taken as a comment on the quality of our media coverage.”

amerpundit on March 4, 2008 at 1:10 PM

She should’ve banished them to the women’s restroom, then dropped a stinker on them.

SouthernGent on March 4, 2008 at 1:10 PM

WOW … that rest room is HUGE.

American Girl by Tom Petty in the background is Classic!

upinak on March 4, 2008 at 1:12 PM

The whole “it’s a movement” joke has actually become reality.
Oh, and Travis1, big kudos on the “courtesy flush”!!!!

bbz123 on March 4, 2008 at 1:14 PM

Update: Anyone catch the music in the background, by the way? Double awesome.

I tried my best, but couldn’t make it out.

LimeyGeek on March 4, 2008 at 1:14 PM

I hope they served Chili Cheese Burgers at the local Greasy Spoon for lunch…….. “OK people, time to get back to work!”

Since Tex-Mex food is big…in Texas, watch out for those bean burrito eaters.

Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!

That’s just gas and it will pass.

mustng66 on March 4, 2008 at 1:17 PM

To top of this video is if someone brought in the magical Bean Burrito fart candle.

Lance Murdock on March 4, 2008 at 1:18 PM

Could I actually be starting to warm up to Hillary? Is it possible? What can I say, I have a soft spot for strong women who don’t fear being blunt and wielding power… I blame my Mother.

TheBigOldDog on March 4, 2008 at 1:19 PM

PS – I admire the Democrats’ willingness to go to the mattresses in an apologetic fashion. I respect the courage of it.

TheBigOldDog on March 4, 2008 at 1:21 PM

Um, that’s unapologetic…

TheBigOldDog on March 4, 2008 at 1:22 PM

On the plus side, it’s the nicest thing anyone’s had to endure in a bathroom from a Clinton in the past thirty years.

I wonder if she’d be willing to turn CBS into one giant men’s room. I mean, architecturally. It wouldn’t be fair to give her credit for their own achievement.

emailnuevo on March 4, 2008 at 1:24 PM

Any of you Texans heard this radio ad?

“If there is an Arab-American family being rounded up without benefit of an attorney, it threatens my civil liberties. It is that fundamental belief, I am my brother’s keeper, I am my sister’s keeper, it is that fundamental belief that makes this country work.”
– Senator Barack Obama

In a televised twelve-second campaign spot aired in Texas, Senator Obama gives a stirring speech to a standing ovation. It is the predictable litany of American faults he will miraculously correct: literacy, expensive prescription drugs and insufficient civil liberties. However, he seems particularly concerned for Arab-Americans. “If there is an Arab American family being rounded up without benefit of an attorney, it threatens my civil liberties.”

This was an astonishing statement, an infuriating statement and a statement that speaks volumes to Obama’s ideology.

I know Limbaugh reads American Thinker. I wonder if this will make his stack of stuff today?

funky chicken on March 4, 2008 at 1:29 PM

I think this might be the wrong video. I believe this one is showing the press getting set up for the Larry Craig interview.

repvoter on March 4, 2008 at 1:30 PM

I’m warming to Hillary, the outright blatant effing with Barry and now this, I’m feeling a certain admiration for her and her devious mind.

benrand on March 4, 2008 at 1:35 PM

LOL @ the vid & repvoter

trailortrash on March 4, 2008 at 1:35 PM

I just hope all the sane republicans don’t cross over for Hillary and give TX to the Huckster.

funky chicken on March 4, 2008 at 1:36 PM

Where else would you expect to find urinalists? After all, these people wouldn’t know journalism if it walked up and peed on their legs.

Hey Bruce @ KFYI in Phoenix, I imagine this is what an editorial meeting at the RAG looks like. Hope you don’t mind me using your term ‘urinalist’, btw.

Brass Pair on March 4, 2008 at 1:42 PM

GO HILLARY!!!!!

*You won’t catch me saying that often!*

:D

funky chicken on March 4, 2008 at 1:29 PM

No, I haven’t heard this, probably because I listen to the conservative radio stations. However, my dear friend listens to the tejano stations because she is Hispanic and came into my office yesterday to tell me how alarmed she is at what she is hearing on the Spanish speaking stations. Apparently, it’s Obamamania 24/7 for the last week. She is conservative as well, and cannot believe the promises Obama is making to the Hispanic community. She is disturbed by what she is hearing in her extended family and community. She says everyone is voting Obama without any particular reason, they just are. These are LEGAL immigrants, and they too are being swept off their feet by the messiah. Scary stuff.

Hitlery’s punishment of the MSM for fawning all over Bambi?

Shirotayama on March 4, 2008 at 1:49 PM

If she wins the nomination she will pay for treating John McCain’s base this way.

rockmom on March 4, 2008 at 1:54 PM

Was that designated a “no crunching” zone?

LimeyGeek on March 4, 2008 at 1:04 PM

It probably did pass, check your pants.

Sorry, couldn’t resist – had to keep with the theme of the thread…

Rick on March 4, 2008 at 2:08 PM

Exit question: How big is that men’s room, anyway? Good lord.

Big is a Texas thing I hear, but it looks like some kind of urinal museum. What a perfect place to test trans-gendered bathroom rights!

Buy Danish on March 4, 2008 at 2:11 PM

Looks like they’ve returned to the womb.

MadisonConservative on March 4, 2008 at 2:11 PM

Question is, would being there give Chris Matthews a tingle up his leg?

…on second thought, better not to answer that…
(and sorry I asked)

Shirotayama on March 4, 2008 at 2:16 PM

I don’t mind telling you, I’m kind of rooting for her tonight.

I am too. I’m not able to vote today because I’m registered in another city, but I’d much rather see a general election against her. Even if she wins it will be much more enjoyable than a general election against Obama.

I tried my best, but couldn’t make it out.

Is this a metaphor of her campaign, that is it going down the toilet?

Cuffy Meigs on March 4, 2008 at 2:36 PM

That’s my girl. This kind of stuff proves she’d be a better commander in chief than bambi. Yeah, men can be brutal, but we all know what one pissed off woman can do to a man’s life. If we had to get stuck with a democrat I’d rather it be her than that timid little empty suit.

bojack on March 4, 2008 at 2:37 PM

Hopefully, they were instructed to not eat the big mints.

Oh how I wish I had to head in there after a night of whoring about 20 white castle sliders.

wildweasel on March 4, 2008 at 2:49 PM

If someone were tapping their foot to the Petty song, would they get busted?

BacaDog on March 4, 2008 at 2:51 PM

Embarrassing. Does anyone in this cracker jack operation have any pride in their work? Doesn’t look like it. If ANY, and I mean ANY candidate asked me to set up shop in the head, I would tell her or he to F Off. Show some pride in yourself for crying out loud!

THE CHOSEN ONE on March 4, 2008 at 2:52 PM

Don’t you just hope that someone in there takes care of business and it holds together like a thunder storm! The little dweebs gag as they type. LOL!!

Big Orange on March 4, 2008 at 2:53 PM

tee hee good one AP!!

THE CHOSEN ONE on March 4, 2008 at 2:52 PM

Pride? The media? Surley you jest!
I just got a tingle up my funny bone.

shibumiglass on March 4, 2008 at 2:57 PM

I don’t want to steal anyone’s joy at seeing the press mistreated that way, but did nobody else see the chalkboard on the wall? Given the screen cap of “Austin Texas” at the beginning of the clip, I’m betting this is the Longhorns locker room. That would account for the massiveness of the restroom. But why set up the workstations right next to the urinals?

samuelrylander on March 4, 2008 at 3:04 PM

I guess the lack of comments following mine suggests that all joy has, in fact, been stolen.

samuelrylander on March 4, 2008 at 3:26 PM

yep, it’s gone for good. :-(

Man. That’s hard on the ego.

samuelrylander on March 4, 2008 at 3:42 PM

I’m going to agree w/ “upinak” above. I call BS on this, something is fishy.

Come’on, a bathroom that has enough room to have 3×6 tables 2 abreast w/ walking space on either side. That bathroom must of been 20′ across.

Where were they, a sports arena that wasn’t being used, a locker room that wasn’t finished yet?

Scott_T on March 4, 2008 at 3:48 PM

Exit question: How big is that men’s room, anyway?

You really show the fact that you’re a New Yorker with that one, AP. Did you read the LA Times post? It’s in Austin. And EVERYTHING (including men’s rooms) is bigger in Texas.

, the bathroom did have Wi-Fi,

Phew!

malan89 on March 4, 2008 at 3:57 PM

I forget which netwaork said it, but they reported that this was a lockeroom. Thats why it was so big.

I dont think even Hillary would go so low as make them work in a bathroom. This way, she gets the same effect as putting them in a bathroom while still being able to say its a lockeroom

AverageJoe on March 4, 2008 at 4:11 PM

“Network” and “Locker room”. (Have to learn how to spell)

AverageJoe on March 4, 2008 at 4:13 PM

Sitting in the classroom
Thinking it’s a drag
Listening to the teacher
Well, just ain’t my bag
Noon bells ring
You know that’s my cue
I’m gonna meet the boys
On floor number two

Smoking in the boy’s room
Smoking in the boy’s room
Now, teacher don’t you fill me
Up with your rules
Everybody knows that
Smoking ain’t allowed in school

Checking out the halls
Making sure the coast is clear
Looking in the stalls
No, there ain’t nobody here
My buddy Fang, and me and Paul
To get caught would surely
Be the death of us all

Smoking in the boy’s room, yeah
Smoking in the boy’s room
Now, teacher don’t you fill me
Up with your rules
Everybody knows that
Smoking ain’t allowed in school
All right

I’m getting a strong whiff of just how Universal Hillarycare will look.

I’m sure that being the press that in the course of their work duties they went through a large number of paper gaskets.

How big is that men’s room, anyway?

Yeah!? Where’s the guy to hand you a towel to dry your hands and give you a mint? Where’s the flowers and comfort couch? Where’s the toe-tapping stalls?

What kind of a men’s room is this anyway?

Kini on March 4, 2008 at 5:57 PM

Heh, funny comment from the article:

That’s disgusting. How can anyone be expected to use a bathroom that’s defiled with political reporters?

mesablue on March 4, 2008 at 6:57 PM

Oval office = Oval porcelain.

MsUnderestimated on March 4, 2008 at 7:53 PM

Suddenly I see the movies that can be made to honor Herself. And in the context of this topic I can see: “Thighs Wide Shut” a hagography from BJ’s pov; (it’s only a double X, so the pre-adolescents can watch). “Thighs, Wide Butt” would be from the perspective of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy…
I’m sure there are many more that are blossoming forth from fertile imaginations; I’ve just reached my saturation point.
Putting the press in the men’s john is a good place to take a break…

Christine on March 4, 2008 at 8:08 PM

I can’t even comment, I’m just laughing too hard at the stuff you kidz are coming up with!!! Thank you all!!! It’s been a very fun evening!

Vntnrse on March 4, 2008 at 10:49 PM

But then came sighs of relief that despite the unsavory circumstances, the bathroom did have Wi-Fi,

Whew, I bet!
