Diane Sawyer Gushes Over Hillary's Purple Glasses: 'Nobody Does Unplugged Quite Like' Her
World News anchor Diane Sawyer has a habit of showcasing fawning, deeply irrelevant stories on prominent Democrats. She continued this pattern on Thursday, informing viewers that Hillary Clinton wore flamboyant, purple glasses at a recent ceremony. Sawyer hyped that this was "proof that nobody does unplugged quite like the Secretary of State."
The host insisted that the over-the-top glasses highlight Clinton's "master class in letting your hair down." Sawyer recapped, "These past few months, we've been watching her swig a beer, brandish a scrunchy without apology and makeup-free and telling everybody she doesn't care what they think." What didn't World News find time for on Thursday? The Fast and Furious scandal. After actually covering the controversy on Wednesday, Sawyer went back to ignoring it. [See video below. MP3 audio here.]
On May 2, 2012, the host hyped "steamy" details from an early ex-girlfriend of Barack Obama. She even quoted from a halting, disjointed love letter that the future president wrote at age 22: "Moments trip gently along over here. Snow caps the bushes in unexpected ways. Birds shoot and spin like balls of sound. My feet hum over the dry walks."
A transcript of the June 21 segment, which aired a 6:50pm EDT, follows:
DIANE SAWYER: And now to the ongoing master class in letting your hair down by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. These past few months, we've been watching her swig a beer, brandish a scrunchy without apology and makeup free and telling everybody she doesn't care what they think. And today, donning wing-tipped purple glasses at the swearing in of a new assistant secretary whose favorite color just happens to be purple. Proof that nobody does unplugged quite like the Secretary of State, who is leaving office by the end of the year.

Except maybe Harry Smith, who is even breathier and more unctuous.
Good point

Sawyer has never acknowledged a difference between the morning gab shows and evening news. It's not all her fault, though; the news producers don't either. That's why they've elevated the likes of Couric and Sawyer into anchor positions, only to see their sinking ratings continue to dive for the deck.
Whenever I have the misfortune of catching Sawyer reading the news, I get the feeling she's talking to pre-school children.
Oh yes

Occasionally, I call her Diane "Romper Room" Sawyer.

Sawyer has taken on the affectations of a teenage girl. Her hair and makeup are inappropriate for a woman over 65. Perhaps she yearns for the glory days when she was Americas Junior Miss in 1963.
Love is in the air

Well you know she's getting up there in years where couples sometimes begin to let go of their longstanding conflicts and enter a more peaceful Golden Age of their marriage.
Hillary is just letting go of pretenses and is going back to that simple gal 'ol Bill fell in love with. She's probably hoping Bill notices her new look and shows up in a beat up pick-up truck with Arkansas plates and whisks her off of her feet and into the nearest burger joint.
She can fantasize all day, MA. Ain't gonna happen.

As the MSM says, "nobody does unplugged quite like Hillary."
As Bubba says, "Nobody does plugged in quite like Monika or some porn queens!"

will gush over anything that is not news worthy. These lib/female gushers are extremely boring and have no clue about what folks want the news to be.
Keeping count...

...jeez, I think I lost count how many times Diane went full-orgasm during her slobbering, sophomoric love letter to/about Shrillary.
Poor lil' Justin B must be jealous having lost another fainting adolescent fan...

Perhaps Hillary wants to use the insanity defense to explain why she worked in the obama administration.
Dueling Face Contortions
Submitted by James Youngblood on Fri, 06/22/2012 - 3:08pm.
While Diane Sawyer loves to fawn over her liberal idols, have you noticed how she contorts her face, almost as if in agony, when she interviews a conservative. She acts like she just can't believe what they are saying. How would you like to see a conversation between Diane Sawyer and Charley Rose (another liberal face contortionist) discussing Ronald Reagan or the right to bear arms? That would be excruciatingly painful to see.

Hillary's Hilarious Stroke Victim Impersonation
Submitted by HollyW on Fri, 06/22/2012 - 4:09pm.
Hillary Clinton has been letting her hair down quite often these days and she's making lots of friends doing it. According to report in the Daily Rash, Secretary Clinton did an impromptu performance of her infamous stroke victim impersonation at a U.N. conference much to the amusement of her fellow delegates. http://www.thedailyrash.com/hillary-clinton-does-hilarious-stroke-victim...
Keeping it classy

I thought that the swearing in a person to higher office was a serious matter. I guess if a person is flippant about supporting and defending the constitution it's just a silly ritual that doesn't mean anything.
Sorry, but

that picture made me think of Roseanne Barr.
Same here

That connection flashed through my mind right away. Then I thought, "Nah. Too classy for her."
Unplugged?
Submitted by bobsmom on Fri, 06/22/2012 - 9:36pm.
More like untethered from reality. Hillary Clinton is probably the antithesis of cool, sorry.
Hillary is a drunk....

She's been drunk or hungover since Obamalinsky stole her thunder. I haven't seen that old Butch sober since.....
I thought that being the SOS was a hard, time-consuming, job?
Submitted by OhioHistorian on Sat, 06/23/2012 - 10:31am.
If it is such a hard, time-consuming job, how did Hillary find time to go shop for purple glasses? Or to change hair-dos, or any of the other thousand things that Diane Sawyer gushes about? I thought the excuse last week was that she doesn't have time to do her hair or to dress up?
Thanks to her and her boss, the Middle East is in tatters, relations with Israel stink, and Afghanistan just celebrated its 2000th death (more in 3-1/2 years than GWB in six for those who are counting in the media or on the left).
But, hey, the cookie-baker-in-Chief was and is well-qualified to be President.

"Nobody does unplugged quite like the Secretary of State"?
Any word yet from Lady GaGa? What about Madonna? How dare Hillary steal their thunder.
