Don't look for ABC's Cokie Roberts to turn up anytime soon on that comfy couch featured in Hillary's announcement video, enjoying one of those cozy "conversations" Clinton claims to want.
Appearing on This Week today, Roberts left little doubt that she views Hillary as a seriously flawed candidate - if not person. Roberts began by damning Hillary with faint praise:
"I think she's got a lot of great attributes: she's a very disciplined candidate, she's very smart, she can raise more money than God, she has a terrific staff, she's been through a presidential campaign or two and knows how rough it is, which is really important as everyone at this table knows. And I think that all works for her."
Roberts than inserted the shiv: "What works against her is that issue of anger. And not just anger, sort of coldness."
View video here.
When host George Stephanopoulos pointed out that the warm 'n fuzzy video announcemnent video sought to address Hillary's frosty image, Cokie countered:
"Saturday Night Live last night just nailed it, and this is going to be the problem she has. It was a fake Chris Matthews show with Darryl Hammond, and the Hillary person is saying all these sweet and lovely things, and
then they ask about Obama and she goes off, and it's bleeped, and I think that's going to be the image that's out there."
Ouch!

January 21, 2007 - 12:08 ET by BlondeMark,
I wish you'd put up the SNL video take off of Shrill Hil. If this makes it to the news...it will be indelibly printed in the voters' minds. Just like the rude (and totally on the mark) satirizations they did of Al Gore. "Luooock Buoox"
Hopefully, with equally devastating effects.
Oh, and you can bet that Cokie isn't going to be invited to sit on Her Highness' sofa any time soon....Cokie's laughter at the skit Hillary "going off and getting bleeped" is certain to stick in Hillary's craw for a long time to come....maybe forever.

It's a stark reminder that's it's almost impossible to not expose liberal media bias.

January 21, 2007 - 13:06 ET by motherbeltAbsolutely dead on. Ms. Clinton didn't earn the nickname "Shrillary" by accident. All the men who are candidates made their announcements from positions of strength, speaking with conviction. Hillary just looked like she was always trying to talk and smile at the same time. Very congenial and kaffee-klatsch-ish. Why is that, do you suppose?
My favorite bit is the one where during a speech she was yelling, no, shrieking, that as Americans we have the RIGHT to disagree with ANY administration (except her husband's or hers, I assume). That was really her, not a parody, and is the one I wish someone would post. Rush drags out the audio from time to time, and it's hilarious, in that it is SO revealing, and SO Hillary.
Moonbat on the stage
January 22, 2007 - 00:44 ET by SportPoliticsIf they can scream a thousand times to a fawning audience that they have been silenced in between the dozens of literally spewed ten-thousand times Bush bashes and criticisms, maybe a dead fruitfly laying in the rotting carcass of an african wildebeast will agree. Until then, all the democrats, in true moonbat form, agree.
It is utterly amazing. Cuffing the melon should be brought back.
It brings to mind something I quite enjoy when I watch " Prime Minister's Minutes ." Our British friends seem have a much more active and allowable BS detector, the loud rousing hoots rise up immediately when someone talking lays out a huge fabrication.

January 22, 2007 - 01:03 ET by bigtimerOh I love it too Sports....
I wish we had that here at times, then again when I think about it, with the leftists the way they are we may as well forget it...the RINO's are too weak-kneed to hoot back at the outrageous lies...as they show here...instead they say my right honourable friend as we have from learned from them with my good friend as they say in the Senate here but they refuse to call them the liars they are like the English do....maybe if they just had guts and practice without worrying about PC and the scorn from the networks and trudge on...how in the heck do they think the left has gotten away with it for over the fourty years I have been paying attention to the news media.

At least Bill O'Reilly does it. " Oh come on! " ( As he leans forward in their face half smiling ) " You've got to be kidding, are you serious ? "
I really appreciate that from him.

January 21, 2007 - 14:18 ET by JDWShe was on last week with Greta also, I am sure the link is available.
I only watched part of it, was only interested in watching part of it, sen Clinton made fools of our troops. She claimed those flying her and her brigade were willing to overlook very dangerous circumstances for beers simply to land and permit them the opportunity to attend their meetings. She insisted as well the military people had no idea what their plan of action is. She slammed the safety provided to our volunteers by harping on 'the highway of death'.
Cokie does not describe someone who is cognisant of anything other than personal destruction and self gain, there is no history of positive foundation from which to build.

"What works against her
January 21, 2007 - 13:34 ET by Republic1"What works against her is that issue of anger."
With the help of the alternative media, maybe another issue that will work against her is that she's largely a closeted socialist who will try to appear more moderate in order to get elected.

Yes Hillary is a socialist
January 22, 2007 - 00:58 ET by SportPoliticsYes Hillary is a socialist, communist, marxist, liar.
She's a Cindy Sheehan type. I know because of that onstage rising voice, to the brink of and into yelling, that you always see at all the left wing kookball "movements". She endorsed free national healthcare at her fake room prez run announcement the other day.
That yelling thing on stage must be draining. They know deep inside that noone really should be listening to their insane drivel, and besides that, the vast machine of power they are combatting in their own mind drowns them out, so they must yell to be heard, and share their populist anger. It's ridiculous when they have the microphone hooked to the loudspeakers, and the audience starts 3 feet in front of them.
Maybe they're fantasizing it's the 1800's and it's outreaching in an open mud street thoroughfare. Maybe they're just a slightly higher form of the loons like Alex Jones and the one who interviewed Bonaducci the other day, and got booted from the Campus with his megaphone in hand, straddled atop the giant stone animal.

January 21, 2007 - 15:00 ET by bigtimerI saw that SNL segment this morning on msnbc with Alex Witt, it was hilarious...and true!
Shrillary is gonna need a miracle and she isn't gonna get granted one....
I have spoken.
(That's meant as funny to those of you with no sense of humor!)
Btw...if her poll numbers stay low it is going to be interesting to see if she decides to stay in the Senate and continue to run it if possible whether than be defeated, something she will not be able to accept...hehehee)

Somebody needs to ask Shrilla
January 21, 2007 - 16:36 ET by errant1Somebody needs to ask Shrillary in an interview: why are you angry almost all the time? Why have you worked so long and hard to be "the poster child" for angry, white females? OK, I mean angry, white, lesbian females!
/the whole world knows the evil woman lacks the temperament and disposition to ever be any sort of effective leader; she simply doesn't have what it takes. However, she is trusting that a well-financed campaign war chest will work the magic. That and lots and lots of propaganda.

BT, Each registered NB member
January 21, 2007 - 18:55 ET by BlondeBT,
Each registered NB member can set his/her own settings...to allow/disallow personal messages. So most likely, errant had his/her settings for this turned to the "off" mode. Perhaps the default return is "user doesn't exist". The other thing may be that you're not typing the name correctly. Try clicking on the user name in a post, and then "send private message"....at least that way you know it's been typed correctly. Computers can be a tad picky that way. Hope this helps.
I didn't quite understand Mark's post either, but then again, I've been known to post on the wrong thread. Hmmm...
Hope you're having a good football Sunday.

Bal---Hillary
January 21, 2007 - 18:56 ET by misterbillMine is an old memory--but--at some time in the past--during President Clinton's misbehavior in the White House, there were some rumors, stories,what have you, circulating that President Clinton was not the only Clinton who liked women. Please do not pounce on me, I am only the messenger.
Also, I stand by this, Hillary IS better looking than the late Betty Friedan and has a slight edge on Helen Thomas.
