SIOUX CITY, Iowa — Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton responded to allegations Sunday that her presidential campaign had planted questions during public appearances.

At a media event in Waterloo, Iowa, Clinton responded to a reporter's question about two separate incidents, one that occurred this week at a biodiesel plant in Newton, and the other in April on a farm outside Fort Madison, both in Iowa.

"Well it was news to me" Clinton said. "And neither I nor my campaign approve of that. And it will certainly not be tolerated."

The reporter went on to ask if she knew of other incidents beyond those reported.

Clinton responded saying, "You know everything I know."

Come on. How could the Witch not know that her operatives were planting questions, since the only way a planted question could work would be if she knew who the questioner was and what the question would be???

In any case, her campaign's keeping the issue alive through another news cycle. Takes brains. If only all the nation's enemies were this dang dim.

I hope the reporter doesn't get a huge ego -- apparently he's as smart as the smartest woman in the world.

Once again, she did NOT give an answer.

Oh PLEASE. This is more of her “I didn’t do it and I’ll never do it again” routine. Only she will, if she thinks she can do it more secretively and get away with it. She’ll plant the people next time, not the questions.

Let’s just hope her staff doesn’t lose their heads over this.

The Clintons lie so often, you have to assume they are lying in order to know what the truth is. Planted questions - “I know nothing about that...” translation “Of course, but what’s the big deal anyway???”

I firmly believe that even the most cynical Hillary critics amongst us would be shocked if they knew what was really going on behind the scenes at Clinton Central....

Even democrats don’t believe her when she is asked direct questions, they just hope that she performs well. I remember when she said that she would not run for president and her fans in the press sat around trying to translate that into a date that she would announce her run.

I see. Kind of a modern version of “The Harder They Fall”.

Hillary once again pointing out that she just has No IDEA how something shameful and suspicious happened under her command. Imagine four years of “I have no idea!” every time something bad happens?

“We’re at war? I had no idea!”

“Bill was seen with a floozy or muscling a respectable woman? I had no idea!”

“My health Care plan costs too much as doesn’t work? I had no idea!”

I’m losing this election? I had no idea!”

So how do we know THIS questioner wasn't a plant, as well...? ;)

Riiiiiiiiiiiight... just like Norman Hsu was news, and the Peter Paul case, and Vince Foster's death.

Hillary! is the biggest POS liar alive today.

Question: Mrs. Clinton... When you ask for questions from the crowd, do you call on people indicated to you by staffers and campaign workers, or do you pick the questioners yourself?

Simple yes or no question. We could clear this whole thing up right here.
