>>Oh, good lord, she was not facing disorder. The hostage-taking was over, and even when it was going on, she was not facing it. She was waiting for law enforcement authorities to deal with a troubled man, which they did, without anyone suffering a physical injury.
Yup
Clinton impresses with handling of hostage drama
Reuters (on Yahoo)
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton was impressive in the cool way she handled the drama of a man seizing hostages at one of her campaign offices, some voters and analysts said on Saturday. --snip-- --
Well,, DUhhhh..
That’s the paragraph that jumped out at me too.
This ABC News story is another typical Clinton one note tune for the cameras - “Me Me Me Me”.

I’ve thought a lot in recent days about the countless opportunities President Bush, and others, have had to play out certain events before the cameras to curry public favor for themselves. Yet, their sense of decency led them to do the right thing rather than the expedient.
Sometimes journalists have discovered President Bush’s participation in such an event, and reported what they could learn about it, e.g., meeting with loved ones after 9/11/01, and families of our fallen military folks. But, it hasn’t been because he sought the publicity, and often just the opposite.
Two words always seem to make their way into my thoughts regarding the Clintons - crass expediency.
