Sabato and AP are making fools of themselves over Hillary's performance yesterday.

I think Hitlery was actually sporting a chubbie during her reign over the media post event lovefest...

I thought John Edwards also did an admirable job facing this crisis. I think he canceled something and closed some campaign offices.

As always, Clarice Feldman nailed it and you’re correct about the others making fools of themselves.

Let's not forget that these are the same liberals who convinced themselves that the way to win the 2004 election was to support a decorated veteran of an unpopular war who had no executive experience at all. They also considered him a war hero, and were surprised when some people said that he wasn't much of a hero, after all.

This is part of the reason why the three top candidates for the Democrat nomination are all Senators, with no practical executive leadership experience to speak of; Democrats hate people who actually accomplish things, and take responsibility for their actions.

I guess we will learn sometime later that Chelsea was jogging in the area at the time!

[REDWOOD99]

Even the BDS-blinded moonbats can see through this lame MSM effort to foist the beast on us.

[MNJohnnie]

Yeah they really are. But Sabato and AP have a very long history of being in the tank for the DNC. Expect to see a lot of this sort of Campaign propaganda claiming to be “analysis” for the next year.

i would not be surprised to learn someday that CCN staged this entire hostage situation for Hillary... and it woudn't surprise me if they admitted it, saying, "we just wanted to see how she would handle something like this."

/sarcasm/

This was one the most fake set-ups the Clintons have ever pulled!!! Are people buying that this really happened on Friday afternoon in time for Hillary not to have to talk before the DNC? The guy had CNN’s phone numbers? Come ON!!! And had to get out the message that “ordinary people need help” (I think I saw that in the campaign lit...) Very skeptical person here....

The 'hostage-taker' should get his schedule straight. He was supposed to show up at the Republican Debate and make a few remarks about how hard it is to get mental health care.

From AP: “the picture of calm in the face of crisis”.

Give Me A Break!! This is what dems — and Hillary — consider a CRISIS???

How much “leadership” and “courage” does it take to stay calm when she was in Virginia, what, 1000 miles away from the scene, and she STILL cancelled her scheduled appearance? Move over, John Wayne!

And let’s not forget the universal criticism from the dems on 9/11 when Bush didn’t immediately fly back to DC into the middle of the attack.

I hesitate to post another article on this topic, but this column from the Boston Herald (via Drudge) leads me to the believe that the hostage "crisis" was extended way beyond a reasonable time limit. The culprit's son offered to go in a extract his drunken dad, and told them that all he had was road flares.

IMHO, the event was extended so as to increase the visibility of the Clinton Campaign. I suspect that Hillary was on the phone to all of the authorities warning them not to end it too soon or there would be hell to pay.

[Uncle Hal]

As this whole sorry episode played itself out you knew the MSM would make her look like Joan of Arc, In reality she did nothing to cause this out come. What a bunch of BS. The thought of Hillary and Bill being in the White House makes me ill.

[Enchante]

What pitiful buffoons. Could the AP writer and Sabato plant their heads any more firmly in Shrillery's backside? She did not DO anything except pester law enforcement all afternoon from her cozy living room. BFD. Do we need a CiC who suffers such "bewilderment, confusion..." for even such a relatively small crisis??? (not small to the people caught in that office and their families, but certainly small on the scale of international crises).

Gee, it must have brought back memories "as a mother" of when Chelsea was jogging right past the WTC on 9/11 and the horror Shrillery felt then "as a mother"..... OH, WAIT, Shrillery just made up the story about Chelses and the WTC, but we never did see her raked over the coals in the MSM for that fabrication, did we?

"it was just a horrible sense of bewilderment, confusion, outrage, frustration, anger, everything at the same time"

[citizencon]

Expect more theatre and theatrics from Clinton Plantation Inc. and their Hollywood Connection, with matching raving reviews by the MSM, in order to boost her “tough and cool” image.
She could be the new Steve McQueen...
