Barf Alert... Analysis: Clinton Calm in Hostage Crisis

Of course the media is on the democrat's side, but this is just ridiculous...

-----------

By GLEN JOHNSON

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. (AP) - When the hostages had been released and their alleged captor arrested, a regal-looking Hillary Rodham Clinton strolled out of her Washington home, the picture of calm in the face of crisis.

The image, broadcast just as the network news began, conveyed the message a thousand town hall meetings and campaign commercials strive for - namely, that the Democratic presidential contender can face disorder in a most orderly manner.

----------

OF COURSE she was calm!! She wasn't one of the hostages!! Sheesh! Leave it to the Associated Press to put Hillary on a pedestal because of some psycho who went into her campaign office claiming he had a bomb.

And when they do an article about Romney, it would be nice if they had someone with some intelligence going over it before printing. I mean, I am not the best speller myself, but you would think that the people who write for AP would be.

A Wonkish Romney Turns Up on the Trail

By LIZ SIDOTI

DUBUQUE, Iowa (AP) - Mitt Romney loves statistics. The former venture capitalist pores over charts and grafs. He analyzes situations and data from every angle. It's little wonder, then, that as he campaigns for president, the Republican sometimes shows his wonkish side.

---------

I could be wrong, but shouldn't pores be "pours" and grafs be "graphs"? I mean, I know it's not the New York Times, but shouldn't AP have some standards, too? Or is it that they just don't care enough when it's an article about a republican candidate?

Excuse me .. "pores" are the HOLES IN YOUR SKIN THAT ALLOW IT TO BREATHE. "Pours" - according to Webster's dictionary: 2: to supply or produce freely or copiously 3: to give full expression to : vent I know the English language is weird - but Merriam-Webster online can be a life saver.

LOL!! Golly gee, I heard about an emergency taking place 600+ miles from where I was sipping my latte and let me tell you all, I was absolutely COOL UNDER FIRE! I even picked up my cell phone to call and make unsolicited and unneeded suggestions to EMS about how to handle said emergency, but then I was sooooo cool under pressure that I decided I could wait 5 hours to see how things turned out. Once everything was resolved with no loss of life I was ready to go on national TV and announce that I SHOULD BE PRESIDENT OF THE USA. After all, I have truly displayed “cool under fire” for emergencies happening hundreds of miles away.

Well .. IT USED TO BE “LED” - AND TO “LEAD” SOMEONE IS SPELLED WITH THE “A”.

Such as: I led her to her chair.

or: I will lead her down the stairs.

Another case of the same combination of letters having usage as several parts of speech, in this case verb and adjective and noun.

1) 'Led' is the simple past tense of the verb 'to lead', sounded with a long 'e'.

2) 'Lead', sounded with a long 'e', as in 'lead paragraph' is an adjective. 'Lede' is simply a piece of newspaper industry jargon.

3) 'Lead', sounded with a short 'e', is the metal having chemical symbol Pb.

Hillary was not even there at the hostage taking, so why should she not be calm? I was calm too.

Didn’t she go nuts because her socialized medicine plan failed?

Yet she “stayed calm” when her husband raped Juanita.

What a woman.

Some guy quipped “I wonder how much she paid him!”
The whole place burst out laughing!

I'll be surprised if Hillary gets the nomination. If she is the presidential candidate, she will be very easy to beat -- the exception being Giuliani and maybe Romney. In a real presidential campgaign, Thompson would absolutely dominate.

No matter how friendly the coverage, the media betray Hillary because she betrays herself. She is loathed, and the media are not her friends even when they want to be.

Shrillary on her cell phone to Juanita Broaddrick: “Juanita, honey, I want you to know I’ve been perfectly cool under fire since my husband raped you. We do appreciate all that you do for us!”

Shrillary on cell phone to Kathleen Willey: “Kathleen, darling, I’ve been perfectly cool under fire since my husband fondled and assaulted you while your husband was out committing suicide.”

Shrillary on cell phone to Vince Foster’s widow: “Lisa, baby, I’m still perfectly cool under fire and I haven’t lost a night’s sleep since your husband’s unfortunate demise. He, on the other hand, just couldn’t handle the pressure of lying and committing fraud on the American public. Poor guy!”
