Hillary Clinton's Gift to the Media
Washington Post ^ | Dec.22, 2007 | Anne E. Kornblut

Posted on 12/23/2007 6:31:49 AM PST by COUNTrecount

In the spirit of the season, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton passed out candy canes to reporters here on Saturday. Then she took numerous questions. All this just one day after Clinton sat down for a rare off-the-record session with her traveling press corps in Manchester on Friday night.

Playing a little Mrs. Santa Claus with the media? Perhaps.

But Clinton is also in close competitions both here and in Iowa, and her advisers believe she can gain an edge if she keeps showing more of her personal side. Although she is the first to admit she is uncomfortable opening up in public, Clinton has tried her best over the last week, holding "The Hillary I Know" events with testimonials from supporters, bringing her mother and daughter onto the campaign trail and now, apparently, charming the press (arguably one of her least favorite segments of society, given her history with the media, ranking somewhere in the neighborhood of the vast right-wing conspiracy).

Who cares?? Off the record, why bother. Is her face frozen from cold weather or injections? The last photo I saw of her was very wrinkly.

I wish I could afford to go to her hairdresser!

From the look on her face in post #1, somebody must have had Mexican for lunch, and it did not agree with them.

How many more pro-Senator Klinton articles can we get from the ComPost? Is the author a paid member of her staff?

Mrs. Clinton should be checked for syphilis,
I’ve heard it can drive one crazy and she is obviously one crazy bitch.

I’ll bet Bill could think of something to do with that candy cane.

I bet the 10 cent candy was paid for with our tax dollars.

Her "Gift" to the media? Which one?

"P-S-S-S-S-S-T-T-T-T!! Did you hear about Johnny Edwards' love child...
Did you know that Barack HUSSEIN Obama, the MUSLIM smoked pot and took drugs?"

That's ridiculous.
Everyone knows that Hillary does not eat Mexicans.
She eats babies.

Shouldn't you tag line read "...3:10 to Huma"?

Yeah, Right.....

Ask her any question you like? More like ask me any question you like. We're taking notes and if your question irks me now or in the future, I'll have you killed. And don't make eye contact with me either.....

This hag makes me puke. If she's got so much experience as a leader, how come we have to keep getting re-introduced to her to get a better understanding of her? After 14 years of national exposure, what could we possibly still hold as a mystery with her?

You don't really want to know.

She is good at sucking. One of the requirements of Bill.

Funny how the Edwards LOVE CHILD story fell off the face of the earth.

Team Clinton is the gift to the media that keeps on giving...to the point where I’ve long since said, “Enough already!”
