Hillary: I've Gotten Used to Being Booed

Since launching her bid to become New York's senator, Hillary Clinton says she's been booed by crowds so many times that she's now gotten used to it.

Asked about an incident where she was booed off the stage at Paul McCartney's Oct. 20 concert to honor firefighters and police killed in the Twin Tower attacks, Mrs. Clinton told the New York Times Sunday Magazine, "I've gotten used to being in situations in political life, either vicariously or on my own, where that just happens sometimes."

Clinton described the humiliating heckling episode as "part of the healing process" in the wake of the World Trade Center attack.

"(The firefighters and cops) can blow off steam any way they want to," she added. "They've earned it."

The former first lady has also been publicly booed at New York City's St. Patrick's and Israeli Day parades as well as at her own New Year's Eve Millenium celebration on Washington, D.C.'s Mall.

Clinton campaign biographer Beth Harpaz, author of the book, "The Girls on the Van," recently told Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly that Sen. Clinton hasn't attended any funerals for constituents killed in the 9/11 attacks because she's afraid she'll be booed.

And while she wasn't heckled or jeered during her first visit to Ground Zero on Sept. 14, one on-the-scene source told NewsMax.com that firemen and cops refused to shake her hand.

The Times profile also revealed that Mrs. Clinton's obnoxious eye-rolling during President Bush's address to Congress just days after the 9/11 attacks was more typical than previously known.

"Her aides insisted it had nothing to do with the president," reported Timesman Frank Bruni.

"But when I later saw her at a Senate budget committee hearing, she silently and reflexively shook her head and rolled her eyes almost every time one of the economists who were testifying mentioned Bush's tax cut."

Hillary Not Blaming Bush for 9 /11 Anymore

Just a month ago, New York Senator Hillary Clinton was blaming the Bush tax cut for the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon. But not anymore.

During a Nov. 11 interview with CNN's Jonathan Karl, the former first lady insisted, "If we hadn't passed the big tax cut last spring, that I believe undermined our fiscal responsibility and our ability to deal with this new threat of terrorism, we wouldn't be in the fix we're in today."

Since then Mrs. Clinton has apparently thought better of her intemperate remarks, especially since the last thing her financially beleaguered state needs is to insult the man who controls the purse strings.

In an interview published in Sunday's New York Post, Clinton saw things differently.

"I support (Pres. Bush's) leadership," she proclaimed. "I believe his strong hand and words have helped to unify the country and give us the resolve to go forward in this war against terrorism."

Well, nice to know her nice sharp Rhodes Sholar mind can remember things. Seems she has forgotten the comments during her 'listening tour'.. She was told "Go Home!" in almost every language spoken in this state. That was listed as one of her reasons for wanting to be 'Our Senator.' (Puke) (Newsweek.. if I remember correctly.. or maybe Time put that article out.)

"I've gotten used to being in situations in political life, either vicariously or on my own, where that just happens sometimes."

Really? Then why did she throw a complete hissy fit afterward about the incident? I dont recall the man's name, but she and her idiot husband blamed him for that fiasco. I beleive he was one of the producers. As is he held up a cue card saying "BOO NOW" when she walked onstage.

My keyboard has an endless supply of B's and o's, just waiting to come together at every opportune moment. While it would be more fun to do it in person, logistics is always a problem.

"Seriously, she just talks, trying to say ANYTHING that she thinks makes her look good."

That's how The Clintons have always operated. They lick a finger and stick it up to see wich way the wind is blowing and then come up with another con to keep themselves in the public eye, if not in public office. Bubba and The Sea Hag are a disgrace to this country.

"So why wasn't she at any of the World Series games? I understand she's a rabid Yankees fan."

And I'm The Pope.

[Judith Anne]

I believe it's true she may be rabid, but I doubt she's a Yanks fan. ;-D

[InvisibleChurch]

Good Hillary!, you'll get plenty of boos.

[copycat]

When you are so damn smart and superior you can`t figure out what the boos are about.

Her psychological makeup demands that she lie to herself about what the boos mean. The scary part is that she believes the lie...

[CheneyChick]

Another BUMP for the Witch!

[blackbart.223]

I agree, she's rabid. Maybe that's why Buddy ran in front of a car. He caught rabies from Hillary.
