Hillary Booed at McCartney's Twin Towers Relief Concert
New York Senator Hillary Clinton was roundly booed at former Beatle Paul McCartney's Twin Towers relief concert, held at Manhattan's Madison Square Garden Saturday night.
The embarrassing moment came as Sen. Clinton introduced a short video clip from stand-up comic Jerry Seinfeld.
Though the former first lady has tried to capitalize on the Twin Towers tragedy, thrusting herself before one TV camera after another in an effort to connect with average New Yorkers and advance her 2004 presidential ambitions, McCartney's concert showed the effort still needed more work.
One eyewitness to the scene reported to the website FreeRepublic.com that Clinton "was booed so loudly, she had to yell into the mike to be heard."
Another estimated that "90 percent" of the crowd jeered the former first lady.
Her husband, the former president, who was also present, got a much warmer reception.

Richard Gere was booed too. He wants us all to love Osama to death. I'd rather we just blew him to bits and got it over with.

Too bad Clintigulia's welcome wasn't as warm.

If Hilary even won the Democratic Party's nomination in '04, that would be the proverbial "last straw" causing me to finalize my plans to defect to Switzerland....

I'd rather we just blew him to bits and got it over with. Which one, bin Laden or Gere? (or both maybe?)>/sarcasm<

These are the same people who elected her. What did they THINK she was going to do? I would suggest that the time to show their opposition would have been BEFORE she plopped her ample backside in their Senate seat.
You can't boo the horse back into the barn.

How bout we send Gere with Hill and Jesse to negotiate a peace settlement with the Taliban and take care of the whole thing once and for all.

Sorry I missed it. And I bet I won't get a chance to see it on CNN or the gang of three (ABC, NBC & CBS). Let's see if Fox can get it out there for the rest of us to appreciate....

Richard Gere was booed too. He wants us all to love Osama to death.At least Gere is just loopy, and honestly believes what he says. Hitlery just sees 6000 dead as a chance to further herself.

Having grown up in NYC and having known lots of cops and firemen be assured few of her voters were in that crowd last night.
