Reply #13: My impression was very positive. What a breath of fresh air, basically.

I thought that the question deserved further derision after Hillary's hearty "laugh."
What amazes is how a really good laugh gets turned into a "cackle"
instead of synonyms less easily associated with witchcraft and chickens :rofl:

cackle v. , -led , -ling , -les . v.intr. To make the shrill cry characteristic of a hen after laying an egg.

That Clinton cackle

HENS CACKLE. So do witches. And, so does the front-runner in the Democratic presidential contest.

Former Bill Clinton adviser Dick Morris recently described Hillary Clinton's laugh as "loud, inappropriate, and mirthless. . . . A scary sound that was somewhere between a cackle and a screech." Politico's Ben Smith referred to Clinton's "signature cackle." Conservative radio hosts routinely play Clinton's "cackle" on their radio shows.

Yet according to a new poll, the cackler is leading her closest competitor in New Hampshire by 20 points. As a result, her challengers made her their target during last week's Hanover, N.H., debate.

Any woman who has ever been the only female in the room knows the guys are always waiting for that perfect moment - the one that makes the woman look silly, stupid, weepy or best of all, witchy. The men running against Clinton are still waiting for such an opportunity.

So far, all they have to work with is her laugh. The cackler is smooth, well-scripted, and undeterred by their now-familiar attacks.
