Aren't Dems Supposed To Be Able To Tell A Joke?????

[EV_Ares]

Dam, what a media we have. All day long is about Hillary telling a joke. Was she trying to be funny, who was she talking about Bill, Osamba), etc? My god, is our media so inept, they devote an entire day to a joke. They also in a way remind me of what they did to Howard Dean incident in Iowa with the mike. They isolated Hillary singing to show how bad she is.

This media is sickening. Hell the people got it and I am sure they are not going home and analyze it.

1. The media IS sickening... BUT...

Hillary also isn't a very good joke-teller.

;)

6. Gonna disagree with a fellow Clarkie here.

Her timing on that "evil men" joke was delightful. Yes, she has dealt with evil men. And she's the one still standing on the high ground.

[Clark2008]

11. I was actually making a silly, too.

Jokes and houses... :)

[Bucky]

12. I missed your 'winking' smily.

I miss a lot because my eyes tend to well up with tears whenever I see a Wes Clark photo in someone's sig file.

[Clark2008]

23. Awwww....

I love that picture.

I truly hope I get to vote for him again. I actually got to VOTE for Wes (I'm in Tennessee).

[EV_Ares]

9. Yeah, that may be true. Kerry isn't either but to go on about this the

way they have is unbelievable. I mean it was something that was said and the people just laughed and go on about their way. The media on the other hand take it and dissect it, tear it apart, what the meaning was and everything. Its ridiculous.

Dam, I mean every single word she says. She isn't even my choice for our candidate but it just pisses me off that any dem, they will go off like this. I mean, hell, Bush hasn't even learned to speak English yet.

10. That's What They Do

People really thought a different Democrat would be immune??

[napi21]

2. Did it ever occur to anyone that the joke could have been about

the Ken Starr, and all the Pub "evil bad men in the Hosue & Senate" in her past?

That's what I thought when I hear her say that!

[Bucky]

13. Is there anyone who did NOT think that was a riff on Ken Starr?

I thought it was pretty obvious.

[justiceischeap]

15. I thought she was referring to

B*sh and Cheney

[blm]

3. Let's see... how WOULD Hillary react if, let's say another Dem dropped a pronoun

from his joke and the RW lie machine targeted him unfairly?

Let's check the moral compass:

WWHD?

What Would Hillary Do?

[Kerry fan]

16. Yep, we know what Hillary did.

She was one of the first out there denigrating Kerry for a botched joke.

Hillary gets NO empathy from me and NO vote from me.

[Uben]

4. Here!

Pull my finger!

[patrice]

5. We are not voting for a singer or a comediene.

The media, as usual, underestimates many of us.

[WI_DEM]

7. unfortunately this is the kind of thing we are up against if Hillary is the nominee

and hopefully the electorate would get sick of it.

[Bucky]

14. I fault Clinton (not "Hillary", but Senator Clinton) for many things. Not this.

She's doing fine out there with these appearances. She's handling herself well. If the oppo and the press all act like dumbasses, this is not her fault. This isn't even a plausible smear. The only person who even welcomes such idiocy from the press is, well, John Edwards' real estate agent.

[eleny]

8. You would think it's a slow news day with this parsing

[The Wielding Truth]

17. When I heard about this I thought right off of how she has had to deal

with the nasty Republi-cons that have left no stone unturned to disgrace
and undermine her husband's administration and our country's democracy.

[snowbear]

18. Which network are you watching?

I've on CNN on and they're talking mostly about Bush's polls going down the tubes...

If they mentioned Hillary's joke.. it wasn't much of a story..

[EV_Ares]

20. Maybe they are done with it by now. This was all day earlier on

MSNBC, CNN, etc, you name it.

[The Straight Story]

19. Oh I dunno - we bitch about edwards' house for days thread after thread

:rofl:

[uppityperson]

21. I am amused by the combination name in your post.

Osamba. I was hoping this would be a joke. Oh well.

[Change has come]

26. Osamba. . .

Dam interesting. :hi:

[SoCalDem]

22. NOTE TO CANDIDATES..... Q U I T .. T E L L I N G ... J O K E S

We are NOT "hiring" you to entertain us. We need your smarts...not your lame-o jokes :grr:

[B Calm]

24. letting the right-wing media dictate what we can can do?

[SoCalDem]

25. Nope. I have NEVER liked their attempts at "levity"

It sounds phony, it looks phony, and they rarely have the timing and wit to carry it off. Bill Clinton could do it, JFK could do it, but 99.999999999999 % of the rest just end up having to "explain" the joke..

[blm]

28. One of the worst jokes EVER came from Bill - when he was joking about hitting on a dead Mummy

a really 'good'looking Mummy' that happened to be of a young 14-15yo girl.....as part of his SPEECH that opened up an exhibit... during the Lewinsky matter......and that joke still gets resurrected on celebrity dumb statement shows.

[htuttle]

27. Just wait until Franken runs for the Senate in '08

If Corporate Media covers all the jokes he ends up telling this way, they'll be talking about nothing else...
