It Is To Laugh

No wonder the Clintons are losing. And it appears that lots of people are piling on. Quelle surprise. Throughout this campaign, the Clintons have handed their critics a sword. No reason for those critics not to twist it:
Hillary Clinton used her trademark laugh Thursday to deflect a question about the $800,000 her husband earned in 2005 giving speeches for a Bogota-based group that supports the Colombia free trade agreement — the same trade deal she currently opposes.
Asked by CNN if those earnings represented a conflict of interest given that she has dipped into her family's pocketbook to pay campaign bills, Clinton threw up her hands and laughed loudly for several seconds.
"How many angels dance on the head of the pin?," she responded, continuing to giggle. "I have really, uh, nothing to … I mean, how do you answer that?"
How indeed? Other than to note that the Clintons have gotten rich off of the Colombia-U.S. trade deal while Hillary Clinton works to ensure that the deal does not pass and American businesses won't be able to have access to Colombian markets?
You answer it honestly Hillary, that's how. The poor fool tries treating it as a complicated question, metaphysical in nature, something for a Thomas Aquinas to wrestle with in his monastic cell, when it never needed asking if the Clinton's had a decent consistency in the first place.
Now that she's yet again revised her team of real professional political experts,[kidding] do you think there's one there who could get her off that inane attempt of sidestepping questions by idiotically laughing ? It's so tired, feeble, and pathetic.
She's been called on and she still can't stop, doesn't she know she is only advertising her deficiencies?
Meanwhile Crazy Bill continues to run amuck. Smart move Bill, bringing up the Bosnia thing again.
And to think that up until about a year ago these two bumbling clowns were still being regarded as two of the savviest political pros ever.
