Hillary Needs Acting Lessons

Hillary Clinton's words about Martin Luther King today were delivered with such phoniness, one wonders if she needs acting lessons. She never comes off as real, does she? I have no doubt that she was upset about King's death then, but I have a real doubt if she feels anything genuine today about that terrible time. It's a political moment only.

Sadly, I don't think she has ANY moments, except political moments.

That's why this primary season is so all consuming for her.

The parts of her speech I listened to on CNN made it clear to me that, as with the rest of this campaign season, it was not about Dr. King so much as it was about her.

i hate her exaggerated facial expressions. it's like she's always talking to a toddler.

When I saw your headline I thought it would be about her inability to ever deliver a joke (most recently witnessed on Leno re: sniper fire in Burbank.)

I haven't yet seen her today's clip and sounds like I probably wouldn't want to..



If Dr. King's assassination affected her so deeply, why is she attempting to *assassinate* the electibility of Senator Obama by hightening the racial component (Rev. Wright) in her campaign?

By the way, is there any documented evidence that she actually "met and shook hands" with Dr. King, or is this another historical "misstatement" on her part?
