When will we put a stop to this divisiveness? Things are either funny or they aren't and Ms. Clinton is clearly trying to triangulate once again. She appeals to our basest instinct each time she laughs, and it's unconscionable to defend such laughter.

Did you know Rush Limbaugh is urging his listeners to laugh? Sean Hannity even laughed today on his show.

Ms. Clinton, stop the laughs!

Well, there you have it. The answer to that old quandry: "I don't know whether to laugh or cry."

Crying, as we all know, amounts to gender-based manipulation. And laughter, as Genghis points out, is plainly racially divisive. So the answer, of course, is to do neither.

The safest course for Hillary is to display no emotion whatsoever. After all, what can her critics possibly say to that - accuse her of being cold, aloof, and unfeeling?

She may be laughing on the outside, but she's crying on the inside. Crying over health care. Over the war. And over the environment. Just like that Italian guy who pretended to be a Native American. Except that he was crying on the outside.

She must denounce, renounce, reject, and repudiate her sense of humor.

Serious social scientists suggest (hey, accidental alliteration {and again, all right!}) that laughter began as an attack, hooting derisively at the top male in primate troops.

Nyuk, nyuk.

Intrigued by your suggestion that Hillary's laughter is White, I tried to get an interview with Reverend Wright, to determine whether he felt you were wrong or right.

The Reverend could not be reached, so I took it to the streets, and found a Right Reverend Write (he's a part-time poet) in Greenwich Village who told me that he felt not only was Hillary's laughter racist but that ALL laughter is evil and should be denounced. His exact words: "God DAMN laughter!".

So then I tried to get an interview with Obama, but was told he was on the phone with his next endorsing (soon to be announced) Super Delegate and could he take my number. While waiting for his callback, I took the question back to the streets and found a number of people who couldn't tell me what Obama might be thinking but maybe I should go and ask someone named Yo Mama.

I went back home and wiki'd Yo Mama and was directed to the website of Yo-Yo Ma. So I tried to reach Yo-Yo Ma but was told that he was performing on stage and I could try him later.

I then tried to reach Bill Clinton but was told he could not be reached because he had taken it to the streets and was currently standing outside a liquor store in Philadelphia, asking for 5 dollar donations to his wife's campaign. I hear he'll even except quarters.

Tomorrow, I will continue my efforts and, once I get a real interview with a real politician, I will come back and report.

Meantime, I think out of respect to Hillary, Josh should ban laughter here at TPM by deleting the username and profile of anyone who LOL's.

Hillary doesn't ROFL, let alone ROFLMAO. She does, however, very ocassionally GFBFMDHB.

She refuses to reveal, however, what that means.

I'm no supporter of Hillary, but this laugh thing doesn't seem funny at all. It would be if you added "up-tight" white woman.

Dude, you need a vacation. If its come down to laughs good or bad....Wow.

"Why is the media always focusing on how I laugh. Why do they never point out when Senator Obama chuckles. For far too long woman have struggled to break through The Laugh Ceiling. It is time for women to laugh off their male chauvinist shackles. Laugh Women, Laught. A rising chuckle lifts all Vaginas!"

I am Hillary Feigned Giggles Clinton,

and I titteringly approve of this message.

The difference in this laugh (as opposed to the other times she laughed inappropriately) is that this time it was completely psychotic. Watch her as she seriously listens to the question, brow furrowed until the question is completed. You can tell from the facial expression she is in no laughing mood. Then, like a schizophrenic, she breaks into this deranged laughter, complete with a nonsensical statement "angels on the head of a pin"?

Hillary dear, there are wonderful medications and therapists out there. Please, for your own good, step away from the podium. These nice gentlemen in the white coats would like to escort you somewhere where you can get some rest.

Perhaps Hillary meant Angels on the head of her Mark Penn!. She sure seems to think that he is divinely inspired.
