Petraeus Leaves Hillary Speechless

By pv2k - April 15, 2008, 10:47AM

Little mention has been made of an exchange between Sen. Hillary Clinton and Gen. David Petraeus last week. One astute observer, Robert Ariail from Columbia, South Carolina, did however record that moment.

It can be seen here.

Many thanks to McClatchy News for making this available for others to see.

I've been thinking: I'd pay someone to ask Hillary Clinton if she still remembers the cookie recipe she was forced to release to try to quell the furor the Republicans made over her remark "I'm not just some little woman who stays home and bakes cookies for her husband."

Goddayum, boys and girls, that sounds a tad "elitist."

Here is one thing the site author said.

If you're a girl and you refuse to bake, then you're a bigger bitch than Mrs. Clinton.

yeah it is, but I have to confess that I laughed out loud when I read it. Sometimes insensitive stuff is very very funny.

Hillary left speechless again, according to CBS News.

From CBS News: Looks like Hillary is being put on the pay no mind list. Very sad; she now has come to the point where she is just talking to herself.

From CBS News' Fernando Suarez:

PHILADELPHIA -- Hillary Clinton was forced to cut her normal stump speech short when a chatty and meddlesome crowd kept her from grasping their attention. Clinton, who was addressing the Philadelphia County Democratic Party's Jefferson-Jackson Dinner, spoke for just over five minutes, despite having the press arrive almost two hours beforehand.

The crowd never settled down during her remarks. A spokesman for Clinton denied that she cut the speech short, and told reporters that Clinton was advised by her Pennsylvania team to deliver “a short speech" given the set up of the event.

In previous party dinners, most recently in Butte, Mt., Clinton spoke for almost an hour to a crowd that seemed to be paying attention. The aide said this was a “different type” of J-J Dinner, primarily because people were not seated at tables, and were “milling around” the banquet hall.

Whether or not Clinton’s reception at the dinner had anything to do with her recent attacks on Barack Obama remains unclear. Clinton has never delivered a formal speech in such a short amount of time. The most recent abbreviated speech was back on February 15 when Clinton spoke to a crowd at a Lockheed Martin plant in Akron, Ohio. The speech lasted for just 12 minutes, with the first applause line coming 11 minutes into the speech.
