Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton used the occasion of Wednesday's endorsement announcement from the American Federation of Teachers to take a light-hearted crack at the New York Times over what the paper has dubbed "The Clinton Cackle."

"I don't want to go on too much longer, because it might cause me to laugh, and then you know, heaven knows what we'd hear about for the next week," she said at the conclusion of her acceptance speech to the laughter of both the AFT members and media present.

I don't care how she laughs, just so we don't have to listen to her sing. ;-).

Seriously though, here's a news flash: when women laugh, more often then not that's what it sounds like, hens cackling. I don't know if anyone else has ever noticed it, but I have. Anyway, we should be using other criteria for choosing our president other than what they sound like laughing. Maybe that's why we are in such sad shape now.

If Hillary tempers her laughter in future interviews we will know it was partly contrived during the recent interviews.

More importantly, why isn't Ann Coulter's inauthentic ad nauseam sickening laughter an issue? It should be.

She does sound like she's gone off of her meds when she laughs. I wonder if that is what drove Bill to fat chicks.

What other non-issue will the NYT dump on the public in this overly long, marathon campign to distract us from the fact that the field is crowded? Hillary cackles-so what! Hillary also votes in the senate, speaks to voters, joins in debates, raises money & campaigns. The NYT might not want to cover these substantive facts since it no longer is the USA's sole newspaper of record. Let one of the other newspapers of record deal with the substantive factors in the campaign.

Fox News created this strawman to divert attention from Hilliary laughing in the face of the Fox wag over his outrageous question about political extremism. Hillary, you go girl!

Hillary was labeled as "cold and calculating" and thus criticized. Now when she attempts to be funny, she is bashed on her "cackle"!

It is rather obvious and as I have always maintained, that the extreme right and the left-fringe socialists are equally clueless and absolutely impervious to common sense and/or a reasonable way of thinking or discourse!

Puerile rants pretty much are the essence of their "points-of-view" ...

Billery is NOT serious enough to be considered seriously. She is trying to use humor as a weapon to deflect from giving straight honest answers. Certainly she has some ability to use the analytical side of her brain to solve some minor problems. She does appears to be more of a dippy flake than a world leader. I would not trust anyone who laughs at reasonable questions from the press. Ronald Reagan did that laughing deflection practice as well but to a lesser extent.

YOU may not take Senator Clinton seriously, but unless you have been in a cave for the last few years, you know that many people do. As for inappropriate laughter, your president can't seem to control that idiotic smirk and snicker no matter what he's talking about.

I thought this was an interesting article from my local paper...

http://www.thejournalnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071004/NEWS05/710040378

Current Senators running for the White House and how many votes they have missed since January 8, 2007.

Of 357 votes.....

Clinton missed 32.
Obama missed 90.
McCain missed 182.
Dodd missed 97.
Biden missed 105.
Brownback missed 131.

But is the cackle really an appropriate response to a question about her vote to give bush the go ahead on the war with Iran?

I think not. I don't think war is funny. I don't think wasted American lives and treasure is funny.

And I don't think Cliton is funny.

Billery is NOT serious enough to be considered seriously. A gamble on her is high risk with questionable results. She has a risk/reward ratio that is hard to approve. She may know this and thus laughs it off as a side stepping bluff.

That Clinton's laugh is news is an indication of how completely superficial we have become in this nation. What passes for public discourse is embarrassing.

Your a fool if you pledge your support to the witch.
The ads they had against Kerry 4 years ago , is kiddies stuff compared to all they can bring up about Hillary. Beef futures, travel agents, missing papers, the list is endless.
We need a real winner like Al Gore.

ChristinDemocrat if you love Billery that much maybe you, your lesbian Queen, and the dog who will not stay on the porch (her husband) can have a 3-way tumble. No matter if you have no attractiveness, Bill is not picky.

I am an expert on laughter-the mirth response.

I don't like to "TV diagnose" but Hillary's laugh seems hardy,deep,and genuine. It seems not contrived.

I love it! It demonstrates both openness and confidence.

Would you vote for a humorless politician or marry a humorless spouse? I would not.

Keep laughing Hillary- All the way to the White House and beyond.

You'll have plenty of serious issues to face but laughter will just strengthen you to deal with them.

You're right. I noticed during a TV spot how her personality just jumped out filling, almost brightening the screen with something she hasn't been able to convey to the people, friend a foe alike.
I wrote to her telling her how I enjoyed the way she came off as a human and how laughter is the one thing that makes us different then animals.
The New York Times dubbed it "The Clinton Cackle." and all that does is confirm that it's just one more card in her game that they need to destroy.
There's no way in hell that they can allow Mrs Clinton to look like the only candidate with a real personalty. After all Bill Clinton still has it and believe my there are some politicians that never will have it.

The reason no one likes the cackle is because Hillary uses it to manipulate.

Everything she does is contrived.

She will keep us in this war--look at her voting record.

She's laughing all the way to the Oval Office.
Before all is said and done in the next two to three weeks Hillary Clinton will have rapped up the Democratic Nomination. The Polls are significantly starting to show huge gaps. It is unlikely that Obama can narrow this lead significantly; he has lost a lot of credibility by not standing firm on the issue of Iraq.

In your opinion do you believe that the Democratic race is already over? ------>

Exactly. People who obsess over her cackle (and that apparently includes at least one editorial head on this site) don't seem to have anything else of substance to talk about.

Hyperbole about her being the worst Republican in sheep's clothing doesn't count.
