Kristol On Clinton: "It's The Tears. She Pretended To Cry, The Women Felt Sorry For Her, And She Won"

The Hotline:

Taking the stage to much cheering and sign-waving, Barack Obama kissed wife Michelle (tastefully, not Al and Tipper style), and congratulated Hillary Clinton on doing an "outstanding job."

"Hillary Clinton was able to do something Bill Clinton couldn't do -- win the New Hampshire primary" -- MSNBC's Chris Matthews.

NRO's Rich Lowry writes, "Whatever happened to hope sweeping the country? That was so 2 p.m." (NRO).

Weekly Standard's Bill Kristol, on HRC: "It's the tears. She pretended to cry, the women felt sorry for her, and she won" (FNC).

It's her Party and she could cry if she wants to, you would cry too if it happened to you.

Well, it's now Kristol clear that Billy is nothing but a shill for the Republicans. When Bush cries, it is because he is sensitive and empathic, but if Hillary cries, it's because she's manipulative.

When someone has racked up a record of being wrong that approaches that of Pat Robberson's "God told me" predictions, it is astounding that he is given any credence whatsoever.

He proves that what the world needs is retroactive abortions.

the msm and the world knows the truth. A true count was delivered wherever there were paper ballots counted. However, in the largest two cities in NH, namely Nashua and Manchester Diebold electronic machines are used. Hello, guess where Hillary supposedly garnered all the extra votes?

also, Ron Paul did not even have his votes counted in Sutton.This election needs a recount, yesterday!!!

Such pithy analysis from a man who possesses a PhD from Harvard and is now blessed with a weekly column in the nation's paper of record.
Clearly standards are now what they used to be.

Mr. Kristol is not only moral repugnant he is also not that bright.

Well, if they were crocodile tears for the cameras, it won't work a second time!

Another way of looking at it is, Hillary is now suspect under pressure, when you are reduced to tears by pressure, it indicates a certain despair which describes her inability to crack a hard nut!

I think her emotional display was nothing more than a happy coincedence for Hillary, people saw it and felt sorry for her plight and decided there and then to support her for emotional, not to say intelligent reasons.

Mitt cried three times in three weeks, but no one made an issue of it. Bush cried at least twice during his presidency and so forth.

It is unbelievable how many on Huffpo sound like republicans. Bush is the enemy--remember. The goal is to elect a democratic.

You people sound as though you would rather elect republican than elect Hillary (if Obama is not the nominee.

I am undecided, but I will support whoever the nominee is. I just do not understand where all of the hate comes from. What is it about?

When Bill was president, I do not recall democrats complaining about too many issues. Look, I did not agree with some of the Clinton’s policies, however, they were much better than any republican policies then and now. If Hillary could give us half of what we enjoyed under Bill, it would be a significant improvement.

Neither candidate is going to deliver on every promise—to think otherwise is naïve. Both candidates are laying to middle, because that is where the money is. Hell, Obama is a member of Democratic Leadership Council/New Democrats, a conservative are of the Democratic Party and are of the Republican Party. Their only concern is advancing policy for corporate America. The founder is Al From. Look for yourself.

Why would a progressive be a member of is council?

Maureen Dowd made the exact same, idiotic characterization of Hillary in her most recent New York Times column. I don't know which is worse, that Bill Kristol agrees with Maureen Dowd, or that Dowd agrees with Kristol. Tell me again, why did the paper of record hire Bill Kristol? Was it simply to add to the Hillary-hater amen chorus?

Guess what Bill, you reacted like a typical male idiot. Did it cross your idiotic mind that maybe half the population, which are women, are tired of the aging, white, stupid males of this country dictating to us how we should vote? So she teared up, big deal? You think THAT swung the vote? How about that she is WOMAN and she has a chance at being POTUS?
No, of course that didn't cross your pea brain.
Go back to your corner and take a time out, then go outside to play.
