The Swamp reports:

Sen. Hillary Clinton teared up this morning at an event at the Yale Child Study Center, where she worked while in law school in the early 1970s.


Penn Rhodeen, who was introducing Clinton, began to choke up, leading Clinton's eyes to fill with tears, which she wiped out of her left eye. At the time, Rhodeen was saying how proud he was that sheepskin-coat, bell-bottom-wearing young woman he met in 1972 was now running for president.

"Well, I said I would not tear up; already we're not exactly on the path," Clinton said with emotion after the introduction.

USA Today adds:

At the Yale Child Study Center where Clinton once worked, she was introduced by her former boss Penn Rhodeen before a roundtable on the difficulties faced by working mothers. "You were all in purple," Rhodeen said of their first meeting, "from your sheepskin coat to your bell-bottoms. You looked wonderful and so 1972."


Clinton, who today was wearing a yellow and black ensemble, welled up at Rhodeen's reference to "our magnificent Hillary."

"I said I would not tear up today," Clinton remarked. Kathy writes that the senator blinked back the evidence with a smile. [...]

Kathy tells us that this morning's moment had a different feel: "She wasn't sad. Just moved by a nice tribute."

This article has remained on the front page of Hufffington Post for a week. At first it was a misrepresentation. Now it's propaganda. I'm losing respect for this site and it's creator.

the tears didn't work in Connecticut this time.

What amazes me is why people think Hillary is not as electable in November as Obama is. Consider the following:

1. You have a certain percentage of the population that will vote for the Clinton marquee based on how they experienced the 92-2000 presidency. Even the Bush marquee got him in on his dad's less than illustrious reign .

2. Then you have the women vote. It is there. Don't kid yourself. If Hillary is running against the macho McCain, the women vote will be strongly for Hillary. Many Republican women might be publicly expressing their distaste for Hillary, but when in the polling booth, push the lever for the sisterhood.

Taken together, these two segments of the voting population are enough to give Hillary a significant edge in the general election.

Obama's support can be categorized as following:

1. The disaffected who want change. These people believe things have gone to hell in a hand basket in this country and we need the Obama revolution.

2. The new voters who are getting caught up in the Obama fever.

Both these voting segments are fickle and cannot be depended on to stay on Obama's camp when push comes to shove. It is just the nature of politics where candidates with less roots run the risk of getting blown away with the prevailing winds. Running against McCain, who is clearly rooted in the American political landscape, cannot just be accomplished with lofty slogans.

If Obama wins the primaries fair and square, well, he has earned his way and so be it. But if, as many are predicting now, we are moving toward a contentious draw for nomination, then Obama must step aside. He can trade his chips for the VP position which he has more than earned.

But if Obama decides that he is going to fight tooth and nail to achieve a superior position based on sloganeering, then he will reveal himself to be another phony loser Democrat who is more interested in marshaling masses off a tall cliff than doing what is best for his party and the country.

If you"re for Hillary why do you have to be anti Barak and if you"re for Barak why do you have to be anti Hillary? This back and forth name calling and bickering has got to stop. Both candidates are strong and are breath of fresh air. Both will bring about change. Both would be better than Bush, and are better candidates than McCain, Romney or Huckabee. Let"s stop all the infighting, vote for whoever you"re going to vote for, and may the best candidate win and beat the daylights out of the other party.

Unity not division will get us the Whitehouse in November.

And why shouldn't she cry if she wants to? Especially in Connecticut. After all, she lost in Connecticut.

Unbelievable. the amount of bashing Hillary gets. Reagan the big cowboy- that even Obama emulates( but denies as soon as it is inconvenient)--- He has teared up in public speaking situations as well.
Why does Obama get so many breaks & Hillary absolutely no sympathy. If Obama gets criticized, he is being so unfairly attacked. If Hillary shows a little emotions- (not like she was sobbing for goodness sake)-- she is so manipulative! So much sexism that is Not being talked about in this race!
Notice Utah voted for Obama- It tells you they couldn't stomach a woman. We're still in the dark ages. Much of the heartland still can't grasp the values or ethos of the Enlightenment. Leda in L.A.

An article from "The Swamp". An aptly-named "publication".

Let's put aside all pretenses and die-hard support for any candidate for once and put on our objectivity and honesty hats. This "tearing up" was calculated and planned and we know this because Hillary tells us.

No one would have been any wiser to any "tearing up" had she just gotten up and did her speech but instead she choose to TELL the crowd and the media that she was crying again (conveniently before a big primary). Her eyes look no less watery when she sneeze, when she is suffering from sleep deprivation, or when she is entering from a cold and blustery day. What does this mean? It means that she was introduced and just in case people (read the MSM) missed her attempt at emotional manipulation, she took the microphone and made sure that the first thing out of her mouth was to say to the audience (read MSM) was just in case you couldn't tell or missed it I was trying to cry again, so please go and report so that I can try to play on the insecurities and naivete of ignorant woman because it supposedly worked famously the first time. Pure desperation and Clintonian manipulation politics.

If you guys are going to attack Hil at least find something relevant to use against her. Tears??? We all know men and women are a little different in their responses to certain emotional stimulus, fatigue and stress. Our physical differences play a big part in it. I personally cry very easy... but don't piss me off or I just might hand you your head. Hillary is tough and will do what needs to be done. May I suggest some of you review voting records to see just how close both Obama and Hillary are in their stands. My personal choice was Edwards but he stepped down. I will not vote for Obama. If he gets the nomination I will either not vote or will vote for McCain, who we all know will get the Repub nomination. IMHO this election is too important to elect a newbie.

Don"t cry for me Hillary Clinton.
The Truth is you never you never left us.
All through your wild days.
Your mad existence.
You broke your promise.
You voted to kill innocent women and children.
Now I must keep my distance.
And vote Obama.

Next story:

Hillary stopped having her 'periods' several years ago!

Subsequent posts from trolls pretending to be Democrats:


"Ohmygwad, this she-liar will stop at nothing to get elected!"

"I saw evidence on Utube that Billary stopped having her menstrual cycle as yet another triangulation to gain the menopause vote."

"Do you think it was any coincidence that she was born a woman? No! She was calculating even as a fetus. She rejected that Y chromosome so she could win the New Hampshire primary!"

"As a life long member of the democrat party, I refuse to vote for anyone who has pap smears. Pap smears contribute to the deaths of millions of Iraqi childrens. Rarely is it asked: is Iraqi children safe from pap smears?"

Allright, I wasn't sure that Hillary's crying was entirely fake in NH, but now I know it was.

It is no coincidence that she cried in NH the day before the primary and at yale now, the day before super Tuesday.

Anyone who thinks that's a coincidence is just naive.

After all, emotions are something all of us deal with on a daily basis, are we to understand that she only gets weak enough to let it show right before an election? Also, if we do believe it's authentic what would that mean about her strength to run the highest office?

This shows how desparate she is, she's playing for sympathy, but, she would know more than anyone else, weakness is Not attractive.

As I read in another blog, America is just riding this "American Idol" (i.e. Obama) wave because they are too afraid to accept that a Women can and will do a better job than a man...mainly Obama.

No one can refute the fact that Clinton HAS the drive, HOPE, compassion, determination, and EXPERIENCE to run the country.

After all, you wouldn't want a recent med-school grad operating on you over a doctor with actual years of hands-on experience...would you?!

It's nice to sit here and say...Yay...hope and change and Ted Kennedy but the fact still remains...we need someone who has proven him or her self to get job done.

Barack needs to graduate before he can get in teh ring with the big boys...& girls!

Once again, the meanness quotient is really off the chart here. WTF? You mean you don't want to know Clinton has feelings? I mean, she could have the IRON face of Condoleeza Rice...give me a break. I'm not a great fan of Hillary, but fair is fair. And I am really, really fed up with all the meanness in commentaries. Is meanness taking the place of intelligent discourse? I guess so. Is this the new American way?

Why is she crying is it because she funded the war and found out about Our American service women being raped by American service men and dying of dehydration in 140 degree heat rather than face the possibility of being raped again? No do you care? Would you cry if you were raped by your buddies in uniform while the Command covers it up? And the media covers it up? Would you cry when you can't defend yourself because they are your own brothers in arms? Would you cry then? Or would you vote for your stock portfolio and try to cover it up like Hilliary?

You know something, folks; Obama had me from hello back in 2004. Then after Iowa, Michelle Obama said "Ain't no blacks in Iowa" and then she started conflating Bill Clinton's remarks after New Hampshite to racism. Obama's campaign shamelessly huckstered the whole "Black Candidate" shell game and then blamed it on the Clinton's. That was pure Karl Rove. Some of us saw through and that is why I will vote Hillary in our primary. The Democratic Party is being conned by Reagan-light Ariannaheads.

If I was a democrat I would be very offended by this. This isn't news. It is the worst form of sexism and I am appalled that a supposedly progressive blog would stoop to this kind of petty and meaningless personal attack. I don't like Hillary and won't vote for Obama, but I think tears ARE NOT a sign of weakness in man or a woman. We seem to spend an inordinate amount of time on this type of superficial and irrelevant nonsense.

Totally legitimate & appropriate sentimental scene: evoked memories of youthful endeavors. I'd be surprised and concerned if one didn't get "a bit emotional".... I'm leaning toward the bitch.
