Stumping in Pennsylvania, Hillary Clinton decided to channel the Great Communicator himself, former President Ronald Reagan. Seems Clinton decided to retell a joke about a boy, a pile of manure and a pony that Reagan had told back during his time in office.

MSNBC had a bit of fun with the video. Watch the clip below:

Thanks H, for telling the most uncomfortable joke ever. Maybe Tina Fay can help you with the delivery next time.

What are digging in that pile of manure for little boy? The little boy reply's, There is a Clinton in here and I am going to find them.

One has to be surprised at HRC recycling a RR joke, but no surprise the delivery wasn't up to Reagan's standards.

Who the heck is writing her speeches? Does anyone know?

Pathetic!

Notice how she flattens her voice into a "southern" accent when she thinks she's talking to yokels? It's really annoying.

And she's always on "send", never receptive, not easy-going, not questioning, not genuinely amused, always scripted, just "sending" her message. That's why her jokes fall flat. If she ever found them funny herself, her enjoyment of them is lost and she conveys calculation rather than humor to many listeners.

Yep, she sure does. "Diggin.' . . and diggin.' . . and diggin.' . . . an' Ahm gonna fine 'im"". So where was she, NC or KY? BTW, did she give the Gipper credit, or was it plagiarism?

Naschkatze

She was in PENNSYLVANIA, and as we all know, Pennsylvanians don't have southern accents, not even the farmers who she thought she was charming.

I will say it now as i said it then. The joke is about as disgusting as the joker. Nancy Reagan needs to sue:-)

I guess she forgot she accused Obama of plagiarism when he used a few lines from his buddy Deval.

I honestly believe the Bowling episode was the moment this campaign ended for her-- the fact that obama showed some pathos by sucking at bowling and she made fun of him for it.

STFU, everyone made fun of him even Obama supporters made fun of him. It was all in fun, stop making a big deal about everything. Also, Obama was out pandering for votes, he didn't show any pathos.

Hillary - keep your senate job because you are no comedian.

Xerox joke - bad

April's Fools Day joke - bad

Manure joke - bad

Running for president joke - really bad!

Too bad you dis'ed Sinbad, he could have given you a few pointers.

Maybe she was channeling Reagan when she said she was dodging snipers.

Not too concerned that she borrowed the joke, but what god awful delivery. Remember how badly Gore was at telling jokes? She takes the top prize. I didn't like Reagan but I have to admit he was good a tthis sort of thing. My understanding was that LBJ was too.

Her attempt at an April fools joke directed at Obama turned out to be a joke on her. It wasn't in the least funny. An A for effort an F for delivery.

Reagan told it m uch better, but then, he had a sense of humor and could communicate.

What I don't get is, how psychotic is she? She's channelling Reagan, the same guy Billary sipped Obama for speaking about? And she used his joke without giving him credit, meaning it's plagiary?

Lady, have you no shame?

Beyond, continues to be beyond reason. 1. She wasn't channeling anyone, 2. I hope you know that Ronald Reagon didn't write that joke, that's a very very old joke. I know you and some of your croonies can't write a post without attacking but you are getting more and more petty by the minute. And it doesn't shine well on you or your candidate.
