Clinton Thinks 'SNL' Skit Sounds Great

ABC News' Eloise Harper reports: Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., came to the back of the plane wearing a bright yellow Rhode Island sweatshirt.

Clinton was shown the "Hillary Clinton Pantsuit Schedule" that is on display in the back of the plane. It indicates that Clinton wears "sunshine yellow" on Sundays. Clinton, sticking with the theme, was doning yellow late into Sunday evening. "It was so spooky when I walked back here today and I saw that (list)" Clinton said.

When asked her reaction to a "Saturday Night Live" skit, a spoof about the most recent CNN debate between her and Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., Clinton admitted that she had not seen it, but said, "it sounds like it was just great, both of them, both of the begining one and the second one. What color was my jacket?" Cinton asked about the jacket her character was wearing. Clinton was informed it was the one with the gold around the collar. "Oh, oh good, its so nice to be a fashion icon."

Watch the VIDEO HERE.

Clinton was prompted to talk about her aide Huma Abedin and her fashion sense. "Here I am on the ropeline working my heart out, and people will be, like, oh my God, she was in Vogue. She was the one who was in Vogue, oh, oh, my God. I am running for president."

Hillary spits out a whole bunch of nonsense. She has conveniently forgotten that there was a SNL skid earlier in which Brian Williams told all the DNC candidates that were ready for debate that they didn't matter, because Hillary was the media's darling, and the media would be interested in Hillary's inaugration speech content already.

If she cries, acts sincere and claims she was proud of being with Obama, apologizes to African Americans yesterday, and today being extremely sarcastic, and still can't get ahead, why doesn't she try quitting? It might just WORK for a change.

I'm amazed that Hillary so called "moment" was actually word for word taken from a speech that Edwards gave. Why would she make a big deal out of Sen. Obama's speech but yet do the samething herself?

And since her moment at the debate she's been fluttering around as those she really was the darling of media and the American people because of these words she that she stole from Edwards. I find her more and more baffling each day and scary to think this Bush clone would ever stand a chance of being our next president.

The SNL skit was way funny, mainly because it was so true. The media may have accepted Hillary as the front runner in the beginning but they NEVER fawned over her they way they have over Obama. He shouldn't get too comfortable because at some point the honeymoon will be over and the media will turn on him like a pack of wild dogs.

firefighter, you are correct re the media. but the blind followers who now say anything bad that comes out about their guy is that horrible hillary will just say it's that horrible mccain. and whatever comes out will be called swiftboating. the true meaning of swiftboating has long since escaped them. now they think that anything other than saying their guy is perfect and right and godlike is swiftboating. so the lemmings will continue to follow. just hope clearer heads prevail.

Hillary is great, and we will be happy when she is President, and there will be lots of SNL skits, but the massive mutli-trillion dollar war expenditure pipeline planned by McCain will be shut off. Obama can run again in 2016 when he finally knows something.

The best political gift of the day for Barack Obama’s campaign has been served up by Iowa’s Des Moines Register, the largest newspaper in the swing state that put the Illinois senator on top in possible head-to-head match-ups in the fall election.


The poll shows Obama ahead of Republican nominee John McCain by a substantial margin, 53-36. A head-to-head match between McCain and Hillary Clinton shows McCain is the preferred choice, 49-40.

I don't think our country could survive till 2016 with Clinton at the controls and would you really want her finger on the button?

I voted for her twice as my state Senator and she has betrayed us first by agreeing with Bush to attack Iraq and secondly she promised to redraw our troops and never did. Now Hillary has excuses why she agreed to war to cover up her mistake.

She says we want someone in the White House that will be ready on day one.....ready for what? Her idea of "solutions" can get ya killed just ask the parents, wives and loved ones of the dead soldiers in Iraq.

Hillarys' solutions are mistakes, no thanks!

I rememeber over a year ago seeing daily little blurbs about barak in a steady drumbeat when he was an unknown. But daily a little blurb would be on most of the major media outlets to keep reminding people he was there a growing phenommena. Then they increased in size from two lines to four and then four to eight but on a near daily basis. The media made this candidate out of thin air in my opinion and how he got such early reportage placements is beyond me. But I knew then they were going to push him big and wondered if they would make the president. Then I wondered who were the people behind this? The editors, the publishers, as it had to come from a higher level than simply the reporters. How can the media pick and make the president like this? And no I am not a hillary or mccain or w supporter. I support pet shelters with homeless dogs and cats. At least they are human.

The empowerment that will happen when Hillary is sworn in for middle-Eastern women is un-imagined. Every Islamic and middle-easterner's home will be having more animated and lively debates will be going on as a direct result of breaking down this last and final barrier and frontier to progress. Unless men start to listen to their wives in the bedroom and in the marketplace, as the middle eastern women gains her new animated voice will be a thing of beauty for each and evryone of us to see!!!!! Heterogenously we must move forward loud sweet and clear.

He is so cocky and arrogant, what does he think his is the new God? Where is the saying walk small tall and gentle kind?

Hillary thinks she is a fashion icon.....LOL.........I guess the bright orange pantsuit she wore yesterday makes some kind of fashion statement

Well, shall we return to the serious stuff?

What about the most recent TEXAS poll for instance:

CLINTON: 43%
OBAMA: 57%

What was wrong with the skit on SNL the last time when they were making fun of Bush and Gore no one seemed to be worried so what is the problem now???

Obama groupies offended I don't see why the skit was more on the stance of the media than Obama.

I love Saturday Night Live. But at the moment I'm more interested in latest OHIO poll:

CLINTON: 46%
OBAMA: 54%


Let's get real, as Hillary said. She is a great Democrat, she ran an impressive campaign, but she REALLY cares about the Democratic Party and its crucial agenda for the years to come, she graciously calls it a day now and endorses the winning Democratic candidate, Barack Obama.

You don't have a believer in Obama to acknowledgde that, you only have to be a voter for a major change in The White House, for an end to the war in Iraq and for a beginning with universal health care for all Americans.

Hillary, people are laughing at you and not with you.

Can you please do the Party a favour by just leaving.

Posted by: Peace | Feb 25, 2008 11:11:48 AM

Hillary On The Button? That worries you?

Obama hit the wrong voting button 6 times, accidentally voting yes or no when he meant to vote the opposite way.

And HE should be trusted with a NUCLEAR button?

Sure.

Leads like that for Obama in an online poll that means nothing.

Latest poll out of Ohio is Clinton 51 - Obama 40.
