Hillary finally used her ultimate weapon yesterday. Acting like a big sissy girl, she summoned up some crocodile tears during a talk in a small cafe in New Hampshire (Washington Post link<\/a>);<\/p>\n

The trigger: a friendly question from a voter about how she stays so put-together on the campaign trail.<\/p>\n

“My question is very personal, how do you do it?” asked Marianne Pernold Young, a freelance photographer from Portsmouth, N.H. “How do you, how do you keep upbeat and so wonderful?”<\/p>\n

“You know, I think, well luckily, on special days I do have help,” Clinton said, initially responding in an upbeat manner. “If you see me every day and if you look on some of the web sites and listen to some of the commentators they always find me on the day I didn’t have help. It’s not easy.”<\/p>\n

But that rare moment of sympathy — in contrast to the beating she has taken in recent days — seemed to then get to her. “It’s not easy, and I couldn’t do it if I didn’t passionately believe it was the right thing to do,” Clinton said. Her voice broke, and her eyes appeared to well up with tears. “You know, this is very personal for me. It’s not just political. It’s not just public. I see what’s happening, and we have to reverse it.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Does anyone believe that crap? She’s had plants in her audiences that posed well-rehearsed questions to her before she responded with well-rehearsed answers. Does anyone really think that this is any different?<\/p>\n

In the Australian Herald Sun<\/a>, the female reporter chalked it up to a grueling campaign;<\/p>\n

AN exhausted Hillary Clinton fought back tears as the pace of US presidential campaigning took its toll on the former First Lady.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now, oddly enough some guys hold up an “Iron my shirt” sign, which gives Hillary a chance to announce that sexism isn’t dead. Michele Malkin<\/a> calls “BS!” and I tend to agree. SeeDubya at Junkyard Blog<\/a> has the same guy holding up the same sign (almost) five years ago. It’s just way too convenient for this sign to show up while Clinton is plummeting in the primaries and she’s suddenly victimized by the He-Man Woman Haters Club.<\/p>\n

She’s trying to drag out the old “victimized Hillary” mask that got her through her Senate campaign in 2000 when mean old Rick Lazio charged across the stage at her.<\/p>\n

It’s the same “victimized Hillary” that declared a vast right wing conspiracy was out to get her husband, and the same victimized Hillary that stood by her man through impeachment. I guess she’s gonna go with what muttonheads who believe that stuff want. As Pam Meister at BlogmeisterUSA<\/a> wrote;<\/p>\n

She\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be dealing with tough and often unscrupulous men (think Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hugo Chavez, for starters) who do not have time for tears and would interpret them as weakness. We cannot afford to have a weak occupant in the White House. Remember Jimmy Carter?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Not to be outdone, though, the AP stumps for Obama by running a picture of a woman crying at an Obama speech;<\/p>\n

Is this what this campaign is coming down to? It’s been about issues that really don’t matter for more than a year – and now it’s about how many cryin’-ass women each candidate can drag out for the cameras.<\/p>\n

Do we want a president who’ll cry when she’s tired? When times get a little rough? The campaign ain’t shit, Hillary – wait’ll you have to face a crisis thousands of miles away against REAL peckerhead misogynists. You, know, the guys that do this;<\/p>\n

Pamela Geller at Atlas Shrugs<\/a> has another post up about REAL misogynists won’t stop at holding up signs, too. I guess this latest bit of theater ties into my post this morning<\/a> about Bret Stephens’ Great (American) Expectations.<\/p>\n

Do you think the mullahs are going to cave to you, Hillary, because you’re a widdle sweepy<\/em> and your voice gets a little weepy?<\/p>\n

And as for you, cryin’-ass Obamafan, that’s called emotions. Emotions have nothing to do with common sense. If you vote for Obama because he made you snivel and snork snot, you’re a bigger dumbass than Barack.<\/p>\n
