Hillary and the bird

Wednesday January 7, 2009

Categories: Democrats

Tucker Carlson shares a priceless anecdote:

In the hour-and-a-half-long session, Carlson entertained the audience on the second floor of Annie Bailey's with an insider's view of the mainstream media, complete with some funny stories about politicians, including one about Hillary Clinton winning over a voter by returning a middle-finger salute.

The vote was from Carlson's television producer, a huge hockey fan whose hatred of Clinton manifested itself when he spotted her in her vehicle outside a campaign event and gave her the finger.

"She dropped her cell phone, flipped him the bird, and as she did, she smiled," said Carlson, recalling an act that immediately won the producer's admiration and his vote.

Seriously, I love that. Makes me like her more. Makes her human.

So, this guy flips and votes for Hillary BECAUSE she shoots him the finger? I think this guy's got issues or something. So much for issues.

Mia: are you talking about the time that Obama scratched his face and Hillary's campaign started complaining that he had given her the finger? I've seen the video footage, and it takes a real stretch of the imagination to see a middle finger salute in that.

"Seriously, I love that. Makes me like her more. Makes her human. "

Okay, square that with your Christian beliefs about how the image of God is intended to be borne in this world.

Look, is it the worst thing ever? Does it make her beyond some kind of pale? Of course not. But seeing this incident in particular as a positive? Can't quite go there with you.

Remind me to not sit next to a lot of these posters on a nonstop flight from Toronto to Sydney.
