"I can!"

Now THAT was funny! :D

Wow. If only she could fix her sagging poll numbers as quickly!

Wasn't this a setup? The punchline was at the end of this show

I thought her appearance was totally leaden. John Edwards stole the show.

Oh look...it's another war mongering imperialist.

I don't think she's a war-monger. I think she's an opportunist and the opportunist thing to do at the time was vote for war.

Oops. My bad. You were talking about Colbert, right? :)

Tira @ 6:

Yea, but the better bit was John Edwards "EdWORDS" -- jetskis! -- and Obama, finally, appearing, and putting Distractions on notice.
Put those clips up, please!

I agree, Edwards and Obama's bits were much funnier, especially Edward's "The EdWORDS".

Which makes her an opportunist war-monger.

I though she did a great job coming on the show even though i can't believe a word she says on the trail and think that she wouldn't make a great president its good to see that at least she is willing to put herself "out there" with Colbert

Hey did anyone see Obama give Clinton the finger.....is that news worthy

Nope. But it's a great example of how the media wants conflict, and will make it up or stretch it just to get it.

Really lame. Is how a man scratches his face an issue voters should care about now?

I wonder what it's like to live in a country where issues that affect us are the issues that are discussed.

Sanitized for consumption.

Really LA Confidential! Cable comedy shows are.... are.... written!

You know, I like you L.A., I really do, but you seriously need to get out more man. Unplug for awhile, head up into the woods and camp in a tent for awhile with some friends, get drunk, do whatever, but seriously, you need to unplug man.

Even choreographed, it still plays bogus. I'll take real experience every time. She would probably do better with a pony or some other princess moment.

I hope the GOP wins the Prez election and gets their Congressional majorities back.

I beseech all working people, especially those making $35,000 to $150,000 to do their patriotic duty and vote Republican.

Wear your flag pins with pride. USA! USA! USA!

We must have more tax cuts for business in these troubled economic times! We need more weapons to defend freedom and to spread democracy!

USA! USA! USA!

It's all Pre-Packaged. This just didn't happen spontaneously.

Dude, it's a comedy show with comedy writers. She didn't just happen to be in the building when the rear projector went out and she didn't just happen to know how to fix it. This was all a skit written by the comedy writers.

Why just this clip? Worst of the three.

EdWords was far, far better.

Obama's portion was just ok.

And it had such a distinct liberal bias. Nothing ever goes wrong on conservative programs. They run like clockwork. A skit like this could never have been done, everyone knows that conservatives are perfectionists who plan ahead and have contingencies for any rare problem.

I guess Obama and Edwards didn't show. That is ashame. Maybe Jon Stewart could invite Hillary and Barrack on and hold as close to a real issues debate as we are likely to get. The MCM clowns have had their many chances, and have blown them completely.

Monica Lewinsky interviews candidates now too?

50 CoIntelPro against “WHINING”

Pointing out the divisive nature of the primary is no more divisive and no more accurate than denouncing those who denounce war as being against the troops.

Dumb. Reminds me of the dumb diner ad.

Obama probably read the script and opted out. Very wise of him.

Colbert is very funny, but this bit is becoming tired.

THE WHOLE SHOW with Hillary, then Edwards, then Barack.

The comments make me sad. It would seem that so many supposed liberals can't stop frothing at the mouth long enough to enjoy something of a break and some silly humour. I found all three sketches--Clinton, Edwards, and Obama--to be somewhat weak but not without their moments, and I am okay with that because they aren't professional comedians. These vitriolic, angry ninnies ought to be attacking the comedy that was the shameful Democratic debate instead of carrying a big, fat chip on their shoulders into this thread.

I agree.

Headline should be, "Colbert Takes First Steps in Reuniting Democratic Party".

Others above are right: Edwards stole the show. So why did you only post Hellary?

Hum, you obviously missed the reaction that the ABC debate received in this forum.

I think a lot of people are frustrated because we have witnessed the manipulation and BS from the MSM and political process. That in this campaign, it seems, the powers that be have given up on pretending and they have obviously picked 2 cocks for the fight they are going to be shoveling down our throats: McCain and Hillary.

Also it gets very tiresome when a candidate has to deal with non-isses propped as such against him: Rev Wright, the Bitter comments, et al.

Yet Clinton gets to make massive gaffes, the 3AM nonsense, making shit up about snipers, and running a scorched earth primary campaign. And she gets to brush every issue with a joke. Have an uncomfortable question to answer regarding your family's gathering of massive amounts of funding from foreign interests? Just laugh about it and brush it off.

You may find this sort of contrived, faux, and humorless jokes in vain attempts at showing "humanity" amusing. Other people, myself included, find it an exercise in depravation.

This is Amerka Nicole! We don't have time to be patient! Convenience or death! ;)

Anyone else find it disheartening that the headlines in the news is trying to rev up the same issues as the ABC debate? And the more Hillary pushes the whole "Obama whining about the debate" the more unpleasant she comes across? Really I wish this was over, I'm getting sick and tired mudslinging from both sides.

why are my posts disappearing, Nicole? I can't even respond to you if you have a link.

I though the bit was cute... humorous. But I think she may be an imperialistic opportunist. How about the thing she said regarding Americans troops being sent into the Middle East if any of the countries there were threatened by Iran? I think that is imperialistic opportunism.

True, there was the debate in the thread regarding ABC's shameful presentation. I suppose I am suggesting that we shouldn't allow for our attention spans to be so short that we quickly forget about the ABC debate in favour of the latest 'thing': who was on The Colbert Report and how they came across. And I especially don't like every other thread being used as an excuse for people to attempt to rip Hillary Clinton to shreds.

I think perspective will show that Hillary Clinton has run a fairly tight campaign, and a very competent campaign. She has been aggressively touring the country, like Barack Obama, tirelessly repeating her message and attempting to sway voters. I'm not at all suggesting that Clinton hasn't made tactical errors, because she has, and one or two of those blunders were awful and even inexcusable. (I will address those in a moment.) Nonetheless, overall, her campaign has been very polished and Clinton has, I believe, demonstrated considerable poise. She simply doesn't have the patience or charisma that Barack Obama does, and this she appears comparatively awful in the eyes of some. This is a bit of an unfair contrast, though, because most politicians would seem wooden when standing next to Barack Obama, and the measure of whether or not someone deserves to be President is not how believable they are when they repeat pablum and catchphrases. Certainly, charisma is a great asset, but it's certainly far from the top of the list of necessary job qualifications.

That being said, yes, I am disappointed that Hillary Clinton has allowed herself to become something of an opportunist in her desperation to beat Barack Obama. Most Obama supporters overlook Obama's snide remarks, or opportunistic attacks (he has also released his share of press statements capitalizing on Clinton's "gaffs"), or divisive statements (such as him stating that he does not know whether or not he could convince his supporters to vote for Clinton should she win, when asked if he will support Clinton should she receive the nomination). So, yes, much of what Clinton has done wrong has been blown out of proportion, as is the case with Barack Obama. You claim that Obama has been the victim of a mainstream media witch-hunt, and I don't at all disagree. The last debate illustrated how eager the hosts were to frame questions in such a way as to make Obama look like a fool unfit to be President. What you don't seem to consider is that Hillary Clinton hasn't been left off the hook in the least. The Ferrero nonsense dominated airwaves for quite a while, and her advertisement about the phone ringing at 3:00 AM was made an issue by the media as well. These sorts of topics were presented to her at the debate as well, and they detracted from the real issues in the same way that the silly questions for Barack Obama detracted from the real issues. Heck, do you not remember how Bill Clinton's comments were taken out of context time and again as to make him appear cynical and racist?

You can be condescending about the "faux humour" and wax indignant and apalled, but it illustrates my point that there are those who selectively choose to take certain matters more seriously than others. Clinton made it a point to poke fun of her own television ad, and you demonize her as though she has been exempted from criticism. In reality, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert have been almost merciless in their mocking of Hillary Clinton, often to the point of seeming one-sided (like many of those who have replied to this thread, for instance). Heck, right after Clinton left the stage, she was immediately ridiculed thanks to Colbert himself! But that's not good enough for some, who think that Clinton ought to be thrown in the Gulag.

The mainstream media hasn't been easy on Hillary Clinton, in short. The only person receiving cozy treatment is John McCain, frankly, and I doubt even you'd disagree that he's being treated as some sort of king. Pundits laugh, offer him donuts, refer to him constantly as a "war hero," ignore his almost entirely absent plans for the country, and go as far as to act as apologists and make excuses on his behalf when he repeatedly claims that Iran is training al-Qaeda troops or confuses the Shiites and Sunnis. That's like going to war with Ireland but confusing Catholics and Protestants! The media has slandered Clinton, and with their work done there they are targeting Barack Obama. When do you think they'll get around to criticizing McCain and asking of him tough questions? Or do you think that that'll occur at all?

You have to understand that for quite a long time, I defended Clinton over Obama, who was more bluster than substance. I eventually became too disappointed in Hillary Clinton, though, and now hold her accountable for her opportunistic attacks. While there are some who will say, 'She has always been an opportunist!' they forget the 1990s when Hillary Clinton was the target of some of the most disgusting comments and attacks by Republicans I have ever seen. And she rose above it with great dignity, impressing Democrats everywhere. Nonetheless, she became associated with folks like Mark Penn (who was fired too late, frankly), who argued that her personality wasn't important and encouraged Clinton to strike like a snake and to focus on her accomplishments and experience. She has used too many of Obama's supposed 'blunders' to attack him, and for that I cannot reward her. That being said, please understand how much it burns me that someone as intelligent, capable, and yes, progressive as Hillary Clinton is doing what she is doing. It is one thing for the Karl Roves of the world to use slippery tactics, because you know they aren't above it, but Clinton knows better.

So, no, Hillary Clinton isn't the Devil, though I can understand why many dislike her (though I'll never understand the vehement hatred some feel, as that really makes me question those doing the hating more than anything else). Regardless, the Democratic Party needs to hang together if the U.S. is going to be saved at all. Does that seem hyperbolic? Consider your economy which happens to be teetering on a brink it won't be able to recover from. Consider that all nations rise and fall. Consider your military, stretched so thin that the U.S. is more strategically vulnerable than before the attacks on 11.09.2001. Clinton's campaign could have been better, and her behaviour could have been better, but she isn't as awful as some would have you believe. Both her and Obama are being assassinated by the press and the rest of us need to use our brains and rally behind whomever becomes the Presidential nominee.

glennser @ 28:

She is an Israeli pandering warmongeror!! Has everyone already forgotten her vote for the Kyle Lieberman admendment? Thanks to that all we need is one false flag attack pretending to be Iranian and we're at war forever. Also listen to her answer about Iran attacking Israel - automatic war is what she's promising, please don't let her in the White House!!
glennser

Excellent observation. We have far too many scenarios that can be easily triggered by false-flag attacks. This one would be begging for a trumped up rationale for war. I hope the closest Hillary gets to the Whitehouse is to visit Pres. Obama.

I thought it was great! Go Hillary!!

Nobody will ever get elected President unless they pander to Israel. It sucks, I hate it too, it's the exact opposite of what to do if you want a more peaceful world, but that's just the way it is. Some of them will suck Israeli dong more enthusiastically than others, but they will all do it.

Hillary (R-Elitist) will do it because it gives her more power, '4 more years' McCain will do it because he truly believes the Zionists are innocent little angels being persecuted by those evil dirty savage ay-rabs, Obama will do it because he has to.

And in case you hadn't noticed, we're ALREADY at war forever.
