"But those tears also have to be analyzed. They have to be looked at very, very carefully in light of Katrina, in light of other things that Mrs. Clinton did not cry for, particularly as we head to South Carolina where 45% of African-Americans who participate in the Democratic contest, and they see real hope in Barack Obama."

Remember when the media went crazy over her cleavage? I do and I remember a pundit on Meet the Press (a reporter from the WSJ) using almost the exact same words questioning her choice of blouse and the need to analyze her motive for wearing it. Do you also remember how people reacted? There were hundreds of messages of protest sent to the WP and most of the political blogs.

Jesse's reaction to a minor moment when Hillary showed some emotion is churlish and petty. Furthermore, she didn't get emotional over a question about her appearance. The woman asked her how SHE felt, how did she do it and then said that to lighten the moment she asked her about her hair. Jesse's take on the question and its response is disingenuous and it will backfire.
