So what do you suppose was up Hillary's butt tonight?

[Obamarama]

Just watched Ted Kennedy's speech on C-SPAN. Anyone else catch Hillary looking very much like she was not amused. WTF?

[jeff30997]

1. I guess Ann Coulter pinched her butt in the ladies room.

[lpbk2713]

41. Did security really allow Annthrax in the "ladies" room?

It should really have its own litter box.

[librechik]

2. tired? also, speech a bit heavy on the bombast

ah well. He's the man anyway.

[eek]

3. hey, yeah - just saw a cutaway after the speech

she was with Mccauliffe.
She did look like Ms Grumpypants

[lancdem]

8. Maybe they were talking about Ralph Nader

crashing the convention (just kidding).

[freetobegay]

4. Where did you get your degree in reading faces?

:eyes:

[Old and In the Way]

15. Good one!

:-)

[ronnykmarshall]

5. I saw her clapping and smiling

so WTF back at ya.

[lancdem]

6. Was she supposed to be amused?

Ted's speech wasn't intended to be light-hearted.

[Obamarama]

13. I meant "amused" as a figure of speech...not literally.

When I saw her on the cut-aways, she looked like she was pissed off about something. If you all saw her smiling and laughing, I believe you. My intent of my post was to see if anyone else saw the same thing I did.

[Cha]

7. NO, when I saw her she was smiling and clapping...

and this was when Kennedy was on.

[GOPisEvil]

9. Yeah, that's what I saw...

:shrug:

[Trajan]

10. It's rather dicey .....

to claim to 'know' that she has specific feelings from a quick TV camera shot ....

Perhaps someone stood on her toe ? ...

Perhaps she lost her car keys ? ...

Careful ...

[Eric J in MN]

11. The crimes of the Bush Administration are a serious matter (nt)

nt

[supernova]

12. Wouldn't read too much into it

unless you can read her mind. Perhaps she wasn't thinking anything as sinister as you seem to imply.

[Obamarama]

16. Christ, I'm sorry I brought it UP.....

I wasn't implying anything "sinister." Just thought she looked annoyed. I love the woman...not trying to bash her or anything.

Just curious if anybody else picked up on it or not. Period.

[mellowinman]

30. Why start threads

speculating that the Right Wingers are right to think Hillary has something "up her butt?"

Please explain the GOOD that does.

GO!

[gauguin57]

14. Now, I'm not going to rip Hillary ...

... but she really does have to look more enthusiastic when there's such a good chance the camera will be on her. I saw her once at the end of Ted's speech and she was doing the "big heavy sigh and tepid clap" routine.

Don't flame me ... you know I love Hillary. ... but they keep printing pictures of her falling asleep or rolling her eyes at very inopportune times. I'm sure she's tired (I'm sure she and Bill have been up all night schmoozing with the faithful!!!) ... but the convention's only four days long ... and she won't be there all the time. She just needs to remember that the camera will seek her out at her most bored ... and not give anyone any ammunition.

Frankly, the same goes for the delegates. I'm sick of the camera panning over people chattering away, not paying attention, wandering around or looking bored when our big Dems are speaking -- people wandering around and smiling behind the ministers WHILE THEY'RE doing the benedictions ... it just doesn't look good. We've got a great convention here ... let's show the country how we feel about it!

Not that anyone is seeing any of this unless they're watching C-Span!

[TexasProgresive]

18. I heard an interview with Barak Obama today

the interviewer was asking if he was nervous about giving the keynote. He is but said being at the convention last night taught him that few are listening. He could say anything at all.

[goclark]

45. Obama knocked her out-she loved his speech!

[mongo]

17. That's a loaded question, begging for a sarcastic response

but I will not fall to temptation.

I can't remember when it was last night, but they cut to her when someone else was speaking and she had a really weird expression on her face. Really I think she was probably reacting to someting other than Ted's speech.

[Stew225]

19. When the camera caught Hilary looking grumpy

she was deducing in her head where Big Dog was and what he was doing.

[lancdem]

22. He's on his way to Arkansas for more of his book tour

no mystery there.

[DemWitch]

20. So, like she is supposed to be Mrs. Perky 24/7?

Maybe she was tired, had a headache, saw Monica, or the crab cakes she ate at the party last night were causing some discomfort. Imagine a camera being on you, or any of us 24/7... I'm sure we all would have some not so pretty moments...

[LiviaOlivia]

21. What's up with all these women bashing threads tonight?

Glen Close, Hillary, Maria Shriver. Who next?

24. And she was looking bored AGAIN

during Dean's speech. Sorry, but that's the fact, Jack!

I'm not asking her to be perky 24/7 ... JUST DURING THE CONVENTION!

[progressivebydesign]

25. Love Hillary.. but she does look bored or tired tonight..

..I have a feeling she's just tired. It's unfortunate that they keep panning to her when she's looking as though she'd rather be anywhere else. But.. who really knows what's going on with someone when we look at them, she could be sick, or tired, or worried about something.

[Catherine Vincent]

26. You'll have to excuse some of us Clinton fans.

We're just jumpy because of all the freeping going on of late. I know you didn't mean anything (hint your post count). Also, I think if you wouldn't have put WTF at the end of your post, you wouldn't have received some of the responses you did. I haven't watched any of it tonight but it just goes to show that when Hillary smiles, the whole world smiles. When she frowns, the whole world frowns too. She just look better when she smiles.:-)

[Obamarama]

27. Well, I assure you I'm not "freeping".........

I for one, want to see Hillary up on that stage in 08' or 12' accepting the nomination!

[fairfaxvadem]

28. Dang you all, ease up already.

Hillary carries a hell of a lot of water for this party. She was sharing what appeared to be a glass of champagne with Chelsea and looks completely wiped out. She was probably in bed at 1am and up by 6am. These are long four days. AND she still has a day job to stay on top of, even though recess basically started this week.

[Catherine Vincent]

29. They just showed a quickie of Hillary applausing at Teresa

after she said women can be looked at as smart as men. She wasn't smiling very much. But I really think she doesn't want to smile all the time. She's trying to keep the smile lines from appearing.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

31. Dang

how does everyone know her stomach doesn't hurt or something? Or she has a horrible headache? I get them and it's hell.

[mellowinman]

32. This thread sucks

I think its stupid.

Why waste time on bullshit like this?

Jeez!

[Obamarama]

33. Well, you've posted TWICE to it, so answer your own question...

[mellowinman]

34. Make it three times

and its a sucky thread.

Why trash Hillary tonight?

[JI7]

35. there seems to be something up the asses on some on du

who seem to always look into something that isn't anything. the same was done with jesse jackson .

[Momma Mia]

36. Ooh! ... Just my opinion

But ... during Tereza's absolutely fantastic speech, :toast: ... Hillary looked totally miffed and somewhat jealous!

Oh well!

Yeah Tereza!!! YOU GO GIRL!!!

[latebloomer]

37. Yes, she did

She looked grim. Jealous? Sounds like a definite possibility.

[mellowinman]

38. That's ridiculous

How does one "look jealous?"

Why are you reading things into Hillary, based on how she looks?

Why not just talk about Al Gore's Earth Tones?

[indigobusiness]

39. Probably weapons of mass destruction...

Looked to me like she was looking for any excuse to fire one off.

[WinterStorm]

40. Maybe she was exhausted

People can't always be smiling all of the time.

She probably had an off night.

[Only Me]

42. She looked tired and I noticed stiff getting up and down- probably

some arthritis pain . Cause that is just how I look after a few minutes in the same position. After all she is probably in her late 50's early 60's by now.

[DemWitch]

43. getting your ass kicked

unnecessarily for 14+ years by the talking heads will cause anyone to have a sore backside...

[nomatrix]

44. I was thinking the same thing

when Teresa was speaking, it looked like security was moving in on someone. Everyone was looking over their shoulder, including Hillary. Where was Hannity? It could have been someone mouthing off, and nothing else.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

46. Pocket Rocket? Or maybe a Slim Jim?

Sorry, I couldn't help myself...
