Taking this whole reconciliation thing too far?
Hillary does Tyra, touching on the King flap and, poignantly, on the isolation of the White House.
And this:
TYRA: . . . If you were a contestant on a reality show, would you rather be on Dancing with the Stars, American Idol, or America's Next Top Model?
SENATOR CLINTON: In my dreams I would be on America's Next Top Model but in reality I would have to chose my limited talents and of them dancing is better than singing. You do not want me to sing.
TYRA: What type of dancing do you do? Do you do hip-hop? Can you do the Soulja Boy or the Spongebob dance?
SENATOR CLINTON: I have heard of those . . . I think that is a variation of what I did like 30, 40 years ago.
TYRA: My mother says the same thing.
SENATOR CLINTON: Everything gets recycled and gets a different name and
slightly the hip action or shoulder action, whatever it is. I think it would have to be Dancing with the Stars, especially if I could have one of those really good partners.
Full transcript after the jump. The show airs Friday.
GETTING EMOTIONAL BEFORE THE NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY
TYRA: Senator Clinton got a lot of attention recently when she showed her vulnerable side in New Hampshire. That has been everywhere. Everybody is talking about it and when I was watching you I was like I have been there. How many women here have been there when it is just like, the pressure gets so much and you just break? I'm curious to know when you went home, what did you think about that? Did you feel weak?
SENATOR CLINTON: No, because what happened, was so touching to me. This woman said, "Well, how do you get up in the morning?" It just struck me, how do any of us get up in the morning? How do we keep it together, how do we do what we have to do, and there was such a moment where it wasn't sort of me on one side of the table running for office and everybody else out there. It was us together. It really did make me emotional because that is when I think we are at our best as a country; when we really are honest and real . . . I'm running for President because it really means a lot to me that we give kids the same chance that we had. I don't want that to begin to clear out, and I think that is happening.
I think so many people are feeling really kind of under the gun -- I'm just not making the progress; the health care is so expensive, the energy costs are so expensive, the jobs are not there, the income is not there. That is not the way we work the best so I want to try and make the difference for people.
TYRA: What about you? Do you ever get lonely? Do you ever sit in you room by yourself sometimes and just feel alone?
SENATOR CLINTON: I don't feel lonely but I do feel sometimes isolated. Because when you are in these positions that I have been in, it can be very isolating. It is one of the reasons I put on the dark glasses and the baseball cap and go out of the White House.
President Harry Truman once said that the White House was like the crown jewel of the American penal system because you can feel confined.
