Hillary's Awkward and Scripted "CP Time" Joke Proves One Thing For Certain

SHE LACKS JUDGMENT. Bernie is absolutely right. Her experience doesn't amount to a hill-o'-beans if she has this kind of judgment.

Would she go back and do this skit again knowing how the story is blowing up all over the media? Absolutely not. It's a complete and utter disaster and it's going to run until the primary.

This is certainly a "macaca" moment for her.

And worse, it was scripted and practiced.

COMPLETE AND UTTER LACK OF JUDGMENT.

JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH HILLARY!!!!

If Bernie had been involved in a moment like that the screamers from a few groups on DU would be calling him a racist, but since Hilly does it it must be alright.

It's humorously self-depreciating for powerful white politicians to compare their own lack of initiative and decisiveness to that of colored people!

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

I see every post is repeating the latest instruction from Bernie. And then we'll see posts saying the same about the other side repeating "talking points". I think both sides repeat what their candidate/MSM is saying and are not very creative at all.

I had forgotten about that hideous show, he was always mugging it up for the cameras. So embarrassing, truly one of the most cringeworthy photo-ops of his 8 year stint and there are a lot of them.

anywhere in the vicinity of anyone saying anything that is in any way controversial, she is to blame for it? I guess that makes sense, since she is to blame for Obama's policies too. This is idiocy.

The CP Comment was the straight line, which Van Buren (sp?) played by a black man, reacted to.

She delivered the punch line.

What part of delivering the punch line of a gag isn't part of telling the joke?

backwards to defend racism when it comes from the Clintons, but pounce on anything they can find with respect to Bernie.
