"You cannot explain to me why we have not captured or killed the tallest man in Afghanistan," she said.<< If that's the sort of stuff Hillary Clinton and her writers plan to use to win the White House in 2008, the Democrats can save themselves a lot of time and money by going ahead and phoning in their concession speech right now. >>"Two weeks ago, [White House political director] Karl Rove ... was telling the National Republican Committee 'Here's your game plan, folks, here's how you're gonna win -- we're gonna win by getting everybody scared again,'" Clinton said.<< I'm no Rove fan. But unless that is a direct quote from him, that sort of loose-cannon accusation is no better than the sort of whisper campaigns Rove has been accussed of. It's starting to look like 2004 all over again, with Democrats snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. >>"We've lost two elections and we lost them on the issue of security," Clinton told the United Auto Workers convention in Washington. Republicans "are doing it to us again," she said.<< If that's so, it's because of silly statements like the two previous ones. She has no one to blame but herself for playing right into the GOP's plan by making kooky quips.

Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan It may be a joke, but at the same time, it's meant to be a shot at the adminsitration, suggesting finding bin Laden shouldn't be this difficult. Is she suggesting she'd have an easier time finding him? And, yes, I remember President Bush joking about not being able to find WMDs. With soldiers dying on the battlefield, I found it just as tasteless.
Originally Posted By friendofdd I think she meant it to be a joke. I've watched it several times on tv, and it looks as though she doesn't know how to tell a joke. She comes across as angry and mean. People don't always laugh when jokes are delivered that way.
Originally Posted By bboisvert I've heard others tell that same joke, but much better. It's usually something like, "We can find someone buried in a hole on a farm, but we can't find a 6'5" man connected to a dialysis machine in the middle of the desert." She should leave the "comedy" to the professionals.
