That was rather sad.

"Xerox" redux.

I agree that it was planned and she was just waiting for the right moment to say it - it didn't go over well at all and it was a real cringe-inducing moment and made her look really small and bitter.

it looked self-absorbed and petty. i can't see how they think that helps her. very confused by that one.

Even Rudy never got this humiliating opportunity, Hillary has damaged her political legacy with this debate, the rotor trackers went WAY DOWN real fast with her first 20 minutes.

I'm not laughing, it was uncomfortable to watch.

Tim Russert's questions are tough but fair. That's not going to stop her campaign tomorrow from whining about the unfair treatment she got tonight. They'll be out in full force tomorrow.

I usually dislike Russert, but living in Buffalo, we've all wanted to see Clinton face her campaign lie about bringing us jobs.

Even though I have been supporting Obama, I have always had a good opinion of her as a leader; but she looks pathetic when she lowers herself to the level of a cheap politician. Maybe that is what she is in the end, I didn't think so before but she seems to be doing her best to show us that she is.

I may not be a Hillary fan, but after the Texas debate I actually felt sympathy for her and her predicament in this campaign. I felt like I finally saw that "warm person" that everyone claims to see in private, in direct challenge to the Penn strategy. I actually told people that she had grown on me. I (gulp) liked Hillary after TX.

That was then. This is now. I don't know who the real Hillary is, but if was the Texas Hillary, she needs to start listening to her "voice" and stop listening to Penn and Singer, etc. If the "I don't get that being angry and referencing late-night satire is a poor debate strategy" Hillary is it, well, je ne regrette rien.

A short while ago Hillary had a little Gore facial expression - she shook her head and had a look of utter derision. Do you remember how Gore got blasted for rolling his eyes and making faces? She can't help herself - he's really getting to her.

Is it too late for Tina Faye for President?

Thank God that after tonight Tim Russert won't have Mrs. Clinton to kick around any more

Hillary looks and sounds just like one of those mean Nuns that Tina Fey said she would act like as President. Just what a huge Nation of adults needs. To be treated the way a mean Nun treats little kids.

Shudder shudder, I had a flashback to having been bullied in catholic school by several tyrannical child hating Nuns.

Makes me long for to go back to those traumatic times in my early childhood. Sure thing, Tina!

Is it too late for Tina Faye for President?

Yes, but maybe Obama could pick her for VP?

This might be as simple as who do you want to listen to for the next four years.

I think she made an excellent point, the media has chosen sides and this is bad for its viewers. Please put down the kool-aid if you think the media has been fair to the Clintons.

For the first 15 minutes I kept thinking, "This is exactly like what it's like when my mother-in-law comes for dinner."

"Is it me, or does she sound more strident tonight, and almost on the threshold of shouting. Hillary comes across much better when she speaks in a softer tone. She is making Senator Obama look like the one who will keep his cool during a moment of crisis."

It's not just you -- in the first ten minutes she had me cringing on the couch, fully expecting her to burst through the TV screen and grab/shake me by the collar. (And yes, I did cross my legs.)

does anyone have a clip of the moment? i missed it :(

Carol Soprano,

Thanks for making such a nice point. The audience thought Al Gore had won that debate (he did score all the points) until the press played over and over the rolling of the eyes and sighs and criticizing it for days on end.

Thank you for participating in our media-ocracy. Please continue to the end of the line and we will tell you who your candidate will be. Mr Edwards? Mr. Edwards? I'm sorry, no, you exit through this side door please, yes, the one that goes into the alley.

After this past weekend and last night's outburst/whining -- one must wonder how Hillary will cope with the stress of the Button/Key?
