The Joke’s on Us

Hillary Clinton, the presumed Democratic nominee for the 2016 election, appears to be growing weary of answering, or not answering fully, questions about her use of a private email server during her tenure as secretary of state.

During a news conference on Tuesday in Las Vegas, journalist Ed Henry repeatedly asked Clinton about the server and her email. When asked if she had wiped her server clean, Clinton responded by waving her hand in a wiping motion and saying, “What, like with a cloth or something?”

It wasn’t just the language and the gesture; it was the smirking expression that went along with the answer.

The implication from Clinton: Are you seriously asking me this question? Don’t you know that I’m above these pedestrian matters?

Tuesday’s comments marked Clinton’s second recent attempt to dismiss the email server issue by way of humor. Last Friday, while campaigning in Iowa, Clinton noted, “By the way, you may have seen that I have recently launched a Snapchat account. I love it — those messages disappear all by themselves.”

She's a million laughs; she'll be one of the cool kids snapping off those one-liners to the other inmates during breaks in the prison yard.

Orange is the new pantsuit!

What a pathetic excuse for a candidate for the POTUS. She can't tell the truth and doesn't want any questions asked of anything she does. Well we don't really want to hear the answers anyway, it would be nothing but more lies. She has lied so long, she thinks she is above everyone. I hope her days of lying are about to catch up with her and she can wear that orange pantsuit for a very long time.

Not funny at all. Sad part is there will bbe too many partisan voters rather than problem solving votes.

Twenty plus years in politics and not an outstanding accomplishment to back her. Twenty plus years in politics and a trail of dead people and non-stop lies and arrogance.
Let's just let this sorry excuse for a presidential candidate slip into obscurity.

She's quickly approaching, in my mind, being named a word that I reserve only for the most vile and selfish of females of our species.
