Democrats and humor?
John Kerry’s “botched joke” is famous. Now Hillary Clinton demonstrates her sense of humor.
At times yesterday she had the audience roaring with laughter. When asked about how she would deal with “evil” men like Osama bin Laden, Mrs. Clinton paraphrased the question for the audience by saying: “What in my background equips me to deal with evil and bad men?”
After the event many in the room wondered who, exactly, she was talking about. When asked about it later, Mrs. Clinton referenced Osama bin Laden and cited the “mistakes and bad decisions” of the Washington leadership — before blurting out a less scripted answer. “I thought I was funny,” she said. “You guys keep telling me, lighten up, be funny. Now I get a little funny and now I’m getting psycho-analyzed!”
Is it a requirement for being a Democratic candidate for president that you can’t tell a joke, or does it just come naturally to them?
