Tammy Bruce: HIllary Cries, Chelsea Tries

HIllary Cries, Chelsea Tries

Once again behind or with Barack Obama too close for comfort, Hillary replays the Crying Game. Instead of attempting to counter Obama with better ideas or more inspiring rhetoric, Hillary decides manipulating you is the better option. And New York NOW blathers on about how it's Teddy Kennedy who has abandoned women with his Obama endorsement. Actually, it's Hillary who has abandoned all of us. She did so when she defended and enabled her sexually compulsive husband, and she does so now, pandering to the crowd that only trusts a woman when she's victimized, in pain or otherwise incapable of controlling herself.

Now it's not even enough to have the older Clinton woman injecting pandering emotionalism into the campaign trail. After Chelsea insisted she wasn't going to be involved in order to "protect her privacy" she's proving she's learned a lot from her cynical, manipulative parents.

Chelsea Clinton On The Campaign Trail:...'You're not voting for the Clintons. You're voting for my mother,' candidate's daughter emphasizes.

As the daughter of a former president, Chelsea Clinton has long been in the public spotlight. Now campaigning to become the daughter of a future president, the 27-year-old Stanford graduate is finally ready for her close-up.

In a move that might have been considered unusual even a few months ago, the extremely private Chelsea spent all day Friday stumping for her mother, Hillary Clinton...Chelsea is definitely her parents' child..."There's no one that I love more, that I respect more," a smiling Clinton said of her mother during the day's second stop in Santa Barbara. "She makes the best applesauce. She reads to me still when I don't feel well. I've never doubted that I'm the most important person in the world to her."

When another student expressed concern about voting "the Clintons" back into the White House, Chelsea responded sharply, "You're not voting for the Clintons. You're voting for my mother."

Yes indeed, they've taught her well, haven't they? She's able to deliver the biggest load of Bravo Sierra as smoothly as both of her parents.

Well, apparently the Hillary message has stopped resonating with women voters who, perhaps unlike teenagers and 20 year olds, know that a vote for Hillary is a vote for the Clintons, and we don't like that idea very much.

Funny! but also very sad! She's got so much going for her but her false, undeserved devotion to her parents (parents?? biological. in name only . . . ) will only hold her down. And, Tammy, thanks for the qualification about 20 year-olds-because not all of them (I'm a little bit older) are unaware of the heinousness of "them" being in the white house again . . . I am sorry it's the case but honestly the Clintons are unquestionably in league with evil in all its pride and selfishness.

This woman is a total embarrassment. Hillary Clinton can't stand on her own. She uses her husband for everything, even implementing smear tactics.(Just like the good ol' days). Of course you use what works. If the people of New Hampsire could fall for her schtick, why not try it again!!?!?!? And to hold her up as a woman of independence and strength? What an insult!!

Groan...Chelsea's being groomed to be the next generation of the dynasty...and wed to George P. Bush so that both families can rule forever. ;-)

Dem, it's the perfect campaign gimmick, thanks to Bill. He can play the saxophone while Hillary cries to gain sympathy while violins play a sad song to help her. It's sax and violins. :-)

Anyway, Hillary tearing up again today made me laugh out loud. Republican strategist Cheri Jacobis had the best take on it today on CNN: it was probably a genuine moment but the backstory put it into a different perspective where it couldn't be seen as such. Whether it was genuine or more staged than "Cats" doesn't matter. Hillary ruined the effectiveness of it by being so over the top with it before.
