The Irony Involved In Hillary's Unfortunate Remark
She was discussing people trying to "force her out" of the race and how she "just does not understand it".


This is the context of her "gaffe". Not understanding why some people want her to stop campaigning.

Do you think she understands now?












I do

2. No.
She doesn't understand why what she said was outrageous and offensive.

3. She has foot "in" mouth disease.
Seems like she is always putting her foot in her mouth and can't figure out how to stop!

4. Unfortunately, NO!
She's having a terrible problem understanding that she's NOT GOING TO BE THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE THIS YEAR!

11. Like McGovern is quoted in the Matt Taibbi article in Rolling STone..
"Sometimes," says McGovern, "the candidate is the last one to know it's over."

6. More Irony for the Hillster...
She was hanging around waiting for Obama to make a gaffe, and she ended up making one!

Sweet!

Ha, sometimes I really think there might be a God.

7. Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) made a bold attempt at damage control today
Hillary Rejects, Denounces Self



Responding to a chorus of outrage touched off by her comments about the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy, Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) made a bold attempt at damage control today by distancing herself from herself.

Many political observers had assumed Sen. Clinton would respond in some manner to the controversy she had created with her comments, but few expected her to throw herself under the bus.

At a rally today in South Dakota, the New York senator said that the comments she made were "totally unacceptable," adding, "I hereby reject and denounce myself."

Attempting to reassure her dwindling base of support, she said that her comments "have no place in a political campaign, and the person who made them will have no role in my administration."

Sen. Clinton also offered an explanation for her comments about the late Sen. Kennedy, telling the crowd, "I am still suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of my service in the Bosnian army."

While early reaction to her latest comments was mixed, Clinton aide Terry McAuliffe called the speech "a home run."

"She came out today and said she was disgusted and appalled by Hillary Clinton," Mr. McAuliffe said. "That puts her in the mainstream of American opinion."

Sen. Clinton's decision to throw herself under the bus also drew praise from her husband, former president Bill Clinton, who joined in rejecting and denouncing her.

"When I heard her comments about Bobby Kennedy, I thought, wow, somebody in her campaign said something idiotic and this time it wasn't me," he said.

12. No the irony is that she's now forced herself out opening her big mouth.

13. She was talking about not understanding why she should stop, while invoking RFK's assassination
It seems ironic (to me) that she can provide a perfect example of why she should suspend her campaign while discussing how she does not understand why she should suspend her campaign.
