The Hillary Clinton Laugh-In
When we watched Hillary Rodham Clinton's Sunday-shows tour two weeks ago, we noticed that she answered the questions she thought silliest with a somewhat uncharacteristic burst of laughter. And then we moved on.
The media, it seems, have not. Forget her long-awaited revised national health care plan -- what's with that cackle?
We'll leave it to others to parse whether that Bwah-Ha-Ha (thanks, John Dickerson) is genuine or faux, and to still others on its relevance to her campaign. The ultimate question appears to be: Should the president of the United States have a laugh like that? We don't know -- we've nothing to compare it to.
So please allow us to present: The Gate's first-ever Most Presidential Laughter From A Woman Contest!
By our count, we have five women in the NationalJournal.com newsroom. Below you will find clips of the various whoops and giggles of Mary Gilbert, Gwen Glazer, Jessica Taylor, Irene Tsikitas, and yours truly, Jane Roh. For all you skeptics out there, these chuckles are the real deal -- we're including the laugh porn we used to get us into the mood. Take a listen if you dare, and send us your pick for the Most Presidential Laughter From A Woman Contest!
· Candidate A (Barack Obama on the "Tyra Banks Show")
· Candidate B (Mitt Romney jogging)· Candidate C (TV news segment about a leprechaun)
· Candidate D ("SNL" tribute to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad)
· Candidate E (Again, that TV news segment about a leprechaun)
E-mail your winners here. Results will be announced when this story dies.
