[...] And finally: Yesterday, Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) “tried another career on for size: flight attendant.” Playing flight attendant on a chartered 737 carrying her staff and members of the media, Clinton said over the loud speaker, “Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, and welcome aboard the maiden flight of Hill Force One.” She joked that the FAA prohibits the use of electronic devices “that may be used to transmit a negative story about me” and added that the “in-flight entertainment” would be her “stump speech.” (Video here.)

Not funny. Way too scripted and really not funny.

This is so lame. My entire office is laughing at her. Her supporters are cringing. This could be a “Dukakis in the tank” moment.

I cant wait to see what Jon Stewart does with this.

Feigned concern didn’t come across too well. Hey, I have an idea! Let’s try comedy!

All they need to do now is put her in a tank, stick a helmet on her, and the rest will be history.

I guees there is at least one Hollywood writer who is not on strike!

She tries hard to be likable…. What an insult to flight attendants!

She is in denial that those people who fly with her chose to do so at their own risk because they need to make money… they were assigned to follow her around- if it were not so, they would not be there.

She did not like the “Iron my shirt” people… but she is willing to “Get me a drink” crowd…

Pathetic!

Scary

so not funny. scripted and not funny. i bet it was uncomfortable on that flight after that because that totally did not come off well

Gore'08   January 17th, 2008 - 6:18 pm

I wonder how many carbon offsets Hillary is purchasing for each flight. She is destroying our planet. She needs to video-conference all of her events and ride a bike.

Viva Gore! PULL OUT NOW! Viva Code Pink!

The script for her banter is taped to the back of the door on the left side of the video. Another example of Hillary’s phony spontaneity – look at her eyes and the tilt of her head – this nonsense was written for her by someone else. Get over yourself.

It sounded funnier in the news story transcript. Her joke delivery is horrible.

I wonder what this would be like if Richard Nixon did it? lol

Hillary reminds me of the Reese Witherspoon character in the movie Election. We all went to school with someone like her, super ambitious, cunning and constantly working to convince people to “really like her” allah Sally Fields. This stunt totally reinforces this view.

I really do not know what her appeal is to any of her supporters. I think her campaign has it backwards, you do not become more likable by being elected president. People have to like you then you are elected.

At least Obama has that part correct (he is likable).

FAA Regulations   January 17th, 2008 - 8:58 pm

Nothing for nothing but is it not against the law to have someone who is NOT trained in flight safety to use the intercom system and be out of their sits when a plane is taxiing for take off (democratic or republican presidential candidate or not)? Where is the FAA?

So Sad   January 17th, 2008 - 9:18 pm

This is almost as bad as that stupid fake phone call that Al Gore made to Gephardt and Daschle.

Viewers should be issued anti-nausea medication for this one…nice job!

Doctor Visit   January 17th, 2008 - 10:36 pm

Ouch! Watching and listening to her was painful.
Had more fun with my colonoscopy. Got the day off,
got high, took a long nap, woke up laughing.
