    WHO cares? I thought the Clintons did not want to discuss their private lives what next? Hillary if you were a tree what kind of tree would you be?

    Democrats blew it... Hillary should be in the Whitehouse, not Obama. I'm sure she'd be able to make a decision without taking 3-4 months! I'll bet she resigns and runs in 2012 when Obama's poll numbers drop into the 20s.

    Once again CNN showing that it can outdo the National Equirer, proving once again why liberals get their information from CNN.

    I'm sure Hillary also burps when she drinks alot of soda, but are you going to report about that CNN?

    Does anyone really care? Bill Clinton has had plenty "crushes" since he has been married to Hillary.

    I believe that would be Vince Foster, hmmmm, quite a crush that ended with a bang. I wonder what the last thing through Vince's head was besides a bullet....

    Hillary had a crush.
    Bill had a crush.

    Hillary took a job with an idiot that will take no action.

    Bill was an idiot, but apparently got plenty of action.

    Opposites do attract.

    Wow, what a hard-hitting article by CNN on Hillary Clinton. I bet we never see such a "lovable" and touchy-feely story on Sarah Palin who the liberal press remains obsessed with, and can't seem to stop slamming her constantly. What's the matter, are you afraid of a strong and smart conservative woman? I think we know the answer to that.

    Hillary needs to return in 2012 and run against Obama. This is the dems only chance at keeping the White House.

    I kinda like the human interest stories on the ticker every now and then. Nothing wrong with a little break from the very heavy issues that dominate this site the majority of the time.

    Good to see Mrs. Clinton in a light hearted moment...

    November 13, 2009 05:28 pm at 5:28 pm |
  27. mjm

    WOW.....they are really putting the Sec of State to work.

    Why didn't she go on the Asian trip?

    I think she jumped to conclusion when Obama asked her to be her secretary..............he didn't say anything about state.

    November 13, 2009 05:30 pm at 5:30 pm |
  28. Walter G

    The bill Mrs. Palin is refering to was over $50,000.00 as I seen it with my own eye's. The McCain Official needs to quit lying. His lies will not slow down the large amout of sales this book will generate.

    It KILLS the Republicans when NO ONE is paying attention to them and their FAILED agenda.

    So when CNN reports this they just HAVE to have a cow over it.

    How very predictable

    Common on Repugs cue your hatred for a REAL strong woman..
    And quit with the Obama Socialist thing so OLD news...he was handed
    a big, hot piling heap of dog poo and expected to make creme brulee in two weeks...I'm giving him time and have already seen the changes in our country and the economy...but the Repugs CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH...

    Go back to supporting the likes of Carrie -playswithherself- Prejean.......and the other one who can see Alaska from her house

    I love Hillary! Apparently, many of the people in other countries that she visits love her, too, and the young people like to ask her questions like this one. Last time a question like this was asked was in an Asian country, I believe, as well. She is free, easy, authentic, and can relate well to young people.

    What's the matter, are you afraid of a strong and smart conservative woman? No, show me one! ha ha, that's a joke. Remember jokes?

    I'm sure there are lots of smart conservative women its just that Palin isn't one of them. Anyone that thinks Sarah Palin is smart, isn't too smart themselves. If she is the slvation of the Republican Party, bring her on. Personally, I think she'll get her head handed to her in a national campaign...again.

    What a pleasant and charming interlude with Mrs. Clinton. It's nice to see that she is able to be relaxed and have a bit of fun with her audience and they with her. Maybe we are getting to the time when a woman in an important position doesn't have to be stern and driven every second and not lose her status. More of the old double standard is crumbling – finally!

    It's interesting how many of the sexist comments are from so called "men." What really drives your force to hate Hillary so much? I think I know. You men hate women in general. You fear women who are emotionally stronger and intellectually smarter than you. If you are so smart, what kind of job do you hold right now? Is it more prestigious than
    Hillary's? I doubt it.

    I do not understand how individuals take this blog as a true news story. IT'S A TICKER!!! It's simple, quick-hitting, fluff topics that get people talking for a bit. Is this real journalism – no! But it wasn't intended to be considered true news. But again the people upset by this ticker are the same that swear by FOX News.

    Who doesnt have a crush according to Hillary Clinton, she is speaking the truth putting it as it is. She is definitely one dreamy lady.

    Bush took 3 months to decide on the surge. What hypocrites, some people are. Sending someone else's loved ones into harm's way is serous, would that President Bush took it seriously my family would not be a Gold Star family.

    The fact that she had a crush makes her what..... A normal person? WHY is this something we're paying this much attention to? It's not as if a crush is going to kill her political agenda or the like. I'm pretty sure she has other crushes, like on movie stars. But they are c r u s h e s. HARMLESS!!!! Jeeze, really. How slow was the news day...?

    I think every woman has had a crush on some unattainable man in her life and as Hillary Clinton says, it doesnt make any difference what age you are.I can say this because nobody I know will see it, but I'm an old lady and I have a tremendous crush on Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse. Isn't that wild.. What about you guys? Do you also call it a crush if some cute girl gets stuck in your brain and you can't get her out? This is what we need these days, more love and less hate. Let's "alert the media".

    Mick Jagger? Wasn't he the child molester who had carnal relations with a prepubescent Mackenzie Phillips, after her father had broken her in?

    Celebrities, ultimately, are disgusting. Especially Jagger.

    John....there is a BIG difference between political and relgious ideologies. Having served in Iraq in 04 as a platoon Sgt of 90 Marines, I can tell you that we will never change the will of the people in that part of the world. A government doesn't dictate how people think. A religion can and does there...especially in Afganistan.

    How refreshing to hear an accomplished woman speak off the cuff and articulately and not appear air-headed, even though the subject is quite light. Hillary manages to come off with dignity while acknowledging that crushes are common and makes it clear that they are part of the joy of living. Yes, she would have made a fine President, too. I hope the day yet comes when she or another woman equally articulate and intelligent will be President. As for the allegations about Vincent Foster, those are previous smears from the right wing that also brought you WMDs, Swiftboating a worthy Vietnam veteran (a duty which Bush evaded) and a whole lot of federal deficit due to two awful Bush-initiated wars.

    Hillary is a attractive, smart, educated and articulate woman, who would only have a crush on one of the same that's why she married Bill.

    It wasn' t the McCain official who got the number wrong. It was the associated press and they've since recinded that amount to $50,000 down from $500,000. Don't be so quick to hate...

    Geez, if they had asked this of Bill Clinton the video would have been 3 hours long! ANd I doubt Hillary's name would have been mentioned. If hillary had given these types of interviews during the primary, she would have been the nominee and would have svaed to country from the awful pain of Obama.

    I like her alot, I think she's a class act, I believe she's honest and sincere, and she really wants to help ordinary americans live a better life. I also thinks she's very attrative, I don't know what the hell Bill was thinking.

    Nice but she is too 'guarded.' Seeing the giggly faces of her audience should have made her loosen up a little more.

    Still, I wish she was our President.

  83. Just hear sick!

    Even though I'm an independent who voted for candidates of both parties through the years - THIS TIME I gave it my ALL for Hillary (and that means lots of money and time).

    I actually believed that she had priciples.

    How wrong I was when I saw her accept a position under Obama the Imposter

    And now I simply don't care about ANYTHING she has to say - Fabian Rolling Stones, Jaggers - who cares! Hillary Clinton sold out~~~~~~~~~

    I think that Hillary had a crush on Bill too, unfortunately he cheated and cheated and cheated. I feel bad for her because although I disagree with a lot of her political positions, I think that she is basically a nice person.

    Seriously, some of you people are so full of hate you should really seek professional help. It is a shame that the political dialogue in this country has become nothing more than discourse. Many of you who consider yourselves such true "patriots" need to ask yourself the America you represent really is the envy of the world? I think not. I love my country, but I find it hard to love what you're turning it into ... a bitterly divided country.
