HILLARY CLINTON

June 3, 2008

Liveblogging Hillary’s Big City Speech, Where She Will Not Quit

by Jim Newell  

Well first and foremost a big fist-bump to old Hillary Clinton, who has won the great state of South Dakota, her 50th state victory of the season, and now she leads Obama by 20 million popular votes and infinity delegates. Why are the media and its blacks trying to push her out of the race, knowing this? Let’s see what Hillary has to say about her Pyrrhic Victory, and beyond.

9:30 — Ha ha, Terry McAuliffe just introduced Hillary Clinton, and then nothing happened, and he walked off and it was silent. Oh look, Hillary and Bill, coming out together. Bill is taking the lead, because he still thinks he is Governor of America.
9:32 — Let’s see what Hillary has to say.
9:33 — Barack Obama is nice, she says, for making people care about politics. Like they did in the ’90s, with the economy being so huge and the safety and the Clintons. Go Clintons!
9:35 — Ha ha OK maybe we shouldn’t laugh, because of Sexism, but the first group she thanks is “wonderful women in their 90s” who couldn’t vote until Hillary ran.
9:36 — CROWD BACKGROUND EXAMINATION: Left to right: Gay photographer, Walt from Lost, a black gal with turtles on her shirt, Tony Soprano, fair-skinned Puritan pilgrim (from England), YO MAMA.
9:39 — “Every vote was a prayer for your country.” Ken Layne writes, “I never even hated REAGAN like this.”
9:40 — Whoa whoa whoa, shellshock! She’s talking about issues for the first time in 20 years, and four debates. What did she thinks about those, the various issues? Oh, independent energy, to save Earth, her adopted planet. Getting health care to the earthlings. She has seen, through her alien goggles, the humans that do not have Insurance. She will get them this “Insurance” they crave.
9:42 — She is very certain that her supporters have been “invisible.” Well sometimes, Hillary, the whiteness blends in with the clouds? If you’re looking from a certain angle? We don’t know, at all, what the hell she is saying.
9:44 — She says she’s been saving America’s Health Care for 16 years, ever since that horrible episode in American history when she personally ruined any chance of reform for 16 years.
9:47 — She is talking about old dying humans giving her roses when she visits them in the hospital, where they are dying.
9:49 — She says, directly, that she will not be making any Decisions about the future today, the day that she has mathematically, incontrovertibly lost the election. Then she begs for Internet money.
9:50 — Bill Clinton is a volcano coated in snow, somehow.
9:51 — She’s making up an anecdote from yesterday, about a gal who’s working three jobs and has no health insurance. Hillary calls this shameful. That she’s not working four jobs.
9:52 — 9/11! Drink!
9:53 — Well, she’s done. It seems pretty obvious that she’s using her leverage to force Obama to let her take over health care reform. Go for it, killer.

…at the end of “Fatal Attraction” after Glenn Close had been drowned in the bathtub, didn’t she come back to life? I’m just saying!

loquaciousmusic June 3, 2008 at 9:33 pm

Here we go.

And around the country, another ovary goes dry.

AngryBlakGuy June 3, 2008 at 9:33 pm

…WoW, isn’t she suppose to be screaming “IM MELTING, MELTING, MELLLLLLTING!!!”

Smoke Filled Roommate June 3, 2008 at 9:33 pm

Hmmm, my boyfriend was right in not celebrating until she actually concedes..

loquaciousmusic June 3, 2008 at 9:33 pm

I’m listening for people booing. Are they booing? Do you hear anything?

Black Cat June 3, 2008 at 9:34 pm

I think Hillary just vomited in her mouth as she called Obama her friend.

AngryBlakGuy June 3, 2008 at 9:34 pm

…did she just say something positive?! Somebody quickly check the thermo-stat for HELL!!!

Pacodenero June 3, 2008 at 9:34 pm

Fire Hillary!

chidem June 3, 2008 at 9:34 pm

The blue dress will haunt the Clinton’s forever.

graceless* June 3, 2008 at 9:35 pm

She didn’t win.

Sean O June 3, 2008 at 9:35 pm

CONCEDE! JUST CONCEDE!

two syllables: con and cede.

concede! do it! Hell’s Kitchen is coming back on soon!

The New New Plan June 3, 2008 at 9:35 pm

“For all they have accomplished” which I shall not name. Nice move, Hillz.

Spence June 3, 2008 at 9:35 pm

You aren’t supposed to patronize the winner when you lose. Then again, patronizing black folks is the American way…

ronaldpagan June 3, 2008 at 9:35 pm

I love this “what a long strange trip it’s been” tone.

And to quote my sister, “Stop chanting her sad, sad name.”

loquaciousmusic June 3, 2008 at 9:35 pm

If you’d like to watch Icehouse’s “Electric Blue” in honor of tonight’s pantsuit, click here.

Spence June 3, 2008 at 9:35 pm

Plugging her web site? Still?

junkscience June 3, 2008 at 9:36 pm

I can’t watch. She makes me nervous.

El Bombastico June 3, 2008 at 9:36 pm

Blegh. She’s still plugging the website? I guess that debt ain’t gonna pay itself off.

NotUrEvryDayWEzl June 3, 2008 at 9:36 pm

I’d like her more if she were wearing her Tasha Yar pantsuit.

graceless* June 3, 2008 at 9:36 pm

HRC sucks.

msvainfl June 3, 2008 at 9:36 pm

Bill’s face was so red when they came out, I believe they missed their cue because he was calling someone a scumbag

Spence June 3, 2008 at 9:36 pm

OH FUCK SHE’S STILL THE STRONGEST CANDIDATE! HILLARY SMASH!

loquaciousmusic June 3, 2008 at 9:36 pm

There’s a lot of bitter in that room, methinks.

Smoke Filled Roommate June 3, 2008 at 9:36 pm

90-year-olds, handmade signs, cat ladies..

ronaldpagan June 3, 2008 at 9:36 pm

Is she fucking kidding me with this shit? LADY, you cannot be president anymore!

swizzard June 3, 2008 at 9:36 pm

Way to pimp out Chelsea in that pencil skirt, misogynist.

Black Cat June 3, 2008 at 9:36 pm

The black guy behind her looks really bored.

edoublep June 3, 2008 at 9:37 pm

wow.. that crowd looks rough. this is gonna get ugly.

buddha_barbie June 3, 2008 at 9:37 pm

Actual comment from BlogHillary:

“The pieces of glass – shattered
Scattered across the floor
Women rise up the ladder
Female bondage – no more

A goddess leads the way
Shining in the light
Go, Hillary, Go
Don’t give up the fight”

I can feel my ovaries shriveling up like plums in harsh sunlight.

loquaciousmusic June 3, 2008 at 9:37 pm

I appreciate that she’s still throwing around the “more votes…in history” figure, which is bullshit.

AngryBlakGuy June 3, 2008 at 9:37 pm

[re=5513]El Bombastico[/re]: …no it isn’t! Her dumb-ass supporters will!!!

Cicada June 3, 2008 at 9:37 pm

Ack! Guy in “Every Vote Counts” shirt should be careful about throwing the Sieg Heil salute. With the shaved head, he gives off a “hardworking” vibe.

Godless Liberal * June 3, 2008 at 9:37 pm

I want someone to club her in her fucking mouth every time she trots out the “most primary votes ever” line.

Pacodenero June 3, 2008 at 9:37 pm

Run Hillary!

chidem June 3, 2008 at 9:37 pm

The candlestick maker!

Spence June 3, 2008 at 9:37 pm

She’s just fucking crazy. Just, crazy.

confusionanddelay< June 3, 2008 at 9:37 pm

Oi vey the bullshit popular vote thing. asshole. No vp for you, sweetie.

loquaciousmusic June 3, 2008 at 9:37 pm

The butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker…

ronaldpagan June 3, 2008 at 9:38 pm

That black dude behind her looks so uncomfortable about being there. I wonder how much they paid him.

pattycake June 3, 2008 at 9:38 pm

CNN.com: stream can not be reached.

So close, but the stream can not be realized. One more stream to cross.

I have a stream.

HottMcClellan June 3, 2008 at 9:38 pm

She can’t want to be vp, right? This speech is winning her no favours.

superfecta June 3, 2008 at 9:38 pm

Even when the pundits and the naysayers proclaimed week after week that this race was over, you kept on voting….

…for Barack Obama.

HairyIckey June 3, 2008 at 9:38 pm

OMG I seriously need to show both the political and sexual light to that girl over her left shoulder.

bitchincamaro June 3, 2008 at 9:38 pm

this shit sux

Delicious June 3, 2008 at 9:38 pm

Yes she can!

floraway June 3, 2008 at 9:38 pm

You can tell she is in New York. That is her best-looking audience in months. No one with a sticker on their forehead, no one with boxing gloves, and no one looking like they live in a cabin in the backwoods. It must be nice to be home.

loquaciousmusic June 3, 2008 at 9:38 pm

These people are delusional. Aren’t they watching MSNBC?

Godless Liberal * June 3, 2008 at 9:38 pm

Okay, how long were these people standing around in that tiny room? Were they completely cut off from the outside world, and from every single news outlet in the world saying it is over for her?

ronaldpagan June 3, 2008 at 9:39 pm

Hillary ARE YOU REALLY STILL DOING THIS?

No you can’t!
No you can’t!
No you can’t!

I mean, like, he literally clinched the nomination, you psycho. Even Huckles resigned when that happened to McCain. You are worse than Huckles. How’s it feel?

Jim Newell June 3, 2008 at 9:57 pm

GAH! somehow the wordpress turned off comments! OMG SORRY.

AngryBlakGuy June 3, 2008 at 9:59 pm

[re=5539]HairyIckey[/re]: …you don’t know how many points you lost on that one! Everyone knows that a girl that looks like that; you NEVER eva, eva, eva admit to wanting to have sex with(you just do it and deny it)!

AngryBlakGuy June 3, 2008 at 9:59 pm

…maybe John McCain should have had his pep rally in conjunction with Hillary? Because her group walking dead senile old bags are 4 times as lively as his!!!

Sean O June 3, 2008 at 9:59 pm

WTF. I can’t think of anything else to say.

Even mydd.com is saying it was stupid. lordy!

AngryBlakGuy June 3, 2008 at 10:00 pm

[re=5655]Jim Newell[/re]: …I was just organizing the INSURRECTION!!!

Let me comment, puh-lease!

William Tecumseh Sherman June 3, 2008 at 10:01 pm

Wait, I missed the first few minutes of the speech- did I miss the classy part of it?

jagorev June 3, 2008 at 10:01 pm

[re=5666]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: Hey! There’s nothing wrong with that pale-skinned redheaded goddess. I would be proud of getting her to acknowledge my existence.

InsidiousTuna June 3, 2008 at 10:01 pm

[re=5655]Jim Newell[/re]: I know! And what happened to Gawker commenting? Did Mommy and Daddy fight? Why are we living at Aunt Wordpress’ house? I’m so confused!

Seriously, last time I was here, Wonkette was Gawker. What happened?

ronaldpagan June 3, 2008 at 10:01 pm

Aaand we’re back! Thanks Jimmy!

nyhfrog June 3, 2008 at 10:02 pm

Uh…you’re mental.

Is this working?

TJBeck June 3, 2008 at 10:02 pm

[re=5655]Jim Newell[/re]: nah, we were just being quiet for a moment.

AudicityofHope June 3, 2008 at 10:02 pm

Yes I can haz commentz?

I wish Hillary would trip into a woodchipper.

Godless Liberal * June 3, 2008 at 10:02 pm

HAH I have defeated your pithy ban hammer. I am back, bitches,

confusionanddelay< June 3, 2008 at 10:03 pm

I’m looking forward to Hillary putting herself forward as a vp candidate. Barry should make her campaign with him for MONTHS while he ‘thinks about it’.

Godless Liberal * June 3, 2008 at 10:03 pm

[re=5684]InsidiousTuna[/re]: Wow.

graceless* June 3, 2008 at 10:03 pm

She can’t be veep, she can’t speak like Teddy, somebody make her go away.

TJBeck June 3, 2008 at 10:03 pm

[re=5679]William Tecumseh Sherman[/re]: Well, if you count clap-clap point-point as classy, yes, you missed it.

nyhfrog June 3, 2008 at 10:03 pm

THAT’S why I like Gergen. He just brought up Nixon’s Checkers speech and how he asked people to write in to tell him what to do.

She is Nixon.

HerExcellency June 3, 2008 at 10:03 pm

That just killed my lovely buzz. I am now very sad.

ronaldpagan June 3, 2008 at 10:03 pm

[re=5666]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: OK. Can I admit that the black lady behind her with the nice haircut was hot? Just to be clear, I would never, ever fuck a Hillary supporter. And to give this some perspective, remember how I would fuck a young Scott McClellan?

wonk_the_heck June 3, 2008 at 10:04 pm

at least i know how STUNNED Icky felt the day of the rules committee.

MSNBC WATCHES CNN WHAT DOES THIS MEAN

masterdebater June 3, 2008 at 10:04 pm

[re=5679]William Tecumseh Sherman[/re]: I listened to the whole thing. I missed it too.

ronaldpagan June 3, 2008 at 10:05 pm

Smoking a post-Hillary-taking-it-up-the-ass cigarette. Am I the only one who’s gonna be a puddle of tears after Hopey’s victory speech?

PS: Hillary’s crying this time at least seemed sincere.

HairyIckey June 3, 2008 at 10:05 pm

OMG Carville, you alien looking schill…

ivenson June 3, 2008 at 10:05 pm

Fuck…I mean…fuck…..

An army of 18 million pant-suited flying monkeys has been released to war.

AudicityofHope June 3, 2008 at 10:06 pm

Bill + Hillary + Obama = Bill + Hillary

Cicada June 3, 2008 at 10:06 pm

Hillary as veep would be damaging if only because all of the nasty crap she said on the trail. It’s a ready-made attack ad.
I don’t want to spend the rest of this campaign talking about Clinton drama!

ronaldpagan June 3, 2008 at 10:06 pm

[re=5696]confusionanddelay<[/re]: No he should disabuse her of the notion early. I never want to see her stupid face again.

Domestic Goddess June 3, 2008 at 10:06 pm

i’m glad i had a case of wine nearby while watching this.

1974 (again) June 3, 2008 at 10:06 pm

Visually reading through these comments are a mess. The 30 word lines, the no definition between the commenters names. Please Wonkette, make this better to look at!

And yes, I have a familiar feeling about Hillary’s speech.

masterdebater June 3, 2008 at 10:06 pm

Tim just said that a women and an “African American” would be too much change at once….Sorry Condi, no president for you!

Over the roar of the crowd in New York came a louder boom, the sound of Michelle Obama yelling, “That BITCH!”

Godless Liberal * June 3, 2008 at 10:07 pm

Well, I was right that Michelle would be wearing neon something.

Mista Eko June 3, 2008 at 10:08 pm

I have such a hard crush on Tom Brokaw. God, he’s hot. He makes Matthews look even more spazzy…

18 million votes tucked behind the bottle of hand lotion and reading glasses in her nightstand…This bitch is just gonna nag Hopey to death until he gives her Veep, isn’t she?

HairyIckey June 3, 2008 at 10:08 pm

Yeah Anderson Cooper! “Let’s listen in, let’s listen…to 20 thousand people having a simultaneous orgasm”

Godless Liberal * June 3, 2008 at 10:09 pm

It is fantastic that the Obamas fist-pump each other. I do not know why but that made me love them both even more.

ronaldpagan June 3, 2008 at 10:09 pm

Oh Hopey & Michelle kiss + fist pound. I just came. I bet it won’t be the last time during this speech either.

Chuck Fildren June 3, 2008 at 10:09 pm

Why won’t hillary just go away? please, for the love of god, just leave. No one under 90 wants you here. Stop making me hate you!

TJBeck June 3, 2008 at 10:15 pm

“I want the 18m people who voted for me to be respected…

OK, lets see, the 72% who say they’ll vote for the democratic nominee, sure. Respect. The other 28%? Yea fuck you. Other than race or spite, I can’t think of a substantive issue that would cause someone to do this. If you cared one bit about the major issues of Hillary’s platform – universal health care, getting out if Iraq, strengthening the middle class – you wouldn’t give McCain a second thought.

DoctorCulturae June 3, 2008 at 10:16 pm

No mention of Madame de Sade yet.

DoctorCulturae June 3, 2008 at 10:19 pm

And there you have it! No VP Hilbot. Try to box me in babe?! NO WAY! I box you in!

EnBuenOra June 3, 2008 at 11:14 pm

Yeah, the Hillary obsessives can keep talking about “their” 18 million and bullsh*t “popular vote” totals using Bush math.

After tonight, Barack Obama is the Democratic candidate and the polls will show what always happens — Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents start to support the actual Democratic nominee rather than the one who came in 2nd.

Keep it up. Keep on screaming to your dwindling following that they must, they simply must keep following you.

bertha June 3, 2008 at 11:41 pm

did anyone notice the annoying brown-with-neon-green-script hillary-shirted gay dude recycled from like kentucky? why do i feel like her 18 million supporters have dwindled down to two dozen luncatics bussed around to clap limp wristed behind her..
