HILLARY CLINTON

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

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!

  2. loquaciousmusic says at 9:33 pm, June 3rd, 2008

  4. Smoke Filled Roommate says at 9:33 pm, June 3rd, 2008

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

  5. loquaciousmusic says at 9:33 pm, June 3rd, 2008

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

  6. Black Cat says at 9:34 pm, June 3rd, 2008

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

  7. AngryBlakGuy says at 9:34 pm, June 3rd, 2008

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

  8. Pacodenero says at 9:34 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Fire Hillary!

  9. chidem says at 9:34 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    The blue dress will haunt the Clinton’s forever.

  10. graceless* says at 9:35 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    She didn’t win.

  11. Sean O says at 9:35 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    CONCEDE! JUST CONCEDE!

    two syllables: con and cede.

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

  12. The New New Plan says at 9:35 pm, June 3rd, 2008

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

  13. Spence says at 9:35 pm, June 3rd, 2008

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

  14. ronaldpagan says at 9:35 pm, June 3rd, 2008

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

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

  15. loquaciousmusic says at 9:35 pm, June 3rd, 2008

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

  16. Spence says at 9:35 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Plugging her web site? Still?

  17. junkscience says at 9:36 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    I can’t watch. She makes me nervous.

  18. El Bombastico says at 9:36 pm, June 3rd, 2008

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

  19. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 9:36 pm, June 3rd, 2008

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

  20. graceless* says at 9:36 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    HRC sucks.

  21. msvainfl says at 9:36 pm, June 3rd, 2008

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

  22. Spence says at 9:36 pm, June 3rd, 2008

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

  23. loquaciousmusic says at 9:36 pm, June 3rd, 2008

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

  24. Smoke Filled Roommate says at 9:36 pm, June 3rd, 2008

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

  25. ronaldpagan says at 9:36 pm, June 3rd, 2008

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

  26. swizzard says at 9:36 pm, June 3rd, 2008

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

  27. Black Cat says at 9:36 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    The black guy behind her looks really bored.

  28. edoublep says at 9:37 pm, June 3rd, 2008

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

  29. buddha_barbie says at 9:37 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    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.

  30. loquaciousmusic says at 9:37 pm, June 3rd, 2008

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

  31. AngryBlakGuy says at 9:37 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    El Bombastico: …no it isn’t! Her dumb-ass supporters will!!!

  32. Cicada says at 9:37 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    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.

  33. Godless Liberal * says at 9:37 pm, June 3rd, 2008

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

  34. Pacodenero says at 9:37 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Run Hillary!

  35. chidem says at 9:37 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    The candlestick maker!

  36. Spence says at 9:37 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    She’s just fucking crazy. Just, crazy.

  37. confusionanddelay< says at 9:37 pm, June 3rd, 2008

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

  38. loquaciousmusic says at 9:37 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    The butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker…

  39. ronaldpagan says at 9:38 pm, June 3rd, 2008

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

  40. pattycake says at 9:38 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    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.

  41. HottMcClellan says at 9:38 pm, June 3rd, 2008

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

  42. superfecta says at 9:38 pm, June 3rd, 2008

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

    …for Barack Obama.

  43. HairyIckey says at 9:38 pm, June 3rd, 2008

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

  44. bitchincamaro says at 9:38 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    this shit sux

  45. Delicious says at 9:38 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Yes she can!

  46. floraway says at 9:38 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    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.

  47. loquaciousmusic says at 9:38 pm, June 3rd, 2008

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

  48. Godless Liberal * says at 9:38 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    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?

  49. ronaldpagan says at 9:39 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    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?

  50. JimNewell says at 9:57 pm, June 3rd, 2008

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

  51. AngryBlakGuy says at 9:59 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    HairyIckey: …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)!

  52. AngryBlakGuy says at 9:59 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    …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!!!

  53. Sean O says at 9:59 pm, June 3rd, 2008

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

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

  54. AngryBlakGuy says at 10:00 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Jim Newell: …I was just organizing the INSURRECTION!!!

  55. chidem says at 10:00 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Let me comment, puh-lease!

  56. William Tecumseh Sherman says at 10:01 pm, June 3rd, 2008

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

  57. jagorev says at 10:01 pm, June 3rd, 2008

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

  58. InsidiousTuna says at 10:01 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Jim Newell: 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?

  59. ronaldpagan says at 10:01 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Aaand we’re back! Thanks Jimmy!

  60. nyhfrog says at 10:02 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Uh…you’re mental.

  61. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 10:02 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: There must be like sixty of us. Our voices will be herd! [sic]

  62. graceless* says at 10:02 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Is this working?

  63. TJBeck says at 10:02 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Jim Newell: nah, we were just being quiet for a moment.

  64. AudicityofHope says at 10:02 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Yes I can haz commentz?

    I wish Hillary would trip into a woodchipper.

  65. Godless Liberal * says at 10:02 pm, June 3rd, 2008

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

  66. confusionanddelay< says at 10:03 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    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’.

  67. Godless Liberal * says at 10:03 pm, June 3rd, 2008
  68. graceless* says at 10:03 pm, June 3rd, 2008

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

  69. TJBeck says at 10:03 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    William Tecumseh Sherman: Well, if you count clap-clap point-point as classy, yes, you missed it.

  70. masterdebater says at 10:03 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: There isn’t enough Viagra in the world!

  71. nyhfrog says at 10:03 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    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.

  72. HerExcellency says at 10:03 pm, June 3rd, 2008

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

  73. ronaldpagan says at 10:03 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: 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?

  74. wonk_the_heck says at 10:04 pm, June 3rd, 2008

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

  75. HairyIckey says at 10:04 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: What can I say, I love Barry Hussein but I REALLY love the white devil with the firecrotch!

  76. Godless Liberal * says at 10:04 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    MSNBC WATCHES CNN WHAT DOES THIS MEAN

  77. masterdebater says at 10:04 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    William Tecumseh Sherman: I listened to the whole thing. I missed it too.

  78. ronaldpagan says at 10:05 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    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.

  79. HairyIckey says at 10:05 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    OMG Carville, you alien looking schill…

  80. ivenson says at 10:05 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Fuck…I mean…fuck…..

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

  81. AudicityofHope says at 10:06 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Bill + Hillary + Obama = Bill + Hillary

  82. Cicada says at 10:06 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    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!

  83. ronaldpagan says at 10:06 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    confusionanddelay<: No he should disabuse her of the notion early. I never want to see her stupid face again.

  84. Domestic Goddess says at 10:06 pm, June 3rd, 2008

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

  85. 1974 (again) says at 10:06 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    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.

  86. masterdebater says at 10:06 pm, June 3rd, 2008

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

  87. JimNewell says at 10:07 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    confusionanddelay< : hey you made it!

  88. AudicityofHope says at 10:07 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Michelle is so gorgeous!!!

  89. masterdebater says at 10:07 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    AudicityofHope: It’s still June, and Bobby…

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

  91. Godless Liberal * says at 10:07 pm, June 3rd, 2008

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

  92. Mista Eko says at 10:08 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Han Solo: Let’s take a closer listen to that concession speech…
    (pregnant pause)
    Obi Wan: That’s no concession speech! That an Imperial Death Station!
    (horrified screams and tractor beams)

  93. JimNewell says at 10:08 pm, June 3rd, 2008
  94. Democratica says at 10:08 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    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?

  95. HairyIckey says at 10:08 pm, June 3rd, 2008

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

  96. Godless Liberal * says at 10:09 pm, June 3rd, 2008

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

  97. ronaldpagan says at 10:09 pm, June 3rd, 2008

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

  98. Chuck Fildren says at 10:09 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    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!

  99. TJBeck says at 10:15 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    “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.

  100. DoctorCulturae says at 10:16 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    No mention of Madame de Sade yet.

  101. DoctorCulturae says at 10:19 pm, June 3rd, 2008

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

  102. EnBuenOra says at 11:14 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    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.

  103. bertha says at 11:41 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    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..

  104. Lord Humungus says at 12:32 am, June 4th, 2008

    floraway: You mean besides the gimp in the boxing gloves directly over her head of course.

  105. valencia says at 1:25 am, June 4th, 2008

    Hilloric Clunton is giving me a headache.

  106. steverino247 says at 2:14 am, June 4th, 2008

    Cue the Munchkins, the Wicked Old Witch is dead.

  107. Anita Cocktail says at 8:11 am, June 4th, 2008
