(5,946 posts)she needed those 6 months to do this? If she wanted a woman there are so many more politically funny they could have gotten.

(92,394 posts)and politicians also. Two lines that struck out for me was the oath she asked them to take. "I will not focus on what Hillary is wearing because that isn't journalism"
The line about the only law enforcement group that gets in trouble for not protecting an African American, is the secret service. That was an entire indictment on the police forces, local governments, and the secret service, and I sensed with the nervous laughter in the audience when that was said, they knew they didn't cover it as well as they should have

(14,040 posts)being the only police force that'd get in trouble if a black man was shot was good. Could've done without the Schock bit.

(10,044 posts)From the stuff she said, she's pretty well caught up with what's going on in Washington. She was very good, but if you are a supporter of the frontrunner, you may not a have liked her.

(47,534 posts)I (reporter) do solemnly swear not to talk about Hillary appearance because it is not journalism.
Secret Service guys are the only ones who will have to worry about a black man being shot.
procon
(15,805 posts)Oh my, she doesn't even know her material. She keeps looking down to read her notes; bad delivery. Watch the audience, the ones who aren't giving her the death stare, look uncomfortable and keep glancing at each other and shaking their heads. What was with that unfunny hit piece on Aaron Schock that dragged on forever?

(89,264 posts)she seems younger than most who have done this

(89,264 posts)just looked her up and saw she is on SNL. i haven't watched that show in years.
LiberalFighter
(51,084 posts)You got to remember she was playing to a different audience than SNL. If this was on SNL it likely would had gone further than what she did tonite. Yes there were some bad ones.
Part of what made anything that appeared bad was following Obama as he had some of the same material.
