By Bil Browning · Tuesday, October 24, 2017
With a headline like Hillary Clinton uses obscenity on TV describing reaction to Trumps inaugural speech, you could be excused for thinking she went on an expletive laden rant. But Fox News headline is exactly whats wrong with the right wing outrage machine.
Appearing on the British late night talk show, The Graham Norton Show, Clinton and the out gay host, started chatting about the Trump inauguration and her attempt to get out of attending. (Because, seriously, would you want to go? You didnt even run against him and the ceremony probably turned your stomach.)
Clinton recounts that she and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, thought they might have found a way out, but it depended on what the other former presidents would do. We thought, okay maybe others arent going, so we called the Bushes, and the elder Bushes were in the hospital, which I think was legitimate, she said as the audience laughed. So then we called the younger Bushes and they said yeah were going.
When the Carters told them they would also attend, the Clintons knew they were stuck. But when she talked about Trumps inauguration speech, she told a quick anecdote that has the right wing in an uproar.
I was sitting next to George W. Bush and Bill was on my other side and we were listening to this really dark, divisive speech that I describe as a cry from the white nationalist gut. I was so disappointed. Really so, so sad that it wasnt an outreach; it was a narrowing and a hammering of what he had said before, she told Norton.
It was reported that George W. Bush, as it ends, said, That was some weird shit, she said as the audience roared.
"And it was, Norton replied.

Curse words really terrify some people.
Evil deeds and actions terrify me.
Curse words, not at all.
Fuck is my favorite word.
