Hillary Clinton erupts in laughter at the mention of ‘John Bolton.’ (VIDEO)
Hillary Clinton erupts in laughter at the mention of ‘John Bolton.’

Super-hawk John Bolton has been having a tough time over the past week trying to find anything good to say about President Clinton securing the release of two American journalists in North Korea. It’s “negotiating with terrorists,” “rewarding bad behavior,” and endangering the lives of other Americans, Bolton has complained. CNN aired a clip of Fareed Zakaria’s new interview with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton last night and when Zakaria tried to ask Clinton about Bolton’s criticism, she erupted in laughter just as Zakaria mentioned his name. Clinton then noted that it’s “absolutely not rewarding them“:

CLINTON: We’ve done this so many times before. We’ve had former presidents do it. We’ve had sitting members of Congress do it. It is something that, you know, it is absolutely not rewarding them. It is not in any way responding to specific demands.

It is a recognition that certain countries that I think are kind of beyond the pale the rule of law hold people and subject them to long prison terms that are absolutely unfair and unwarranted.

Watch it:

Host Erica Hill asked Lisa Ling, the sister of Laura Ling, one of the journalists President Clinton helped get released, about Bolton’s criticism as well. “I heard John Bolton make his statement,” Ling said, adding, “Bill Clinton went to North Korea on a humanitarian mission, to bring back Laura and Euna… was gracious enough to agree to do it. And we are so, so grateful. If he didn’t do it, I know that the girls wouldn’t be here right now

3. This should be the standard response when anyone mentions his name
just think of his name as "Biggus Dickus" and it is easy.

Good for Hillary laughing dismissively at the asshole Bolton. She also said that if Obama walked on water, Bolton would say:"He cannot swim" :rofl:

10. Cackle, laugh, whatever
When she does it, it gets people's attention.

I mean, really, how many people have that much power in a chuckle?

7. Great response, but I wish she had heard herself when she spoke.
HC: "....certain countries...hold people and subject them to long prison terms that are absolutely unfair and unwarranted...."

ME (SCREAMING AT THE VIDEO): YOU MEAN LIKE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WITH OUR RIDICULOUSLY OVER-FILLED, PRIVATE PRISON SYSTEM! AND OF COURSE GUANTANAMO!
