Forget the White House, Clinton eyes America’s Next Top Model

Posted by: Jeremy Pelofsky

Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton would love to be on the popular reality television show “America’s Next Top Model” but sees her dancing skills as the best of her talents. 

rtr1vrmr.jpgModel Tyra Banks, who hosts the show as well as her own talk show, asked Clinton which reality show she would like to be on, “Dancing with the Stars,” “American Idol” or “America’s Next Top Model.”

“In my dreams I would be on ‘America’s Next Top Model’ but in reality I would have to choose my limited talents and of them dancing is better than singing. You do not want me to sing,” she said, maybe a reference to her poor rendition of the national anthem caught by the microphones last year.
 
But Clinton suggested a different contest, one to decide what moniker for her ex-president husband should they occupy the White House again. 
 
“Here are some of the things that have been suggested like First Mate. His Scottish friends say ‘First Laddie,’ but we need ideas. I’ll just keep calling him Bill,” Clinton said, according to the transcript released by her campaign.

Billary is singulary not capable of performing anything that requires a grasp of reality. There is no show, no celebrity and no wit that can make her palatable to a thinking voter. Self-admittally she has little talent. folks like Rocky who actually think she has talent, any talent for anything of substance are the ones who scare intellegent people the most.

Mrs. Clinton you know you got my 100% vote. My family had the pleasure serving your husband while he was in office and intend to support you and your campain. It’s about time this Country needs to change and reclaim the trust of the countries that have walk alway for the past 7 yrs. The world is ready for something different and someone who is going to bring this country together not seperate the rich, middleclass and poor. Although the road ahead looks awful because of the stupidity and decisions the “current pressident” has made. We as the people in the USA and around the world have suffer and the country and world has had enough. The country has very little jobs or no jobs at all Companies are downsizing because they can’t afford to pay their employees the goverment is cutting down on their healthcare to their employees along with pention plans etc…

WE NEED CHANGE and you are the voice of tomorrow. GO HILLARY R. CLINTON.

Re: People will VOTE for you Mrs Clinton We all are with you.

Not me. I’m one of many democrats who can’t stand the woman. I’m hoping for an Obama/Edwards ticket. If Clinton gets the nomination I’m voting Republican. At least they have more integrity than Shrillary.

I love the paragraph “But Clinton suggested a different contest, one to decide what moniker for her ex-president husband should they occupy the White House again. ” Who’s idea was to use the word moniker ???? Hehe

We do not need another Clinton in the White House. They are both liars and a poor example of what America is all about.

I really wonder on what planet or rhealm you would have to dwell, to be serious about actuaaly making Hillary Clinton our next commander and chief.
I heard most right leaning women would/will vote for her simply because she’s a female.
Now that makes sense.

Well, this is pretty funny. Hillary’s best talent is dancing? I can just see it, two left feet. :):) On the other hand, if she is talking about verbal dancing and skirting the issues, I must admit she’s a pro. She dances around, through, above and under questions to avoid answering them directly. Also notice how she has an excuse (albeit rediculous) for anything on which she is challenged? She never admits to being wrong on anything, it is ALWAYS: someone else misconstrued what I said; that was not what I meant and everyone knows that; they misunderstood what I said; they twisted what I said, and on and on. Heck she even forgets what she said and comes back with, “what I actually said” when in fact she hadn’t. Hope I didn’t confuse anyone with that one. Yep in that context she’d be the winner–in other words she is a talented deceiver and liar. It would be very nice if Americans danced her right out of this election by using their votes wisely and voting for truth, good judgement, honesty, integrity, true leadership abilities, and the ability to bring cohesiveness to our country. These, folks, are what make a superb leader. Look into your hearts and make the right choice. Our country depends on WE THE PEOPLE!

Liz, I see you are an avid Hillary follower. Have you forgotten the disgrace Bill and Hillary brought to the this nation with their numberous scandals, deceit, and coverups? Have you forgotten how they sold out the Lincoln Bedroom? Have you forgotten Bill’s impeachment? You think she will not separate the rich, middleclass, and poor? She is one of the very rich, she’s all talk and no real action. If she really cared, don’t you think she’d spend half a million and build a few shelters for the poor? Look at how Oprah built that school in Africa, look at all the good causes to which she has contributed. Do you see Hillary doing anything like that? No, and you won’t. Your Hillary has one goal and one goal only and that is to satisfy her hunger for the highest post of this country; it’s all about Hillary. Everything else is secondary.

How stupid are all you hillary supporters. The idiot complaining we have no jobs in this country or health care needs to swallow their pride, get a crappy job if necessary, and work hard and they *will* make something of themselves. Sitting on your couch watching TV and complaining your welfare check isn’t cutting it isn’t the solution. And voting for the candidate that’s gonna give you better welfare benefits and better “free” health care is only taking away from the real hard working Americans that keep this country going and keeping the poor in a rut. If you like the way other countries like France, Canada, or Cuba run their governments, move there. I didn’t serve time for my country to have someone try modeling it after some liberal European second-class nation. If that’s your idea of government just move. Cuba and France have plenty of openings and lots of free social programs for the lazy and uneducated.

NinaK I believe and hope Hillary is the next president. You bible toting neocons had better get ready for her corrections to the mess “W” or is it “dumbya” has gotten us into domestically and overseas. The US historically has called upon Democrats to correct the blundering Republican screw ups. You cannot deny history. Go to http://www.WexlerWantsHearings.com and help impeach Channey and “dumbya” Do your country a favor.

“There is no show, no celebrity and no wit that can make her palatable to a thinking voter.”

I don’t elect my leaders based on their entertainment value. You are the scary one.

NinaK: Liz obviously doesn’t like Hillary. Neither do you. You say all of that but what has Bush done? What has anyone done? How much volunteer time of yourself do YOU give? Okay then. Do you think the other canidates are poor? Do you think Bush is poor? Bush doesn’t give his personal money and throws trillions into Iraq and doesn’t do anything about the homeless problem or any of the other things you claim Hillary should have done.

Could you be specific? Or are you just spewing random dribble like it seems?

I guess Hillary is the only one running that wants to hold the highest post of this country right? The other people running don’t really want to be President. Surre.

They are not at all right leaning if they’ve even considered voting for Hillary. I dont even know any moderates that would vote for her.
There are some people though (liberals) who will vote for her just because she’s a woman, which is a joke. She’s not even a strong woman. She has her cheating husband running her campaign….

Any true Bible believing Christian in their right mind would not vote for Hillary. We’ve had enough of the Clinton regeim to last a lifetime. President Bush is still cleaning up the mess Bill Clinton left. The 9th Commandment says Though shall not bare false witness & both Clintons did enough of that, not to mention the fact there we’re some innocent people killed during Bill Clinton’s reign in ofice.
Enough said.
