Hillary Clinton Quotes: Hilarious Hillary-isms By Notable Quotables [16 more lists]

We could easily change it to 'One more statement by Hillary Rodham Clinton and hopes of her being intelligent disappears.' Read a collection of funny Hillary Clinton quotes from her 2008 presidential campaign, her years in the Senate, time as the First Lady along husband Bill Clinton and her time since all of the above.

Hillary Clinton's speeches and her statements in front of other types of audiences are very different from the ones made before television cameras and newspaper reporters. Unlike other female politicians like Sarah Palin for example, Hillary Clinton is makes people laugh becuase she is funny, not because she has crazy ideas and gets social studies facts wrong.
