- “You told Jon Meacham, the editor of Newsweek, that you thought the question that caused a brief emotional moment on your part was a moment of grace….How did that question convert itself in your mind into a moment of grace?”
- “How would this holding room be different if your husband, and entourage, were here?”
- “At least the food on the road makes it all worthwhile.”
Your worst mistake was failing to put Williams’s best question on the evening news broadcast. It only appears on your Web site.
- “I guess I should ask you to look back on the campaign so far. Akin to the questioning in New Hampshire, it has gotten personal quite early. How have you kept going?”
Don’t you realize Our core supporters are poorly educated, easily commanded older women who rely on television news for their information, and don’t even know how to get on line?
The Tyra Banks Show/WB, January 18.
The “Hillary Clinton’s Photo Album” feature on your Web site is wonderfully humanizing. Ms. Banks’s choice of topic – the Turd’s infidelity – was cunningly calculated to elicit sympathy for Us.
- “How did you persevere during the darkest moment in your life?”
- “Were you embarrassed?”
- “Do women come up to you and ask for advice? ‘My husband stepped out on me. I’m going through hell right now. What do I do?’ Do they do that?”
Well done so far, but once again the camera work was unacceptable. Your cameraman focused for interminable stretches on Our face, revealing that We were looking down at the floor and avoiding eye contact during Our responses. Such body language conveys deception, as you ought to know. Deception is not likeable. Why did your editors fail to splice in more footage of the carefully selected, adoring studio audience?
As you all can see, your work is falling far short of Our expectations. In consequence, your invitations to the Lincoln Bedroom are now forfeit and your eligibility for White House social lists and mess privileges is in jeopardy. If your future work improves, however, you will be reinstated on the cattle futures tips list, and We promise to look favorably on your applications for broadcast license renewals. We suggest you use female interviewers, film editors and camerapersons.
Do not disappoint Us again. Did We mention We intend to employ Our old friend, Craig Livingstone, as Supervisor of IRS Auditing after We are coronated inaugurated? Also, We have decided to retain those FBI files.
Your future leader,
H-----------
* On January 11, U.S. News and World Report’s Kenneth T. Walsh reported that “Clinton now plans to take a three-pronged approach into the next series of contests…Last, her strategists say, Clinton will reveal more of her personal side and speak ‘from the heart’ to improve her likeability.” |
