JOHN STEWART'S TAKE ON THE CLINTON CACKLE
http://www.politicstv.com/blog/?p=3490

PATRICK HEALY, NY TIMES - The weirdest moment was with Bob Schieffer on
the CBS News program "Face the Nation" when he said to Mrs. Clinton,
"you rolled out your new health care plan, something Republicans
immediately said is going to lead to socialized medicine." She giggled,
giggled some more, and then couldn’t seem to stop giggling — "Sorry,
Bob," she said — and finally unleashed the full Cackle.

The Schieffer moment seemed particularly calculated because Mrs. Clinton
has most certainly not laughed, in other settings, when she has been
accused of pursuing socialized medicine. She faced that accusation
charge during a forum in Las Vegas this summer, for instance; she turned
frosty and traded barbs with the audience member who made the
accusation. It was clearly no laughing matter in that venue.

BUT BILL CLINTON IS BETTER AT CRYING ON CUE

As he proved at Ron Brown funerals: all smiles until he spotted the
media and then started crying

OBAMA WOULD RELAX DRUG PENALTIES

DC EXAMINER - Democrat Barack Obama said that as president he would
relax drug sentencing laws and address vast racial inequities in the
justice system as part of his crime policy. The Illinois senator said he
would review mandatory minimum drug sentencing and give first-time,
nonviolent drug offenders a chance to serve their sentence in drug
rehabilitation programs instead of prison
