Hillary DuCkakis: Swan Song of the Duck-Hunting Democrats

Mon Apr 14, 2008 at 07:31:06 AM PDT

Hillary says she's learned the lessons of Democratic presidential defeats, but then she goes and dresses herself up as a duck hunter. Apparently, it's her who doesn't remember what a world of good that duck-hunting bit did John Kerry with "Reagan Democrats" in 2004. I don't think Hillary actually goes duck hunting, and I hope not, for her sake. A picture of her in duckboots and camo would be the greatest gift to the GOP since Michael DuCkakis in a tank...

Sniping for Facts around Hillary's Duck Huntin' Days

Mon Apr 14, 2008 at 12:03:48 AM PDT

Hillary's Claim to Duck Hunting Fame is getting some notice tonight... I thought I'd dig a little deeper to see when and where this tale has been told.  I'm left thinking... this doesn't pass the sniff test.

It popped up in Wisconsin: Video Here

"I’ve hunted. My father taught me how to hunt. I went duck hunting in Arkansas. I remember standing in that cold water, so cold, at first light. I was with a bunch of my friends, all men. The sun’s up, the ducks are flying and they are playing a trick on me. They said, ‘we’re not going to shoot, you shoot.’ They wanted to embarrass me. The pressure was on. So I shot, and I shot a banded duck and they were surprised as I was," Clinton said drawing laughter from the crowd.

[Updated] Did Hillary just shoot herself in the foot AGAIN?

So, hot off the wires, I just read Hillary's latest attempt to spin hay out of the "bitter people" silliness:

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com...

VALPARAISO, Indiana (CNN) — Hillary Clinton appealed to Second Amendment supporters on Saturday by hinting that she has some experience of her own pulling triggers.

“I disagree with Sen. Obama’s assertion that people in our country cling to guns and have certain attitudes about trade and immigration simply out of frustration,” she began, referring to the Obama comments on small-town Americans that set off a political tumult on Friday.

She then introduced a fond memory from her youth.

Ut oh...that can't be a good sign...
