Cackle


New World Dictionary definition of "CACKLE":

to make the shrill broken sounds of a hen

The hidden enemy for Hillary Clinton is her gender. She is a she. All of our presidents have been a he. The intelligence, experience, and coolness that Clinton exhibits in debates, news interviews, and in public appearances is not enough for many in the media. Led by FOX News and echoed by such a mainstream voice as MSNBC's Chris Matthews, Clinton has been brought to task for her slightly long laughs while being interviewed. Instead of praising her for a bit of humor or maybe being a little critical as the laughter might mask a sign of nervousness, the TV pundits are calling her laughs a "CACKLE". Once again we are getting down to coded language. Hillary is just another air headed woman who never ever could stand up to the potential threats that our country faces from countries such as North Korea and Iran. She messed up on health insurance (of course no one mentions that fourteen years later Congress still doesn't have the balls to truly take this issue on) and as a meddling woman she must not have any real handle on Wall Street, the mortgage crisis, and other economic problems. Barring a total collapse, Hillary Clinton will be the Democratic nominee in 2008. Defeating the Republicans will be difficult enough but now the real adversary is rearing its head: wimpy men who twist and turn when they think of a woman having true power and authority. All campaigns end up the same: the vital issues and ideas are pushed to the side as personality and appearance become preeminent. In the end we all become losers no matter who the ultimate winner is. Hillary was just hitting her stride wowing everyone with her debating skills. Enjoying her position and relaxing a bit, a bit of the real person was allowed to leak out with her laughing episodes. Now with all the critical comments, her handlers will reign her in so that she no longer can be loose and be the real person that everyone desperately wants to see.
