Wm. Jefferson Clinton: I Feel Your Pain

[4est_4est_Gump]

Boston Globe columnist Annie Linskey picked up on an interesting moment at a Hillary Clinton townhall Saturday afternoon, when an attendee shared her son’s story of mental illness and, ultimately, suicide.

Here’s how Linskey relays the story:

Some in the audience of 300 packed into a Boys & Girls Club in this lakeside town appeared moved by the story. But not, at least that one could tell, the woman who organized the forum, which was intended to focus on the scourge of drug addiction in New Hampshire.​

Hillary Clinton physically backed up closer to a wall as she listened and nodded. When the woman finished her story, the leading Democratic presidential contender retrieved a microphone, turned away, and began asking another panelist to respond.

Then she stopped herself. “I’m very sorry,” said Clinton, who followed with a bland observation. “We’re not doing enough on mental health treatment....”

No real show of compassion. No hug or even a touch on the hand.

Indeed, Clinton stands stone-faced throughout the mother’s story. After the story concludes, Clinton walks even further away.

Does she feel anything other than the lure of her "precious?"

She might have caught something if she got too close to the mother. She is clearly susceptible to mental illness and it's effects.

Okay, I laughed.



Not exactly ol., but I laughed...

She might want to put some ice on that.

I feel their pain?

"Vice President Joe Biden told the Catholic magazine America that 'abortion is always wrong,' but he accepts that there are 'God-fearing (and) non-God-fearing people that have a different view' and doesn't wish to impose his religious views on them. Biden sat down with the magazine for an interview about Pope Francis' visit to Washington, whether the pope should stay out of politics, and how Biden's own Catholic faith influences his views."
