If looks could kill…

Scroll down for updates…Cringeworthy video of Hillary’s whine and failed SNL reference here…“Maybe we should ask Barack if he’s comfortable and needs another pillow”…and vid of Hillary’s tax dodge here

How many “last stands” does Hillary get? The MSNBC debate starts at 9pm and will drone on for 90 minutes.

I’ve liveblogged so many of these debates, I can liveblog them in my sleep:

Hillary plays passive-aggressive, praising Obama’s message of unity while mocking the empty rhetoric of unity without EXPERIENCE.

Hillary attacks Obama’s lack of an individual mandate in his health care reform plan. Obama sighs, patiently explains why affordable health care will persuade people to buy health care on their own.

Hillary Bush-bashes. Obama Bush-bashes.

Hillary says she’s against the war. Obama says he was always against the war.

Hillary plugs her housing bailout plan. Obama plugs his housing bailout plan.

Obama recites his biography. Audience cheers. Obama remembers to pull out Hillary’s chair for her.

Debate ends. Hillary launches new, dirty attack.

We’ll see if Russert and Williams take up Hillary’s campaign trail histrionics and how deeply they dig into Obama’s Rezko deal.

No-Doze, anyone?

Oops, I forgot the Hillary Clinton Cackle Count. I think she’ll toss in a few extra ones. I’m betting on eight cackles tonight. Your guess?

***

9:06pm Eastern. Williams starts right off contrasting video clips of Hillary “honored” soundbite from the last soundbite and her screechy “Meet me in Ohio” threat from the campaign trail.

She stiffly talks about their differences, whines about some Obama campaign flyer, and segues right into…her health care mandate attack. “We should have a good debate with accurate information…”

9:08pm Eastern. Williams asks about the African garb photo. Did it come from her camp?

“So far as I know, it did not. I know nothing about it. That’s not the kind of behavior that I condone or expect from the people working in my campaign.”

She looks bitter, tired, angry.

9:10pm Eastern. Obama defends his criticism of Hillarycare…Hillary attacks Obamacare.

Hey, did I call this or what? Not that it wasn’t as predictable as the sunrise or the sunset…

By the way: They look like they really, really HATE each other.

Individual mandate, children covered, not adults, blahblahblah.

9:20pm Eastern. Williams intervenes to talk about NAFTA.

Hillary’s whining about getting the first question all the time in debates.

Meltdown. Waaaaaah.

9:22pm Eastern. She’s whining about wanting a real debate and wanting to get what the real issues are.

Obama says simply: “I think it is inaccurate for Hillary Clinton to say she’s always opposed NAFTA.”

9:25pm Eastern. Russert double-teams with Obama on Hillary
on NAFTA.

She starts snarling about how her record “has always been consistent.”

She wants America to be more like Germany.

Gawd.

9:33pm Eastern. Russert asks Hillary about her unfulfilled pledge to create 200,000 new jobs in depressed Buffalo.

Try not to glare, Hill, try not to glare.

9:37pm Eastern. Obama’s talking about Iraq. His judgement is sound.

Hillary gets to talk about EXPERIENCE now.

There’s still an hour left in the debate and they’ve covered all their key talking points. What’ll they do to fill the rest of the time?

Boy, am I off on the cackle count, though. Hillary’s got too much smoke coming out of her ears.

9:50pm Eastern. Yet another awkward moment as Hillary elbows into Obama’s Iraq discussion. She wants to get in a last word and Williams cuts her off for a commercial break.

Obama stands for Hillary. She’s not getting up.

Oooh, I can imagine the sniping going on right now on stage during the commercial break.

Maybe she won’t come back!

9:55pm Eastern. Williams asks Obama about Hillary’s celestial skies diss.

I think Hillary showed some good humor. I would give her points for delivery.

CACKLE!!! WE’VE STRUCK GOLD!!!

Obama segues into a stump speech on his record for CHANGE.

9:58pm Eastern. Hillary defends her “celestial skies” attack. “I was just trying to have fun. It’s hard to have fun on the campaign trail.

Agh, she’s so brittle, it pains me to watch.

10:00pm Eastern. Williams goes to a video of Obama attacking the Clinton co-presidency. Obama defends his criticism.

Hillary questioned on tax records.

Boos?

10:10pm Eastern. Obama distances himself from Farrakhan. I can’t say to somebody that he can’t say that I’m a good guy…I’ve consistently denounced it.

Russert cites Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s pastor. Wright praised Farrakhan. What do you do to assure Jewish Americans that…you are consistent with issues regarding Israel?

“Tim, I have some of the strongest support from the Jewish community in my hometown of Chicago…I have been a stalwart friend of Israel…”

Hillary’s thinking: Is this a debate? I want a question! I want a question!

10:14pm Eastern. Hillary butts in to say she rejects anti-Semitism, too! “I wouldn’t be associated with people who said such thing…important to stand on principle and reject it.”

Russert: Are you suggesting Obama isn’t standing on principle?

Hillary wants Obama to be stronger: “There’s a difference between denouncing and rejecting.”

Obama: “I reject AND denounce!” if it makes Hillary happy.

Applause.

10 more pitiful minutes left.

10:21pm Eastern. Williams cites National Journal rating of Obama as more liberal than Ted Kennedy. How can he win in a general election?

Obama calls the rating “silly.” He’s using up a lot of time. “Proof is in the pudding. We’ve been attracting more independents and Republicans than anyone else.” Hillary’s champing at the bit.

10:23pm Eastern. Russert asks Clinton about Putin’s successor. “He’s a hand-picked successor. Very little independence. So-called leading oppo figure spends most of his time praising Putin. Clever but transparent way of Putin holding on to power.

Clinton gets an “A” for preparedness. This would have been a better question to ask Obama.

Russert tries to stump her: Do you know his name?

Clinton: Uh…Medve–

Russert: “Medvedev.

Clinton: “Medvedev. Whatever.”

Laughter.

Russert to Obama: What do you know?

Obama: Same talking points.

Last question: Anything -words, votes - you would take back?

We’ve had this regret question before from Monsignor Russert. Yawn.

Hillary says her war vote.

Obama would have stood up and said something more about the Schiavo debate in Congress.

Obama then takes advantages of the remaining time to talk about past 20 debates and give his gentlemanly kiss-off to Hillary while reminding voters of the need to “change how business is done in Washington.”

Williams ends with last question to Obama first:

What’s the fundamental question Hillary must answer to convince voters she should be the nominee?

Obama: “She’s qualified, but I’m more qualified, otherwise I wouldn’t be running. She’d be better than McCain. I don’t think she has to answer a question about whether she’s capable. The reason I’m better is that I can bring this country together in a unique way–and that’s what’s going to be required to deliver. And I have a track record…I bring a unique bias in favor of opening up govt, pushing back special interests, making govt more accountable.”

Hillary answers:

“Well, Brian, there isn’t any doubt that both of us feel very strongly about our country…As I said, you know, it’s been an honor to campaign (so insincere!)…I still intend to do everything I can to win (very, very sincere!)…obviously, I’m thrilled to be running to be the first woman president (applause)…My question: Who can actually change the country?”

…And, as I wrote more than 90 minutes ago, we end with the obligatory Obama chivalry move–standing for Hillary, pulling out her chair, and patting her on the back.

It must have felt like patting an iceberg.

Brrrrrrr.

Remember her words, Barack:

I still intend to do everything I can to win.

Promise…or threat.

    I am in TX and our primary is coming up (in fact, early voting has started). I wonder if it is a good idea to vote in the dem primary on purpose just to make sure Hillary Clinton is out. Input is very welcome. The question is: if a dem is elected in Nov. and I think one will be, which one of these 2 sickos will be less dangerous. Also, which one will be more easily defeated taking into consideration that many of the republican base may not be enthusiastic to vote for McCain, like myself.

    You mean like Bush’s experience? Hillary’s experience of Bimbo eruptions?? I think one thing he answered correctly is “Years in Washington don’t equate to experience” just like being in the military or a POW don’t automatically make one CinC material.

    Bush had a lot more experience than BO. How could ayone compare the 2? Bush was a governor of a huge state, he had an executive position, generally highly acceptabe experience for President (just look at history). Hillary has no experience, but BO has EVEN LESS than her (he was in the senate for ONE year when he started running). BO is an empty person who happens to speak somewhat well. So, should we elect Tony Robbins, or one of those charlatan TV evangelists who swindle people for money? This guy is a product of the Chicago machine and he loks crooked. He is ust not getting attacked and I can’t stand Hillary.

    My favorite exchange of the night came when Russert was grilling them on different hypotheticals about how they would deal with certain situations arising in Iraq. Hillary came back and said “Tim, you are throwing out a lot of hypotheticals”, and refused to answer his questions. Well, if she were elected POTUS, God help us, wouldn’t she have to deal with these sorts of hypotheticals? Isn’t it helpful to American voters to have some insight into how she would go about dealing with these questions? I’m kind of with Rush on this. Let these two squabble as long as they can and then send ultra liberal Obama into the general election. Granted I wish we had a stronger conservative candidate, but I still think Obama’s liberal stances and his baggage which isn’t quite known yet will be a drag on him come November.

    Anything mentioned about term limits? You know since these two empty vessels want change and all. Anything mentioned on how much either of their health care plans are going to cost us?
