FNS Panel: Last night's debate
NPR's Mara Liasson says it was "adorable" when Hillary Clinton told one of the moderators at ABC's Saturday night debate that "it hurts my feelings" to hear that some people don't like her.
"Adorable"?
Uh, no. It was silly, out of character, patronizing and deeply, unutterably fake. Hillary Clinton has spent years perfecting her public persona of toughness, of going for the throats of those who dare oppose her.
Which is actually perfect, because last night's "adorable" moment captures Clinton's essential inauthenticity -- and liberal reporters' willingness to buy whatever snakeoil she's selling.
