"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction ... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real..." -- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003

 What's So Funny, Hillary?

By Karen Breslau NEWSWEEK- It is often a measure of Hillary Clinton's discomfort when she smiles broadly and lets loose with her deep, often-mocked belly laugh. So it was at a press conference at the Pittsburgh airport this afternoon, when a CNN producer asked Clinton whether the fact that her husband had earned $800,000 for speeches designed to boost the free trade deal with Colombia - a deal that she opposes (she even demoted her controversial chief strategist Mark Penn for advocating same) constituted a conflict of interest? After all, those earnings may have comprised a part of the $5 million Clinton loaned her campaign in February. First, Clinton giggled. Then she laughed. She waved her arms in the air. Then came an "Oh my." More laughter. A few eye rolls and head shakes. Then this: "I mean, how many angels can dance on the head of a pin?"Huh? The question, reasonable enough, was hardly a thigh-slapper. It goes to the heart of Clinton's challenge in Pennsylvania, where she will need the support of organized labor to win. Does her husband's advocacy of that deal -and the fact that her now-demoted chief strategist Mark Penn was a paid consultant to the Colombian government - affect her position? In an effort to soothe those concerns, her campaign announced today that she reeled in an Ohio superdelegate, former AFL-CIO leader Bill Burga. That's not going to get nearly as much attention as her over-the-top preamble to the real message Hillary wants Pennsylvania to hear. Once she stopped laughing, Clinton did eventually manage to answer the question, but you can bet it will never get the same coverage as her initial response, which is already destined for the YouTube Hall of Fame: "I am against the trade deal," she said. "It doesn't matter who talks to me." Noting the Colombian government's abysmal record of failing to prosecute the assassins of union organizers, she added, "I am against the targeting of labor leaders. I happen to think that unionism is a fundamental human right." She closed with another incredulous chuckle.
