Australian Comedians Get Sec. Hillary Clinton To Open Up About Potato Chips

video
» 4 comments

This past Sunday, Sec. Hillary Clinton discussed the world’s view of Americans with the Australian comedians and radio hosts, Hamish & Andy. The interview was one of her most likable and relatable ever, her jovial nature destroying any last vestiges of her image as “cold.” The interview didn’t delve too deep into serious politics (in fact, much of it was about potato chips), but it was a great example of a relaxed Hillary Clinton as human instead of political figure.

Not only was Clinton seemingly having a good time, she also was matching the hosts beat for beat with some charming quips. Like in this discussion after the comedians offered her a pack of the aforementioned chips as a representative gift from Australia:

“Hillary: I am thrilled and I’ll tell you how much this means to me.

Hamish: Are you a collector of chips?

Hillary: I’m an eater of chips.

Hamish: We recommend not – the use by is two years ago. If you try to eat them technically that’s an assassination attempt by us.

Hillary: Should I wait ’til I’m out of Australian air space?”

The whole thing’s just a lot of silly fun. Perhaps if Clinton had given more interviews like this on this side of the globe, the country could be blaming her for not fixing all of our problems in two years. Oh, what could have been.

    Mr Bershad:

    Is this your gig covering TV, like Lauer ratings with Bush where we learned more about shows competing with interview but little regarding the actual interview.

    Here is the Sec of State, love/hate her she has been doing an excellent job on behalf of our country. Far away from the troubles of the Obama administration, and this is what makes news, OK, this is a media website but still, I do admit, she comes across more likeable to be sure.

    Also when those who decided to give their support for Obama in 2008, I bet some were uncertain, and now have buyers remorse for Obama.

    If I could predict the future, Hillary would make a run, party be damned. She see’s the same thing all American’s see, and if not her, someone will challenge Obama.

    “…but it was a great example of a relaxed Hillary Clinton as human instead of political figure.”

    Reasonable, fair people already saw Hillary Clinton as an exceptional human.
