1. I saw that. bahahahahahaha

[Radical Activist]

2. But how big is her house?!?!?!!!!

;)

[CatWoman]

6. ROFL!!!

:hi:

better yet, can the house sing too?

[Radical Activist]

9. How does she sound when she sings in the shower

of her huge house? I'm glad you appreciated my joke. :)

[Fenris]

3. Dennis Hastert didn't even know the words to it.

He was also very high at the time.

[Lost-in-FL]

4. Why she hates AMERICA!!11!!!

[blm]

Let me check my moral compass here.

WWHD?

Well, first she'd check and see what Bush and McCain have to say.

The compass says, "What she did was inappropriate."

[Auggie]

5. You'd think anyone running for president would brush-up on the lyrics

[natrat]

7. i question her liberalness now-i propose multiple threads on the issue

[juajen]

8. I really love her singing. It's adorable!

Honest. I think Bill sings better; remember his Imagine duet? I thought his singing was adorable, too. Just sayin'. I think most of America will identify with her.

[JohnnyLib2]

10. Hey, Roseanne made a comeback--

don't count our gal out! LOL

[MonkeyFunk]

11. and it's all to her benefit

she looked incredibly human doing that - and that's no small shakes. She's perceived as some sort of soulless automaton.

Singing that way endears her to many.

And her response to the press about the "evil, bad men" question made her even more human. She's been afraid for a long time to come across as a normal, free-speaking person. I think these stories make her much more likeable.

[Alamom]

22. The evil, bad men answer was priceless & she was the first to laugh.n/t

[MonkeyFunk]

26. but even better was her response

to her question backstage about it. She laughed and said "You guys always say I should have a better sense of humor, and when I do, I get psychoanalyzed!"

It was a pure moment for her. She needs more of them. She came across as totally real and loveable.

[Jeanette in FL]

12. Whoever controls the soundboard, controls the message

Exactly what they did to Howard Dean with the famous scream.

[Auggie]

13. Actually, I like her better now. That's a ridiculous anthem that challenges

even professional singers.

[Bjornsdotter]

14. ...and I've heard she lives in a house!

....That's it, it's all over for her!

Cheers

[MrSlayer]

15. She's a terrible singer which means she'd make a terrible President.

Of course.

[Graybeard]

25. Forget the election. Just have them all appear on American Idol.

...is this the "silly season" or what?

[lisa58]

16. Who the hell doesn't?

[madrchsod]

17. what would anyone expect...?

she`s a "clinton"!

[Verde]

18. Big deal, she uses eco-buddy lightbulbs and lives in a box with

solar panels under a bridge where she feeds the poor with a magic can of anchovies and a never ending tin of saltines.

:)

[Raine]

19. and this is news?!?

:eyes: It would be real news if she sang it perfectly cause she would be about the only one who ever did! No one can sing that song unless they are a professional and the majority of them can't even do it.:silly:

[Auggie]

20. I bet it's brought up during the election.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

21. Way better than Linda McCartney was.

Hillary has some sense of pitch.

[MiniMandaRuth]

23. Oh jeeze... I remember when someone sang the national

anthem and they screwed up... and some racsist jackass said 'And that's why we don't let Mexicans sing the song'

And so I turned around and asked him what the name of the song was he couldn't answer me. Pissed me off so bad.

[devilgrrl]

24. Guess she won't be trying out for 'American Idol'

:eyes:

[Captain Hilts]

27. Most people do.....nt

[jkshaw]

28. Her off-key rendering of our truly crazy national anthem ..

... made her very endearing to me. Keith Olbermann played a short clip of it tonight, and my husband said, "And you say _I_ sing off-key!" We both love her for trying to sing the thing rather than lip-synching, because she must know she has a tin ear. As far as actually singing the national anthem, I'll bet nine out of ten citizens can't stay on pitch all the way through, especially up there on "freeeeee...."

[Nikki Stone1]

29. They really need to lower the national anthem by a fourth. F major instead of Bb.

Then most people could actually hit the high notes.

[jkshaw]

30. Nikki, but then how could we sing ...

... the LOW notes? The range on that thing is punishing. I remember singing it once every month for a year at our local Elks' meetings decades ago and I hated it then. I haven't changed my mind about it. Fitting that the congress under Herbert Hoover passed the resolution making it our national anthem the year after my birth, both events followed immediately by the Great Depression.

[Nikki Stone1]

33. How about G major?

(Or God Bless America, anyone?)

[Hardrada]

31. It is more fun to play that in band than to sing it.

I memorized the French horn part and we played it before the games.

[TheMadMonk]

32. Does anyone, including professional singers...

...sing national anthems ON key?

The average national anthem is right up there with "Tomorrow" in "difficulty" ranking.

[burythehatchet]

34. I believe it was an intentional "inadvertent recording"
