Is this any way for the secretary of state to act?
What is Hillary Clinton's problem?
HILLARY CLINTON: We're deeply concerned and we're following it very closely. Um... (pause) You know... Specifically we are now focused on this particular act of piracy and the seizure of a ship that, uh, carries 21 American citizens. More generally, we think the world must come together, uhh, to end the scourge of piracy. I think Morocco was the very first country that recognized us, going back a -- a -- a long time, and, uh, uh, we worked together to end piracy off the coast of Morocco (cackling) all those years ago! (cackling louder) and, uh, we're going to work together, uh, to end, uh, this kind of criminal activity anywhere on the high seas.
This is really a bizarre moment.
Breaking into laughter when discussing criminal activity and a hostage crisis is shockingly inappropriate.
I don't recall Condoleezza Rice doing anything like this.
Maybe Hillary is following Obama's lead and wallowing in some gallows humor.
As Obama said during a 60 Minutes interview that aired on March 22, 2009, "There's gotta be a little gallows humor to (LAUGHS) get you through the day."
Is Hillary punch drunk?
