HRC on the Daily Show

Here's some unfiltered advice from an Obama supporter.  I know you're going on the show, no matter what, so it doesn't matter if I say this here.  As Admiral Ackbar said in Return of the Jedi, "It's a TRAP!!!!"

I was already wondering whether Jon Stewart planned on having HRC on the show on Monday.  It would seem like a perfect time to ambush her.  I expect a few softballs, and then he's going to ask her what she's still doing in the race.  Then he'll laugh, and she'll laugh, and he'll say something like:

"No, but seriously, what are you still doing in the race?"

If she truly believes the media is in the tank for Obama, and she's coming to TDS, then she hasn't been watching TDS lately.

Jon may also spend the whole show running clips unflattering to her, and then allow her to come out to field softballs.  That's his second strategy, which dares the interviewee to stay calm while he asks innocent questions as if he didn't just trash them for twenty minutes.

Or he may go with the Kristol gambit.

He's had Bill Kristol on countless times, and he whacks the guy every time.  Mainly with the subtext that not all Jews agree on politics.

Jon might ask questions about insinuating that Obama hates Israel.
Or ask her why SHE hasn't publically debunked the Obama is an Al Qaeda sleeper agent email.
Or remind everyone that Suha Arafat was on good terms with her, and she never denounced or rejected her when she claimed that Israelis poison Palestinian wells.

Or he could invent a new gambit just for her.

He may make her swear to his audience that she'll drop out at a particular point, without conditions.

Or that she will refrain from a particular type of ad.

Or return her PAC money.

Or apologize for something ... who knows what?

Feel free to anticipate his questions in the thread below.

He has been brutal to her lately.  Sometimes I feel he has been unfairly brutal to her.  He can be one of the toughest interviews on TV.

If she's looking to best him, and thereby gain respect, this is brilliance.

But since Wolfson and Penn are still working for her ... I hope she's prepared for something other than comedy.
