Hilary Clinton perks up with mid-air journalist jokes

By Patrick

Hilary Clinton seems to be in good enough sprits after her emotional episode in New Hampshire last week to poke fun at journalists aboard her private plane.

Acting as an air stewardess earlier today on “Hill Force One”, she told her passengers, nearly all of them journalists: “My name is Hilary and I’m so pleased to have most of you on board.”

As bbc.co.uk reports, she said: “regulations prohibit the use of any cell phones, Blackberries or wireless devices that may be used to transmit a negative story about me.”

timesonline.co.uk has the story and a video of her witticisms.
