Her eyes visibly wet, in perhaps the most public display of emotion of her year-old campaign, Mrs. Clinton added: “I have so many opportunities from this country, I just don’t want to see us fall backwards. This is very personal for me  it’s not just political, it’s not just public.â€Â
Mrs. Clinton did not cry, but her quavering voice and the flash of feeling underscored the pressure, fatigue, anger and disappointment that, advisers say, Mrs. Clinton has experienced since her loss on Thursday in the Iowa caucuses and that she continues to shoulder at this most critical moment.
Mrs. Clinton tried to capitalize on being first to arrive at this new Democratic battleground. She received a warm reception at the packed Mexican restaurant, where supporters were turned away.
The crowd broke out into “Hillary, Hillary!†especially in response to lines like, “All of our problems are interconnected, but we treat them as if one were guacamole and one were chips.â€Â
If she wins the nomination, expect to hear that line in her acceptance speech.
what does that even mean? like, chips ALWAYS go with guacamole? or visa versa? perhaps hoodlumman could explain this one?
SALSAIST!!!
Sounds like she’s going for the whole enchilada to me.
Well, we all know you can’t make guacamole without mashing a few avocados. And that “avocado” is descended from the Nahuatl “ahuacatl”, meaning “testicle”.
So I guess what I’m saying, this latest turn of phrase from Clinton does *NOT* make me feel comfortable.
Can’t ABIDE guacamole.
Now I know why.
I heard that quote this morning. She’s got to be kidding.
Good guac is hard to find, but mostly good guac can’t be made without using copious quantities of garlic, cilantro, and lime juice. If the guac isn’t high on the delicious scale, you’re doing it wrong.
Speaking of which, I’ve got to stop spending so much time on fark.
You can have guac without chips, but chips without guac (or salsa) is pretty damned boring.
I’m interested in knowing which of our problems Hillary! is analogizing as “chips” and which is the guac, though.
The saddest part is that her toadies have convinced her that this means she’s clever and people will like her for it.
You know, cynn, I’ve heard worse quotes from others before, but you’re right. On a more personal level, I liken my problems to chimichangas.
Yo quiero politicos refritos.
I remember it being made tableside at El Torito. Or was it at Acapulco? Regardless, it was transcendental.
Who knew? Next book title not a reprise of It Takes a Village, but It Takes Chips and Dip.
If she said pigs in a blanket to indicate a nice, inclusive, enveloped by nannystate type feeling, that would have been considered bigoted by some. Don’t think she didn’t choose those words deliberately.
Si, Se Puede!
Quizno’s has terrible guacamole, so I don’t ever get it there. Actually I stopped going there when they started doing this thing about how you could have any sandwich made except as a salad instead of a sandwich. It just made the sandwiches seem suddenly really charmless.

Pablo- It’s made tableside at El Torito.
If the crowd cheered at that line, that is definitive proof that they aren’t actually listening to her.
Then there’s this one:
Men, not so much, one supposes.
MayBee, mmmmm….El Torito.
Interesting how the NY Slimes “doctored” what Hillary! said. They “quote” her as saying “I have so many opportunities from this country”.
But what she actually said was “I have so many dreams for this country”. I can just imagine how the LSM in general and the Slimes in particular would have reacted had any other candidate (most especially one of the “Rethuglican” variety) made such a blatantly narcissistic statement…
Guacamole, Bah.
Sour Cream Power!
It goes with everything.
Guacamole? Green mayonnaise.
Now you know.
All Hillary’s talking points have food in them. No wonder he lower legs look like kneecaps with toes.
Ooh. That was mean.
MayBee, mmmmm….El Torito
I know. We tried to go last week, but the wait was too long. I have been miserable ever since.
I saw Ron Jeremy there last time. Now he should be illegal.
I would seriously rethink eating in a restaruant if I saw a hedgehog in it.
“All of our problems are interconnected, but we treat them as if one were guacamole and one were chips.â€Â
I don’t speak blatant pandering, what the hell does that even mean?
That St. Hillary is so wise and intelligent, she can see that all our problems can be solved with one, simple step — electing her to be our emperor.
