Any idea why she started laughing.

[Cruzan]

Just seems kind of odd.

[polichick]

1. Because people think of "Pirates of the Caribbean" - something WAY in the past.

[mucifer]

2. not the smartest thing she's ever done.

[me b zola]

3. OFFS

Are you serious with this crap?

[BlooInBloo]

4. Charitable interpretation: She's laughing at the anachronism of it all.

[annabanana]

18. please see #14. . . . .n/t

[BlooInBloo]

22. (shrug) I still think she was laughing at the anachronism of it....

But I certainly can't read her mind.

[PeaceNikki]

5. Likely something happened off camera.

[RebelOne]

16. That was my first thought.

[Democracyinkind]

6. It certainly makes her look stupid. I don't believe we ended piracy back then, we just made

them move a country or two.

I don't see anything deep in her laugh. I think she is as clueless to the problem as most of us are.
I mean piracy, come on. That does sounds retro. And if you're not familiar with Somalian history this whole thing must be totally bizarre.

[annabanana]

20. If you're not familiar with DISNEY... go borrow a kid. . . n/t

[tekisui]

7. The RW haters are running this.

The guy she was with was laughing, too. It does look like something off camera, but the person who put that up at Youtube did it as a slam on the Obama Administration.

[PeaceNikki]

10. A Google search indicates Limbaugh is pushing this hardest.

I know... SHOCKING, right?

[annabanana]

17. Limbaugh out to get out more. . . n/t

[annabanana]

25. They are stupid and (apparently) don't go to movies. . . n/t

[camera obscura]

8. It's a nervous tic, I remember it from the primaries. Everyone has 'em.

[annabanana]

15. please see #14. . . . .n/t

[Obamanaut]

9. Who? What? My dial-up doesn't do youtube. nt

[mucifer]

11. Hillary Clinton had a nervous laugh when discussing the pirate situation.

It's inappropriate.

[PeaceNikki]

12. The Foreign Minister of Morocco also started laughing at the same time

which supports a theory that something may have happened off-camera.

[mucifer]

13. True, but, it's still inappropriate. U.S. citizens were in peril at the time.

[annabanana]

23. who ARE you?. . . .n/t

[Obamanaut]

31. Thanks. nt

[annabanana]

14. It is a SPECIFIC REFERENCE to a line (oft repeated) in the

movie "Pirates of the Carribean"

The Pirate does something really really bad (you know, "pirate-like"). .and when he's called on it he says..pointing to himself and says..."Pirate"

It's the "Duh" factor that makes the line funny

Get a grip people. .

[mucifer]

19. joking about hostage situations is not the right thing to do IMO.

[annabanana]

21. It was STUPID to expect that they would return the Captain just

because they returned the pirate. .

She was not "joking about the situation"

[trumad]

29. You sir are the very definition of a concern troll.

[TexasObserver]

24. Truthfully, she probably broke character for a moment, thinking ...

"I can't believe we're dealing with PIRATES!"

It does conjure up images of Captain what's his face and his rum, or Johnny Depp channeling Keith Richards.

[annabanana]

27. She was saying we souldn't be surprised when pirates act like, duh, pirates. . n/t

[PeaceNikki]

26. Oh, and why the fuck are you linking to a video with a description that says:

"Another reason Obama must be a 1 term president"?

[annabanana]

28. really. . . n/t

[tekisui]

30. Any reason why you brought this here?

[asdjrocky]

32. Wow. This is really relevant.

Oh give me a break.

[Control-Z]

33. What seems kind of odd

is that you would post this here.

Can you tell us why?

[Th1onein]

34. No, it's doesn't seem "kind of odd."

But, then again, you guys take a tall president bending down to shake a short head of state's hand, as a bow, too. Doesn't it get boring, looking at things with a microscope to find fault?
