Hillary in Hawaii Open Thread

I thought we could use another pick-me-up, so here’s a great anecdote about Hillary from The New York Daily News.
Hillary Clinton’s trip to Hawaii took a hilarious turn when a half-naked man interrupted her photo op and streaked in the background with nothing but a flaming torch and loin cloth.
Video of the incident, which surfaced Tuesday, shows the Secretary of State busting out a hearty laugh and clapping her hands when she spots the man zooming by.
“Th[at] was great!” Clinton exclaimed to the media. “I hope you all captured that.”
Clinton had been posing for photos with Donald Tsang, Hong Kong’s chief executive on Saturday as the man appeared in the shot.
Barely containing herself, she then patted Tsang on the shoulder and joked “People will wonder what the chief executive is doing.”
Here’s the video:

Oh please someone quote the last part…too funny. Great laugh.
She has such a great sense of humor! Unlike her boss.
What a diplomat and a human being. How often do those two go together? I wish I had one tenth of her poise and smarts.
Great…….smiling and laughing…………..and like her hair pulled back.
This is a great clip, BB. I happened to catch it as I was getting dinner on. Really made me smile and Hillary obviously enjoyed the moment. Which makes it twice as good.
That was great. Her reaction is priceless.
