Gotta give a H/T to Hot Air for this YouTube video of Senator Clinton getting dusted on the subject of New York’s attempt to issue drivers licenses to illegal aliens in last night’s debate:

Obama, Edwards attack; Clinton bombs debate

By: Roger Simon

PHILADELPHIA — We now know something that we did not know before: When Hillary Clinton has a bad night, she really has a bad night.

In a debate against six Democratic opponents at Drexel University here Tuesday, Clinton gave the worst performance of her entire campaign.

It was not just that her answer about whether illegal immigrants should be issued driver’s licenses was at best incomprehensible and at worst misleading.

It was that for two hours she dodged and weaved, parsed and stonewalled.

And when it was over, both the Barack Obama and John Edwards campaigns signaled that in the weeks ahead they intend to hammer home a simple message: Hillary Clinton does not say what she means or mean what she says.

And she gave them plenty of ammunition Tuesday night.

Asked whether she still agrees with New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer’s plan to give driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants, Clinton launched into a long, complicated defense of it.

But when Chris Dodd attacked the idea a moment later, Clinton quickly said: “I did not say that it should be done.”

NBC’s Tim Russert, one of the debate moderators, jumped in and said to her: “You told (a) New Hampshire paper that it made a lot of sense. Do you support his plan?”

”You know, Tim,” Clinton replied, “this is where everybody plays ‘gotcha.’”

John Edwards immediately went for the jugular. “Unless I missed something,” he said, “Sen. Clinton said two different things in the course of about two minutes. America is looking for a president who will say the same thing, who will be consistent, who will be straight with them.”

Barack Obama added: “I was confused [by] Sen. Clinton’s answer. I can’t tell whether she was for it or against it. One of the things that we have to do in this country is to be honest about the challenges that we face.” …

To be honest, I’m getting quite bored with these debates and since I was out of town yesterday, I missed all but the last hour or so of the Democratic debate but was home in time to see Her Royal Highness speaking out of both sides of her mouth on the referenced issue and yes, she looked quite BAD (as you can see). It was only a matter of time; political “experts” will say this is what you can expect when you enter a Presidential race so early; I say this is what you can expect when you run a so-called “FORMER” Republican activist and CURRENT neoconservative for the Oval Office under the Democratic ticket. Expect the “Hillary Clinton Swiftboaters” to start their assaults sometime soon — they have PLENTY of fodder to go after her with as you will eventually see. And remember — you heard it here FIRST.
