Hillary
Clinton's stump speech has gone to the dogs.
Not
really. But Clinton told a colorful story on Monday in Reno that ended with the
former secretary of state barking like a dog.
Clinton
was in the middle of a riff about how, in her view, Republicans say things
that are not true, when she remembered a radio ad that she said ran in rural
Arkansas while her husband, Bill Clinton, was running for office.
"(Republicans)
actually, with a straight face, say that the great recession was caused by too
much regulation on Wall Street. They actually say that," Clinton said.
Then
she launched into her story.
"One
of my favorite political ads of all time was a radio ad in rural Arkansas where
the announcer said, 'Wouldn't it be great if somebody running for office said
something, we could have an immediate reaction to whether it was true or not.
Well, we have trained this dog. Well, the dog, if it is not true, he is going
to bark,'" Clinton said. "And the dog was barking on the radio and so
people were barking at each other for days after that."
"I
want to figure out how we can do that with Republicans. We need to get that dog
and follow them around and every time they say these things like, 'Oh, the
Great Recession was caused by too much regulation,' arh, arh, arh, arh,"
Clinton said, letting out a barking noise that caused the audience to laugh and
some people to mimic her.
"I
think," Clinton concluded, "we could cut right through a lot of their
claims."
