Hillary Clinton Laughs and Laughs, like Nero Who Fiddled when Rome was Burning

Hillary Rodham Clinton, our Secretary of State reacted in way that would not have been expected from any Secretary of State or any senior administration officials. She was at a press conference with Moroccan Prime Minister, when a reporter asked her "Madam Secretary, do you have any clarity on the Somali pirate situation?"

Clinton's reply was:

We're deeply concerned and we're following it very closely. Um... (pause) You know... Specifically we are now focused on this particular act of piracy and the seizure of a ship that, uh, carries 21 American citizens. More generally, we think the world must come together, uhh, to end the scourge of piracy. I think Morocco was the very first country that recognized us, going back a -- a -- a long time, and, uh, uh, we worked together to end piracy off the coast of Morocco (cackling) all those years ago! (cackling louder) and, uh, we're going to work together, uh, to end, uh, this kind of criminal activity anywhere on the high seas.

Just watch the video for yourself and look at the way she laughs after the words "we worked together to end piracy off the coast of Morocco" and then continues laughing louder and longer after the words "all those years ago!"

Anyone who is patriotic would be bleeding though their eyes to see our Secretary of State laughing so loudly when asked about a crisis situation in which one American citizen has been taken hostage by a group of Pirates.

Don't this attitude of Hillary and her action remind us of Nero who fiddled while Rome burned? Didn't anyone in the administration keep her updated about the seriousness of the situation?
