Watch Hillary Clinton walk in and accept kisses on the cheek from Jake Tapper and Roland Martin. This was last night's CNN town hall:
ADDED: How is Sanders greeted? Tapper leans forward with an extended hand and, after the handshake, pats him on the back a few times. Martin extends his hand and, during the handshake, uses his left hand to grip Sanders's upper arm.

Backstage they were probably kissing her ring. #Godfather
Did they greet Bernie with a peck on the cheek! Weird.
Jason, beat me to it.
The cheeks on her face?

No, they were acting like ordinary reporters and kissing her other cheeks.
The MSM and establishment pols are all friends.
There will be no kissing of Ted Cruz.
" because she's a lady"
The Lady Who Wears Pants
Sad!
It's a good reminder to us that they are all on the same, other team.
It's the truth. That's good.
We wouldn't want to forget which team they are on.
This is what elected Bush over Gore. Bush went on Oprah's show. He gave her a very gentlemanly kiss. Next day Gore goes on, and shakes her hand. "No Kiss!" she exclaimed. How many middle aged, middle class women voted for Bush.
Because it's national TV, he had to kiss the facial cheek not the other one.
"Love! You are love!
Better far than a metaphor
Can ever, ever be.
Love! You are love!
My mystery of love!"
I was like "WTF" when I saw that, too.
How did they miss her butt?
The DNC hack press lick and kiss their fellow dems.
You don't need objectivity or curiosity in journalism. Hillary should be indicted and the only thing keeping her afloat is her fawning press who never mention the Clinton's criminal behavior.
The Clinton corrupt list
Clinton's answer last night to a follow-up question from Tapper about last week's debate also was interesting. She detailed her assertion that she is not a professional politician like Bill Clinton or Obama. In particular, she implied both husband Bill and Obama were best at being in permanent campaign mode. She glowed when she talked about Bill's skill at that.
When The Lady Who Wears Pants is stomping on America's face forever we'll all just be grateful she never wears a skirt.
"Hillary should be indicted and the only thing keeping her afloat is her fawning press who never mention the Clinton's criminal behavior."
The GOP freakshow has given them a nice distraction. We haven't heard squat in the papers since Hillary's server-guy took an immunity deal.
Makes Hillary look weak. Nice job, guys
Nope - if they do that they have to kiss Bernie Sanders as well.
Further proof that the minions of the CriminalLiberalMedia are Dem-Cong operatives with a byline.
I would say, Totally Normal, in the sense that she, and they, are part of the same club, good and dear friends. I greeted a lady from my old neighborhood the same way yesterday upon seeing her at the grocery store, and then again outside with a young lady - 30 something - who was from the same neighborhood and a classmate of my daughter's.
Question - do the moderators meet and greet the candidates backstage before the debates? If so, was Carly Fiorina treated the same way? Or is this just totally lefty msn bias?
Watch Hillary Clinton walk in and accept kisses on the cheek from Jake Tapper
What are the odds CNN journalists would give a Republican woman such a show of support?
The left criticizes Tapper with the implication he's a closet conservative, but what they're noticing is that he still does his job even when facing people he ultimately supports. Isn't it interesting this sets him so apart from other (non-Fox) journalists the left recognizes his otherness?
This reminds me on economics departments on campus. Most humanities faculty are so far left there are literally no conservatives and only a relative handful of liberals. Economics leans left, about 2/3 to 1/3, with the 1/3 including centrists and libertarians. But even a measurable minority of non-leftists is so atypical people often claim economics departments are conservative.
Beats having to kiss her orange peel ass.
That's no lady. That's Bill Clinton's wife.
Jesus Christ, they looked like talk show hosts greeting a guest.
Curious,
Don't you think that makes her look weak? That's what they do to the old lady guests.
Hillary Clinton attended Nancy Reagan's funeral.
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/12/us/politics/nancy-reagan-funeral.html?_r=0
George W. Bush sat next to Michelle Obama, and Mr. Bush’s wife, Laura, sat next to Hillary Clinton.
At the funeral, Nancy Reagan's daughter, Patti Davis, gave an eulogy:
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/patti-davis-moving-eulogy-mom-nancy-reagan-funeral-article-1.2561715
In the eulogy, she said:
A few days before she died, I reminded her of something that happened decades ago when we lived in Pacific Palisades. My father used to get massages from a large Eastern European man who would come to the house and set up his massage table in my parents' dressing room. On one of these days, as my father lay face down on the table, my mother tiptoed in, kissed him lightly on the back of his neck and tiptoed out. He didn't know it was her, but he went through the rest of the massage, he never said a word.
And after the masseur left, he said to my mother, ‘I don't think we can have him back anymore.’ ‘Why,’ she asked him, ‘what happened.’
‘Well, he kissed me.’
When she told him it was her, he was flooded with relief and said, ‘Thank God, I didn't know what to do.’
Now, you know the rest of the story.
Hillary Clinton has got to fake kindness. She is a very inauthentic person.
She probably requested the kisses.
Deniability.
"The Lady Who Wears Pants"
What does that even mean?
You'd think Tapper would be concerned about catching Hillary's nasty cough.
And Tapper is the best of them. I there any tape of him greeting Sarah Palin, I wonder.
Thomas Dimassimo: "I spat on my hand before I shook [Trump's]."
Jake Tapper: "I spat on my lips before I kissed you."
I have to say that Hillary showed more class than Obama but that doesn't mean a very high bar. Maybe it was a first lady thing.
Wouldn't that amount to rape if a college student??
Since Mrs. Clinton gets a kiss, maybe Kasich should get a hug, and Trump a chest bump.

Maybe, but if true an unintended consequence.
Since when do moderators wear brown shoes with a blue suit?
@grimson,
...and Trump a chest bump.
Or, maybe with Trump, they should go full bore Klingon, smacking their large, bony foreheads together & yelling "Qaplah"!
Since when do moderators wear brown shoes with a blue suit?
I saw someone the other day in my neighborhood leaving for work in a black suit with brown shoes. (smh)
I thought of Elton John when I read of them kissing Hillary:
I want to kiss the bride yeah
Please let me kiss the bride yeah
Long before she met him
She was mine, mine, mine
Don't say I do
Say bye, bye, bye
And let me kiss the bride yeah
I assume the moderators are bragging on their friends now I Kissed Hillary! as if it's something laudable.

Only if he's ugly.
"Chuck said...

Moderators? Dunno. But brown shoes with blue suits is all the range with the hipsters.
Tapper later revealed that he had on Trojan prophylactic lips when he kissed Hillary.
Whatever respect I may have had for Tapper as a journalist is a dim memory.....and fading fast.
So it is official then? It really is the Clinton News Network?
This is making mountains out of molehills. Similar to current "correct bra sizing" trend.

Made famous in an episode of Get Smart.
"at least a veneer of professionalism"
I want more than a veneer.
I notice that as of 3:00 EDT the "Totally normal" and "Special..." responses have garnered (love that word!) 38 votes, a bit over 2%, which ought to hearten Althouse. Knowing your audience is less than 3% retarded and/or insane must be an unalloyed good.
He's only playing proper obeisance to Queen Cacklepants,* the Dowager Emoress of Chappaqua.** Show some respect for your betters, in case the Alinskyite Witch gets elected; else there'll a bunk in the Re-Education Camp with your name on it.
*Jim Treacher, as far as I know.
**Camille Paglie; ditto.
The whole "lady" line is pushing the bounds of reality. That's no lady,that's Billy Jeff Meatwhjistle's wife.
Not even a pretense of integrity.
I voted 'lady'. Who cares what the etiquette is in this situation? We're making it up as we go. Cheek-kiss is very classy, very European, you know. People kiss the Queen on the cheek, I'm sure.
Did Hillary try to slip him the tongue?
I think they should be required to kiss Bernie too.
And while we're at it, what's with the air kisses next to the cheek? Let's be real, and have the CNN people just lay a big wet one right on Bernie's and Hillary's posteriors.
I'd be okay with it in the old-school Family Feud kind of way if they also kissed Fiorina and gave the male candidates side-hugs.
Were you actually expecting them to kiss Bernie, too? Is this one of those women-in-combat kinds of questions?
Isn't it a good thing that their biases are so clearly on display? I think even the most oblivious MSM outlets are beginning to realize that no one buys the unbiased schtick anymore. So why bother?
No Caesar's wife here; avoid even the appearance of impropriety is outside of her skill set. Probably the avoidance of impropriety is also outside of her skill set.
I'll bet Tapper was confused when she presented her *facial* cheek for him to kiss ....
Brando: "The GOP freakshow has given them a nice distraction. We haven't heard squat in the papers since Hillary's server-guy took an immunity deal"
Oh, right. "The republicans" is why the media doesn't report on Hillarys activities.
Uh huh.
Since the moderators want access more than credibility. The kiss signals that the encounter will not be adversarial in any way.
