This was funny.  I saw video of it on Fox News Channel, and Hillary was pretty good on this.

Clinton's April Fools joke

By BETH FOUHY, Associated Press Writer
Tue Apr 1, 1:44 PM ET

PHILADELPHIA - Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton walked somberly into a press conference Tuesday and stood before microphones. Reporters tensed, sensing something big might be afoot.

"This has been a very hard fought race," she said. "We clearly need to do something so that our party and our people can make the right decision. So, I have a proposal."

The tension grew. Reporters shifted in their seats. Was she dropping out of the race? Offering to join rival Barack Obama as his running mate?

April Fools!

"Today, I am challenging Senator Obama to a bowl-off," Clinton said, provoking relieved laughs from the assembled scribes.

Considering that he bowled a 37 a few nights ago, my four year old nephew could beat Obama in a bowl-off . . .

She doesn't have a sense of humor. 

She shouldn't try.
