Hillary Booed at McCartney's Twin Tower Relief Concert

New York Senator Hillary Clinton was roundly booed at former Beatle Paul McCartney's Twin Tower relief concert, held at Manhattan's Madison Square Garden Saturday night.

The embarrassing moment came as Mrs. Clinton introduced a short video clip from stand-up comic Jerry Seinfeld.

Though the former first lady has tried to capitalize on the Twin Tower tragedy, thrusting herself before one TV camera after another in an effort to connect with average New Yorkers and advance her 2004 presidential ambitions, McCartney's concert showed the effort still needed more work.

One eyewitnesses to the scene reported to the web site FreeRepublic.com that Clinton "was booed so loudly, she had to yell into the mike to be heard."

Another estimated that "90 percent" of the crowd jeered the former first lady.

Her husband, the former president, who was also present, got a much warmer reception.
