Only in Wisconsin.

A student wearing a Bret Favre jersey and a cheese hat stood up to ask Sen Clinton a question at her event near Green Bay, WI today – only he never quite spit out a question in more than 3 minutes.

At first, Sen Clinton and the crowd were amused. “Oh I love cheeseheads!” she said. “I just got a button which said ‘cheeseheads for Clinton.’ It’s a prized possession now.”

The student said he’d been at Clinton’s rally in Kenosha on Saturday. “I really wanted to ask you a question there, but you didn’t call on me,” he said. “I was just thinking when I got home, how the heck can I get Hillary’s attention?”

“You figured it out,” she said as the crowd laughed.

But as the long seconds piled up and the kid talked about everything from President Clinton and Chelsea’s Wisconsin campaigning to the local officials who were hosting the event, the crowd turned. When he just kept plowing through even after the Senator thanked him for his remarks, the catcalls started.

“Am I taking too long here?” he asked. Their response made it pretty clear what the crowd thought. “I actually do have a question for you, it’s a real simple one,” he said. But still, no question.

“I have these great photos,” he said, holding up a stack of print-outs. The crowd groaned. “I had a catastrophe in Kenosha last night. My camera lost it’s battery. I just want to get one photograph with you, that’s it.”

Senator Clinton promised the student a photograph after the event, and he mercifully took his seat.
