Hillary Clinton's laugh is now call by many as a cackle, alluding to the laughter of the witches, especially that of the Wicked Witch of the West from the Wizard of Oz.
Here's a news segment:
Does her laugh reveal something deeper, i.e. stress as the some have proposed? I personally think that it's great to laugh; it lightens the mood a bit, but then other people might be offended by it.

Her laugh does seem really calculated and fake :\
The way she randomly bursts out laughing seems even disrespectful at times.
but "I am joyful." :D

I agree with Annie in that her laugh does seem fake. I don't really understand the advantage of laughing in the middle of a question even if it does get her out of answering it. She simply comes off as being rude towards the interviewer. Hopefully she just has uncontrollable laughter and isn't trying to use it as a way to avoid unwanted questions.
When I'm really tired I laugh and giggle. I can't imagine how many hours she travels and works each day.
Showing warmth is important. In 2004, people felt very cold towards Kerry because he did not come off as a personality.
When you watch Hillary Clinton in a debate, her laughter doesn't come up as often as the YouTube video suggests. I think what's more important is what she says.
I truely believe that how she is laughing has nothing to do with what is going on in her life. I have never heard of someones laugh changing because of stress. I just feel that it isnt that important.
I think the best part of that segment is the fact that they're reporting on a Daily Show segment? What? I just seems kind of funny to me that this news story is about another "news" story from a fake news TV show. Since when have Jon Stewart's jokes been newsworthy? He's great.
I do have a friend, who when nervous or tired, starts laughing. It seems completely unnatural when my friend does it, but it really can be a nervous/tired habit.
