Not the Onion: Senator Carper claims Hillary works hard for the money


If you pay close attention, on a second look at the video, some people in the audience seem to be laughing the senator's invocation of the song in a peculiar and may I say not complimentary way towards the hard work of the former first lady. So I looked up the song and I must say I remain puzzled as to what was causing them to laugh like that.  
The song, co-written by the singer, told a story of a woman who "works hard for [her] money". It was based on an actual encounter that Donna had with an exhausted rest room attendant named Onetta Johnson (at the iconic Los Angeles restaurant Chasen's), who was later mentioned in the song and featured on the album's back cover.[5]
According to MusicNotes.com, the song is performed in the key of A minor, with a tempo of 136 beats per minute.
What am I missing?

Hillary has never worked hard.

She just uses Hubbo's influence.

You need to change the lyric at the end:

She'll never sell out, she never will
'cept for a dollar bill

It is a Delaware state requirement that their senators be idiots.

April... It's not just Hillary talking. Go ahead take a look. I think you'll find it amusing.

She made 10 million giving speeches. That's only 40 speeches at a quarter million each. How much that works out to dollars per lie?
