Jeepers! Hillary's Campaign Is Even Creepier Than You Think

Pffftt. Pipe down. You haven’t been paying attention, friend. It is, at least in the cloistered world of the American media, The Week of Hillary. On Sunday, the former secretary of state announced her intention to enact her final, sweet, glorious revenge on the old ball and chain, Bill “Mr. Fun” Clinton—ahem, I mean “run for president”—and the coverage has been wall-to-wall since.

So far, the Hillary Show has been consistently hilarious, complete with a bizarre RoboCop-style, bulletproof, Secret Service-driven “casual” road trip van— a van named, oddly, “Scooby,” which is the cartoon dog, and not “The Mystery Machine,” which is the actual cartoon van—and what may have been the weirdest Ohio Chipotle visit ever. (In short, Hillary wore sunglasses inside like a Vegas mobster, she didn’t talk to anyone, and then the New York Times ran a full scientific microanalysis of the nutrition content of her order.)

However, there’s also bad news: Behind the scenes, the Clinton campaign is even creepier than you might think. “Americans have fought their way back from tough economic times, but the deck is still stacked in favor of those at the top,” Hillary declared in her announcement video, which looked suspiciously like a 1990’s Mentos commercial. “Everyday Americans need a champion, and I want to be that champion.”

There are several things wrong with this, so we’ll start with the obvious: Who in America older than the age of 12 wants a politician to be their “champion”? Moreover, if you do want a politician to be your champion—we can talk about your troubling experience-based cynicism deficit later—would you honestly choose one who has “Creature of the D.C. Foreign Donor/Big Banking/Conflict-of-Interest/Question-Dodging/General Corruption Borg” written all over her? (As an aside, I’m guessing that Elizabeth Warren is wondering this too.)

It bugs me to no end that she’s trying to associate herself with the Scooby van.

Just leave me with my fond memories!

She has her lady friend with her, she’s spotted incognito at Chipotle, she thinks she is looking very mysterious and cool, this whole charade looks more like Austin Powers shag wagon not the fun loving Scooby cartoon van.

I believe the correct word is ‘jinkies’...

Wondering when we’ll start seeing the photoshops of Hillary as Velma, glasses and all.

Then again, maybe that’s a very bad idea.

Some people have suggested she is being set up as someone for the “real” dem candidate to take down. Nothing would surprise me.

p.s. I agree with you and what you have to say is worth reading, so please don’t use all caps. It’s hard to read and many of us tend to skip over it because of that. An OCCASIONAL all caps word for emphasis is easier on the eyes and doesn’t feel like being yelled at. :-)

It's a wonder Hillary could down a burrito bowl---she's puckered-up like a prune---attached to the progs w/ Crazy Glue tenacity.

God only knows what bloody gore she's planning to throw the snarling Planned Parenthood types---in order to up her bona fides with the genital-sniffing rubberizers.

IS THE "INEVITABLE, UNTOUCHABLE" HILLARY ANOTHER ERIC CANTOR IN THE MAKING?

The massively-funded Hillary is on the road, disguised as a "regular" American....despite a trail of criminal activities that would make organized crime blush.

STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE Then-Repub Majority Leader, Eric Cantor (Va), was considered untouchable and inevitable.

<><> Cantor had tons of money---spent 26X times his opponent's $100K.

<><> Cantor consistently polled an astounding 34 points ahead of his unknown opponent.

<><> Cantor was considered "inevitable" and "untouchable".

<><> Cantor had no ethics problems.

<><> Cantor sucked-up to an anti-tea party group.

<><> Cantor sucked up to the latino vote.

<><> Cantor showboated his leadership---was deeply into (gag) "diversity."

=============================================

BY CONTRAST HIS OPPONENT Brat:

<><> ran as Cantor's TERM LIMIT

<><> Brat roundly opposed, and was vociferous against amnesty,.

<><> Brat ran as a staunch conservative (now in Congress he has a conservative rating 100%.)

<><> On elections day, Brat got 18,000 more Repub out to the polls than the previous election that elected Cantor.

================================================

CANTOR IN DEFEAT----DUMBFOUNDED:
