"Why is humor at the expense of Hillary Clinton something of a national pastime now?" laments the subheader to a teaser headline on MSNBC.com's front page today, "Why comics have a field day with Hillary."
In the story itself, MSNBC's Adam Howard complaints that Hillary is the victim of "sexism" and cartoonish caricatures of her character, rather than on "facts" (emphasis mine):
The former first lady and current 2016 presidential candidate is depicted here and in virtually every other American comedy routine as a scheming careerist who sees her husbands rise to power as little more than a springboard for her own ambition. Its a compelling comedic conceit, albeit one largely based on public projections instead of facts. Despite the inherent sexism in virtually all the spoofs, the parodies have endured because they are often quite funny and voters may suspect they contain a kernel of truth.

‘the Obama have proven frustratingly hard for mainstream comedians to mock’
HIs kneepads must be well used. The Obama are devastatingly easy to mock, but the ‘mainstream comedians’ haven’t done it as a means of self-preservation. Does this lapdog thank any of the visible comedians want to get audited? Lose access? Be called out or ridiculed on the National Stage like FoxNews is constantly (for telling the truth)?

This is actually very interesting, as it may indicate a civil war within the Left, between the Hillery camp, versus whoever Obama wants to run instead of Hillery.
