Since Obama is taking us to Hell in a hand basket, I am in the market for a very large pannier so I don’t run out of supplies on the way there.

Along with the bribes, Hillary's pannier holds Obama's balls and his little dog too.

Yes, Mrs. Clinton is weighed down by many things, most of which are ignored and/or overlooked by a compliant media and her hordes of low-information voters, many of whom are not only brain-dead but actually dead.

A pannier of troubles follow Marie
From disaster to disaster she does flee
Whenever she Harf-ed
All of us barfed
Now a man replaces her as she wails “woe is me”.

It is fortunate, limerick-wise, that Harf rhymes with barf. has she been replaced permanently or do they just want her to pass her High School Equivalency test?

My first guess was a courtly dress designed w/ panniers.

18TH CENTURY COURT DRESS w/ PANNIERS--
designed by Isabelle De Borchgrave--made of paper.

Maybe not. He seems partial to cigars, perhaps because Hillary can’t take those from him.

Really, really funny! I wonder if she kept the Rose Law Firm files hidden there until the statute of limitations kicked in.

Excellent example. I wasn’t sure what one of those would look like, even though it was listed under the minor definitions. Nice work!

Hillary arrives in designer dress patterned after crack house wallpaper.

Will receive the coveted Gold-plated Knitting Needles statuette:
