The Gift Hillary Clinton Needs for Her 75th Birthday [Please do chime in with your own idea, Freepers]
National Review ^ | 10/26/2022 | Jack Butler

Today is Hillary Clinton’s 75th birthday, as Luther noted. Earlier this week, the former first lady, U.S. senator, secretary of state, and current not-president celebrated with “about 100 of her top donors and longtime supporters at the St. Regis in New York to talk about her future,” Teddy Schleifer of Puck reported. No, she won’t be running for anything. But she is thinking about her legacy. So “she has been pitching donors on a new philanthropic entity called the Hillary Rodham Clinton Leadership Project,” according to Schleifer. He continues:

The new Clinton initiative will both highlight what Clinton has already done, particularly for women around the world, and serve as a new home for Clinton to talk about her own philanthropic work going forward—on democracy, global health and leadership development.

So Hillary spent her birthday figuring out how to profit from the same brand-driven, elite-level arbitrage that she and her husband have depended on ever since the end of his presidency. (And before that presidency’s end.) Points for consistency, I guess. What certain people and institutions see in Hillary, so much so that they continue to pointlessly reward and elevate her — as a paragon of “leadership!” — well after her political utility has expired, is beyond me.

When it seemed likely that she would become president, all those donations to the “Clinton Global Initiative” — since dried up — at least made a crude political sense, even as they were the quintessence of modern elite corruption. A President Hillary — just typing the words suffices to make one shudder, especially this close to Halloween — would be someone you’d want to have exchanged favors with. But failed-candidate Hillary? The one who spends her days stewing about the past and engaging in the same kind of election denialism she condemns when it comes from the other side? What’s the point?

Indeed, the best present Hilary Clinton could give herself on her 75th birthday would be to remove herself from public life. She should spend her remaining years in pleasant quietude, being with her grandchildren, going on walks, and tinkering with powered-exoskeleton builds. Her retirement would double as a welcome gift for the rest of us.

Lysol Feminine (?) Freshener Spray . . . intensified for that cabbage and stale urine smell. Now in the special 6-gallon spray bottle. Expect it to last for three applications.

Spackle, so she can seal up that gash in her face. The stupid keeps leaking out.

Product names… for instance, if “Janitor In A Drum” made a douche, nobody would buy it, man! It’d be like “Raid Feminine Hygiene Spray”…“Raid! Aaaaugh!” They call them “feminine hygiene sprays”… they’re under-leg deodorants, y’know!

Oof, not another.

This was actually enacted on Howard Stern’s “New Year’s Rotten Eve” pay-per-view thingy from back in 1994. (Remember PPV?)

Lock her up!

Funny how that worked. They must not have been able to find her address to mail the checks after she lost the election.
