In what some party insiders are calling a Hail Mary bid to win Tuesday's New Hampshire primary, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton today attempted to repackage herself as a black man.
In the wake of her disappointing third-place finish in the Iowa caucuses, there was consensus among Clinton's campaign aides that her presidential bid needed to be rebooted, but few party professionals expected her to change her race and sex with only five days to go until New Hampshire.
According to Clinton strategist Mark Penn, however, Clinton's decision to become an African-American man was thoroughly consistent with her history as a "change agent."
"Hillary is all about change, and changing her race and sex is just the most recent example of that," he said.
Speaking at a rally in Manchester, N.H., Clinton thanked her supporters for "keeping it real" and promoted her just-released autobiography, "The Bodacicty of Hope."
"This election is about whether or not America is ready to elect a black man president of the United States," she said. "I believe I am that black man."
Meanwhile, former president Bill Clinton was dismissive of rival John Edwards's comparison of himself to Seabiscuit, remarking that "in addition to being a black man, Hillary has for many years been a world-class horse."
Bill Clinton made his comments in an interview on PBS's "Charlie Rose Show," in which the former president, looking bleary-eyed and unshaven, touted Clinton's victory in last year's Belmont Stakes.
Elsewhere, embattled GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney unveiled a new campaign slogan, "What the Huck?!"
Alright, alright, you guys got me. I didn’t post a “satire” keyword on purpose (and I didn’t post the author’s name - also on purpose!)

Don’t you remember last year when she was speaking

“I come toooo farrrr”
She is the queen of plastic bananas.
Her new name will be Abdul-Jamal Martinez
"I was born a poor black child. I remember the days, sittin' on the porch with my family, singin' and dancin' down in Mississippi."
"Navin Johnson, a none-too-bright white boy raised by a family of black sharecroppers, ... "I was born a poor black child."----Navin Johnson (Steve Martin)",

She’ll also be able to claim that she was the first black man and woman to apply to be an astronaut....lol
Sure, black is the new white.
Randy Quaid?
If Bubba was the first black president, Hillary was the first black first lady - by injection (Theoretically)
She may as well. Everyone else does
lol
Where else but America can you be born a poor black boy and die a rich white woman?
I aint no ways tired!
“She’ll also be able to claim that she was the first black man and woman to apply to be an astronaut....lol”
LOL...that jogs my failing memory. Didn’t she once say that she had tried to get into the Marines? I hope someone is compiling a lengthy record of the lies Bill and Hill have told, just in case the Dems are stupid enough to nominate her.
