Pffftt. Pipe down. You havent 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 Clintonahem, I mean run for presidentand 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 vanand what may have been the weirdest Ohio Chipotle visit ever. (In short, Hillary wore sunglasses inside like a Vegas mobster, she didnt talk to anyone, and then the New York Times ran a full scientific microanalysis of the nutrition content of her order.)
However, theres 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 1990s Mentos commercial. Everyday Americans need a champion, and I want to be that champion.
There are several things wrong with this, so well 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 championwe can talk about your troubling experience-based cynicism deficit laterwould 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, Im 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!
Where is the PETA disclaimer : NO JOURNALIST WERE HURT IN THIS PUBLICITY STUNT ?
Tune up the song from Queen, We are the champions ...
Queen queer... The queen queer champion
This blogger Heather Wilhelm is really, really good,and quite funny...I read her regularly..check out the links to her earlier columns.
Everyday “ selected “ Iowans, then there is everyday Iowans Peions...
Kash for “Klunkers” program ?
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.
Marking. She’s a good read.
THANKS FOR CLEARING UP WHO WAS IN THAT PHOTO.
SHE IS TOTALLY UN QUALIFIED TO BE ANY TYPE LEADER, BUT A ‘CHAMPION’ GET REAL DEMOCRATS, GET BETTER WRITERS...YOU ALL ARE GETTING JUST TOO ENTERTAINING...
WAKE UP VOTERS, LET THEM HEAR US ROAR IN NOV. 2016. AND LET THEM WEEP IN JAN. 2017....
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. :-)
Thelma and Louise do Iowa. LOL!
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.
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:
