Comments: Expand Shrink Hide (Always) | Indented Flat (Always)
You're right, Granny: that's the ticket. Gotta give MSM what they really want, which is short, pithy memorable. The meme I'd like to see get out there (and I've posted once before) is this:
Proximity does not equal ability.
Saying that Hillary has Executive Branch experience is like saying Yoko Ono was a Beatle.

but I didn't credit JSN, because I want people to have to ASK me where I got it from.
I don't have a problem with putting it out there anonymously, and jsn may not be comfortable with the attention, should the line get as far as the MSM.
It's a great meme for the MSM to easily pick up because of the average age of the MSM politcal anchors, such as Matthews and MoDo. And it work perfectly against Hillary because of the demographic of her supporters.
I plan on spreading it far and wide.

...but credit is completely irrelevant. Please, anonymize, personalize and make it your own.
By the way, "Jsn" is just my vowell-less way of spelling "Jason".

people have already asked me where I got it!

That is a killer meme.

You clearly are trying to diss on her. Another woman who refused to play whatever role society deemed acceptable, and got bashed endlessly for it. Well, good for her.

the Yoko line is brilliant on so many levels! Although Yoko has largely redeemed herself now, lots of people in the late 60s were upset with her because she was "acting like she was a Beatle too." People frequently speculated that Ono including herself inappropriately was part of the reason the Beatles broke up.
You younguns have no idea what a big deal this was back then! :-D

blaming Yoko, blaming Linda... kind of silly, I think they were just growing apart anyway. John Lennon was my favorite Beatle, his values, brains and outspokeness are my idea of sexy

of her support stream, and hit the political anchors in a language they understand, and since it's a music reference, they think they will be hip if they use it.
Really, great on so many levels.
