Hillary is Hilarious. I confirmed it this morning when a tweet led me to her Buzzfeed Interview for the Another Round podcast. At first I thought this was a parody interview for the Onion or Currant, but I listened and it's really her! An excerpt:
HILLARY CLINTON: The weirdest thing about me is that I don’t sweat.
ANOTHER ROUND: Obviously. Best argument for Hillary as a robot: zero sweat.
HILLARY CLINTON: You guys are the first to realize that I’m really not even a human being. I was constructed in a garage in Palo Alto a very long time ago. People think that, you know, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, they created it. Oh no. I mean, a man whose name shall remain nameless created me in his garage.
ANOTHER ROUND: Are there more of you?
HILLARY CLINTON: I thought he threw away the plans, at least that’s what he told me when he programmed me — that there would be no more. I’ve seen more people that kind of don’t sweat, and other things, that make me think maybe they are part of the new race that he created: the robot race.
ANOTHER ROUND: So there’s a cyborg army is what you’re saying.
HILLARY CLINTON: But you have to cut this, you can’t tell anybody this. I don’t want anybody to know this. This has been a secret until here we are in Davenport, Iowa, and I’m just spillin’ my electronic guts to you.
This woman has seen and been through it all, including relentless pounding beginning with racists in Arkansas, continued with the VRWC of the '90s (yes -- there was and is one), through the 2000's and 2010's Benghazi-email vendetta, all aided and abetted by the supine media, including the hardly liberal New York Times. And through it all, she's retained a great sense of humor.
I'm not a comic, but I know great material when I see it.
