Hillary Comes with Proper Instructions

Hillary Clinton to Show More Humor and Heart, Aides Say, read Marquel, TPVs NYTimes Good Cheer Section correspondent. And then he fell asleep.

Staff members say the noise and distractions of modern campaigning have obscured these sides of Mrs. Clinton’s personality. But many people who actually know her, thought Marquel, think of her as a cold fish.

Could Hillary turn into Bubba overnight?

Apparently, with the proper instructions she can do almost anything.

“She just needs a good handler,” one of her aides told me. Sure enough, after receiving a memo from her handler to apologize for the emails, she was on tv ten minutes later apologizing for the private email server. “It was my responsibility,” she admitted. I checked her memos, and there it was, “Say ‘it was my responsibility.'”

If nothing else, Hillary is obedient. When her corporate funders ask her to do something, It’s clear they’ll get it. She’s the ideal pet. It makes you wonder what Bill found lacking. Maybe he didn’t use memos. She needs them because she forgets.

For instance in her last run for the presidency Hillary never apologized for voting in favor of the Iraq war, but she continually forgot she had anything to do with that war.

But with funny if well written memos, they’ve convinced Hillary to say that campaign finance reform is on her agenda.

“That’s a first,” her aide told me.

Her advisers told me that they found the best source was, “Old Jews Telling Jokes.” She even started to tell the Aristocrats, but that was deemed too risky, even though she had changed the punch line to, “we call ourselves the Clintons!”
