The Humor About Hillary

A Hillary-ous Take on Everyone’s Favorite Democrat

by Jonathan J. Judge, Editor-in-Chief

Most politicians are the butts of many jokes, and the sources of many gaffes that, however scandal-scarred and despised one may be, immortalize their impact in that political era.

However, people in both parties have not been so in love with ridiculing a candidate as much as they are with Hillary Clinton.

This book, written by Robert Myers, successfully captures the humor behind the anti-Hillary movement of American society.

There’s a bit of anecdotal sentiments about the Senator from New York, such as a barber--also a registered Democrat--offering that he prefers John Kerry because “he only has two faces.”

Then there are the celebrity takes on Hillary, such as Joan Rivers, who quipped, “I think Hillary Clinton’s It Takes a Village refers to the number of people needed to do her makeup.”

Of course, no such book would be complete without countless slip-ups and self-deprecating one-liners from Her Aspiring Highness, like this one on her media strategy: “If I want to knock a story off the front page, I just change my hairstyle.”

All in all, it’s an entertaining read on the Democrat whom red and blue-state Americans love to loathe.
