IF you want a tragic example of the ravages of limelight deprivation, look no further than
Hillary Clinton.
Once the US Democratic Party’s candidate for the most powerful job in the world, she now is reduced to reading aloud extracts from a trashy book about the actual President, Donald Trump, for a prerecorded skit on the Grammy Awards.
“He had a long-time fear of being poisoned, one reason why he liked to eat at McDonald’s. Nobody knew he was coming, and the food was safely pre-made,” the former Secretary of State intones, reading from Michael Wolff’s gossipy tome, Fire and Fury.
It was embarrassing. The fact that, of all the stories in the book, Clinton chose to highlight a far-fetched theory for why Trump loves McDonalds just shows that she doesn’t understand how badly her snobbishness plays in places where people she dismisses as “deplorables” don’t sneer at Big Macs.
Hillary’s husband Bill was a notorious fan of Big Macs during his presidency and no one ever accused him of paranoia.
Clinton’s self-debasement in pursuit of publicity doesn’t end there. Last week she used unseemly language in a bizarre video shared on twitter by a HuffPo commentator.
“Hey everyone, I just wanted to say thanks. Thanks for your feminism, for your activism, and all I can hope is you keep up the really important, good work,” Clinton said.
Then, after an off-camera prompt, she adds, “And let me just say, this is directed to the activist bitches supporting bitches, so let’s go.”
So, Julia Gillard might want to rethink her new project working with Clinton to “challenge negative stereotypes” of women. They’ll need a new strategy. Calling women “bitches” isn’t going to work.
Clinton and her Trump hating celebrity pals Snoop Dogg and Cher can read book extracts on TV till they go blue in the face. All they prove that Trump’s success is driving them mad.
is this a first for an ex wannabee.?.. Grammy Awards!!!! seriously?...
