Hillary Clinton Smiles on 'Broad City', Scowls At Joe Scarborough With Thousands of Women on the Internet
/Hillary Clinton made her 'Broad City' cameo Wednesday night, sending Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer into convulsions. The duo bumps into Hillary in her Brooklyn office
As Ilana shows Abbi her former desk and the column she used to lean on while talking about important political issues, they're stopped in their tracks when Clinton herself walks in. Time seems to slow down and the former Secretary of State's wink sparks fireworks. When the friends are finally able to calm down, Ilana says to Clinton, "Sorry, we are just so excited." Looking both amused and confused by their reaction to her entrance, Clinton responds, "It's all right, just take your time."
Jezebel shares the story and one of the comments is priceless.
I met HRC once, on my 21st birthday. I was working at a Clinton Foundation fundraiser at the Museum of Natural History in NYC. They hadn’t told us anything about how the Clintons would enter and I just assumed they would come in the back through some super secret door or something.
They didn’t.
I was standing on the front steps greeting people when a big black car pulled up and out stepped HRC. I must have looked just like Abbi and Ilana - jaw to my chest, eyes the size of saucers. In person she is transcendent, she absolutely radiates both power and warmth. It’s mesmerizing - like the human embodiment of safety.
I was so transfixed I shrugged off a man who was gently pulling at my elbow, trying to shake my hand. He was pretty persistent, though, so I turned to give him a big terse, “WHAT?” Just in time for it to click into place that it was Bill. He was very nice about it and not at all angry that I’d both shaken him off and snapped at him.
By way of apology/trying to explain myself, I stammered something like, “I’m sorry, I just, Hillary...” and Bill just responded, “Don’t worry, it happens to everyone.”
How About A Little Smile, Madame Secretary
Women are not smiling at Joe Scarborough's tired advice for Hillary Clinton The Washington Post
"Smile. You just had a big night." Morning Joe's Joe Scarborough was among the penis pundits lighting up Twitter Tuesday night as Hillary Clinton won all five primary contests
"Smile. You just had a big night."
(Scarborough drew much less notice for his previous tweet, saying “what a massive night for @hillaryclinton.”)
The response from women on Twitter was, well, not so happy. “Frown. You just had a big night of proving you're a dope,” tech journalist Kara Swisher wrote. “Way to condescend to a potential future world leader,” wrote another. Plenty of women did respond with smiles -- in photos and GIFS that ranged from creepy toothy clowns to "Broad City's" Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson turning up the corners of their mouths with their fingers.
Hey, Hillary: Smile, Girl by Connie Schultz (wife of Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown) The Creators
On Tuesday night, Hillary Clinton did what even Hillary Clinton thought she wouldn't do: She swept the primaries. Missouri (barely), Illinois, North Carolina, Florida — she won them and my home state of Ohio, which is in the Eastern time zone, people. Boy am I tired of that question.
Clinton strolled her conquering self across the stage in Florida as results poured in, and she delivered a victory speech while some of the white guys in TV-land offered their critiques via Twitter.
MSNBC's Joe Scarborough: "Smile. You just had a big night."
Because nothing says "commander in chief" like a girlish grin for the camera.
Fox News' Brit Hume: "Hillary having a big night in the primaries. So she's shouting angrily in her victory speech. Supporters loving it. What's she mad at?"
Well, golly. Let's take a look at what she was saying.
This, for example:
"Our commander in chief has to be able to defend our country, not embarrass it; engage our allies, not alienate them; defeat our adversaries, not embolden them. When we hear a candidate for president call for rounding up 12 million immigrants, banning all Muslims from entering the United States, when he embraces torture, that doesn't make him strong; it makes him wrong."
Banning Muslims? Torture? Rounding up immigrants? Where are the punch lines, Madam Secretary? If you can't find a joke in this material, how will you ever make us laugh about the Islamic State group?
Read on. Schultz is such a bass-ass writer.
