It’s so 3:00 a.m. and I’m in charge.
It’s power, baby.
The ultimate Hillary Effect, which has been earned.
That “Texts From Hillary” on Tumblr has gone viral is due to Secy. Clinton’s Madonna meets Gaga pop culture cool aboard a C-17, which was Malta bound for Libya at the height of a crisis, which she managed through getting the Arab League to sign on to NATO bombing.
What it transmits about Hillary to her fans is nothing new. That it’s making a dent among her most strident critics on the left is.
Hillary’s soaring approval rating wasn’t enough. But the new sensation on Tumblr has even gotten the attention of the most anti-Hillary 2008 new media site on the left, TPM. You remember, the boys who thought talking to female voters was a waste of time.
Women are just the majority vote today, with using our power brewing when the Hillary Effect exploded. Her historic campaign caused a shift for women and was the original game changer. Sarah Palin was the proof, ask HBO. The Republican war on women is showing what we can do: turn U.S. politics upside down all the way to Rush.
Now women rule, Hillary’s put them at the front of her diplomacy, with Pres. Obama needing the women’s vote to prevail in November, as does every politician in the country.
Hillary’s the ultimate globe trotting political rock star, who also happens to be everyone’s fantasy president right now.
How could she not be?
Barack Obama is still in search of a slogan for his reelection campaign, with an opponent who looks so bad right now it makes everyone want to hit snooze until November, with swing independents the subject we’ll all choke on until it’s over.
“Texts From Hillary” rescues us all from political boredom, putting the sexy back into service.
“Texts from Hillary” on Tumblr is now so globally popular, credit for pictures and images have now been added to the dueling two-shot message.
Ah, the price of going viral.
The Washington Post didn’t get it and critiqued it as Hillary the “phone addict.” MSNBC went for “Clinton at her coolest,” a far cry from the Keith Olberman – Chris Matthews’ mean boy screeds. Now everyone’s grabbed on.
While Chuck Todd asks GOPers questions about whether team Obama is coasting while laughing at the prospects of running against Mitt Romney, who can’t even close against Rick Santorum, the rest of us are looking for a distraction.
When the Charlotte Observer reported on Monday that Secy. Clinton wouldn’t be at the Democratic convention, following a tradition by other secretaries of state, the manipulated headlines popped. Huffington Post comments exploded, because Amanda Terkel’s piece came with a headline blaring Hillary was “skipping” the Democratic convention, which was also picked up by Slate. The Atlantic preferred “Hillary Has Better Things to Do Than Attend the Democratic Convention.”
Former Pres. Bill Clinton will be attending.
The rest of us will watch “Texts From Hillary,” because while Democrats are converging on a right-to-work state, staying in anti-union hotels, Hillary will be kicking up global dust.
What she won’t be doing is vamping until 2016.

INDEED! Apparently ol limpy is NO LONGER GOING TO BE IN THE PHILADELPHIA MARKET!!!!!!!!
So much for “we have advertisers lined up” and “boycotts don’t work”
Hillary is just as much a centrist as Obama is. I hope she runs in 2016. I’ll donate and campaign for her just as hard as I donated and campaigned for Obama in 2008 and 2012:
Obama/Biden in 2012
Saved GM/Killed BinLaden
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…….pick up your check on the way out, fanboy.
heh heh
more like
Obama/Biden in 2012
Saved Wall Street/Killed Middle Class
Your ilk simply don’t get macroeconomics! Bailing out Wall Street was a necessary evil. This country would be where the EU is without it and if you think a President Hillary Clinton wouldn’t have done exactly the same then you truly are a fool!
Saving Wall Street and the banks is one thing, but saving them and allowing them to continue as before is another. They should have been held to account.
Solo, you don’t help yourself or your arguments by calling someone a fool and littering your comments with exclamation marks.
Rick I just love how you do these contortions to avoid the point, which was, Hillary would have done the exact same thing. The Obama Administration is filled which ex Clinton officials.
Yeah, scuttlebutt is they traveled back to the 80′s in Air Force Ω to accomplish this.
That attitude right there is why Hillary lost to Obama in 2008. Keep that up and history will repeat itself in 2016.
What attitude would that be, Solo?
The attitude that we “ilk” have that it’s ok to criticize the President. I seriously don’t know where we get off. Do we really want JONES back??
Baa waa waa. I think the fan boyz have shown without a doubt how bad their judgement has been. Nobody is going to listen to you in 2016 after seeing Obama in action.
Keep being a dismissive asshole! That will work wonders with people in 2016. Keep it up all the way through 2016 and I will make sure to book my hotel room well in advance so I can be in DC Jan 2017 to see Joe Biden be sworn in as our 45th President on the United States of America.
Obama planning an unprecedented Bloombergesque 3rd term now is he? Wouldn’t be that much of a surprise really.
Y’all calm down. Mama’s in charge.
You Clinton supporters are making some rather huge assumptions about 2016!
And why not? The country needed her in 2008, needs her more in 2012, and will desperately need her in 2016.
That attitude right there is what I was referencing earlier. The idea that all of reality hinges on this one person is laughable. If you Clinton supporters go out there and make the argument you are making that this country simply can’t survive without Hillary at the helm all you will accomplish is to turning off lots and lots of people. Maybe even the majority. Add that to a credible opponent and I can see 2008 happening all over again. For the record, this country didn’t need any of it’s President’s. This country is bigger than any individual person.
Solo, you are arguing against positions nobody here has taken.
You Clinton supporters are making some rather huge assumptions about 2016!
This coming from a guy who has already sworn in President Joe Biden on January 20, 2017. Keep up the great comedy work, Solo.
Your reading comprehension needs some work.
So, I’m interested in how you think the President killed the middle class? I would have thought that it was George Bush and republicans in congress that killed the middle class. I would think that it is the Ryan budget that will end medicare, end Pell grants, slash SS, give more tax breaks to the 1% at the expense of the middle class that is killing the middle class. I would also think that what has been going on in states like Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Florida and a handful of other states controlled by the republicans that, that is what is killing the middle class. Also the war on women’s rights do not seem to be coming from the President or democrats, and these attacks and laws will help in killing the middle class.
So, tell me again…How is the President killing the middle class?
Don’t confuse the Obama haters on this site with facts. Let them believe the fantasy that former Walmart board member Hillary Clinton would be governing any differently than President Obama is.
Didn’t fight for the public option.
Rolled over on the extension of the Bush tax cuts.
Didn’t fight for a properly sized stimulus.
Failed to hold the banks responsible after 2009.
Didn’t even address Glass-Steagull.
There’s a start for you.
No regulation on Wall St., check out Rolling Stone’s Matt Tabbi on the new “jobs” bill, the Great Aetna Bailout of 2010, putting cuts to Medicare and SS on the table, the Gang of Six “super congress critter cat food commission,” but, above all else, the constant carping against those who would protest his shelvingof what were once core Democratic Party ideals.
But then, remember, Obama has always preferred his Repub predecessors, (Eisenhower, Reagan) to those of the party in which he nominally belongs.
But I suspect what’s really bugging the Obamabots about this post is merely that it flatters Clinton. Can’t leavethe comparison that it invites just hanging there, can you? Understandable.
meant in reply to Solo.
Here’s the problem with Obama: he does sins of omission. While those Republicans are committing sins of commission, Obama just sits on the sideline doing nothing or whining he can’t do anything.
You actually believe that crap!
Yes, actually.
Yes, how many times have we heard Obama can’t do this or can’t do that because pick your excuse: he’s not a dictator, the blue dogs won’t go along with him, etc. when the real problem is that he’s too wimpy and the minute the GOP puts up a fight, he completely gives up and gives in.
Angels~ All good points but Rick makes good points too about Obama not fighting. He appears to trust in the bi-partisan myth. Maybe less now?
I think solo must be around 12 or 13 judging by the way he argues. Anyone who critizes is a hater, Hillary and Obama are interchangeable,resorting to name calling, all very tiresome..
Taylor, I don’t need a fainting couch when someone uses profanity. I use it and love it myself and don’t see the need for ***** when everybody knows what is meant. What I do object to is direct name calling, e.g., Solo’s use of asshole and fool in this one thread. Where does that get us?
baa waa waa Joe biden sworn in as president??? He’s already run about five times and no one has wanted him–he never even came close so he’s not going to be president. He has missed his chance time and again.
I wonder if Hillary will ever be as popular as Sarah Palin.
I think you got that backwards and should be asking if Sara Palin will ever be as popular as Hillary. Right now Sarah has dog numbers.
I love these. First saw them on Facebook. Taylor, your remark about not “vamping until 2016,”
spoken like a true show-biz vet.
BO: Hey hill, whatchu doing?
HRC: Running the world.
Love it – Taylor, thanks for posting this – the tumblr feeds are great fun and made my day!
And Hillary is so rockin’ that look. She looks fabulous. I love when she tells Zuckerburg to get shirts with big boy collars.
The pics are way cool.
My favorite’s are the ones with Sarah Palin seeking to be on the same level as Hillary with Hillary putting Palin in her place. Because that is the truth, Sarah Palin on her best day can’t come close to Hillary on Hillary’s worst day.
OMG, I fell out at “Bitch please”.
Thanks Taylor!
Hillary just sent in one herself! So awesome.
She is just fabulous. Love her so much. Check out the multiple bracelets on her arm.
She is fab and I Love her style!
I’m not surprised that Hillary is a fan of this site. She and Bill were fans of MXC, which is a rather off-beat comedy show.
