Hillary Clinton is an odds-on favorite to be the next Democratic nominee for President of the United States, so when she mentioned a famous Portland doughnut shop Tuesday night, the sugar artists at Voodoo Doughnut took note.
Inspired by a famous photo of Clinton, Voodoo's staff in downtown Portland created a doughnut likeness of the former Secretary of State.
The doughnut depicts Clinton wearing sunglasses and checking her cell phone. If it looks familiar, it's because the image inspired by a whole Internet meme -- see textsfromhillaryclinton.tumblr.com.
Clinton was giving a quick preview of her speech Tuesday at the Keller Auditorium when she suggested it might be a long evening based on the wide range of topics she planned to cover. She joked she was "willing to order Voodoo Doughnuts for everybody. Those sugar highs can keep us going to breakfast."
Voodoo sent out a tweet of its Clinton doughnut the next morning and wrote, "Thanks for the shout out while in Portland!"
If you want to actually take a bite out of a Clinton doughnut, you're out of luck. Voodoo made only one doughnut at its downtown shop, and it was just for display.
Earlier this year, Voodoo paid tribute to Harold Ramis, the Ghostbusters star and comedy legend who died at the age of 69, by creating a Ghostbusters-themed doughnut. Voodoo made a number of Harold Ramis doughnuts and they sold out quickly.

“Hillary Clinton is an odds-on favorite to be the next Democratic nominee for President of the United States
That very statement tells me that America is over..........
“I might be too young— what’s the connection?”
I don’t know what the connection with the donut is. But Hubert Humphrey, Democrat and Bob Dole, Republican (sort of) were horrible candidates. Both lost and a blind man could have seen the loss coming. The hope is that Hillary is this generation’s connected politician who can work the levers to become the candidate but is so unappealing to the public that she will be another epic failure.
Hillary Clinton donut = two normal donuts joined at their holes
Got it. I hope you’re right...but I’ve lost a lot of faith in the electorate...obviously.
Ha! When I read the headline, I wondered if they wouldn’t just close that middle part a little more tightly.
Sounds like it missing the pretzel.
Classic Voodo Donut insider joke.
Never forget, it is all about the spoils.
Beat me to it!
Does it have “hail damage”? (cellulite dimples)
Now if someone can put a pencil in her hand and push her off a stage at some lame pep rally...
Someone just named a new doughnut after Hillary Clinton. You don`t eat it, you apply it directly to your ass.
