See Hillary ride in a van! Watch her meet everyday Americans! Witness her ordering a burrito bowl at Chipotle! Which she did wearing shades, as did her chief aide Huma Abedin, yielding security-camera pictures that made them look (to borrow from Karl Rove) like fugitives on the lam, wanted in seven states for a failed foreign policy.
There’s something surreal about Hillary Clinton’s Marie Antoinette tour, sampling cake and commoners. But what else can she do? After Barack Obama, she’s the best-known political figure in America. She has papal name recognition. Like Napoleon and Cher, she’s universally known by her first name. As former queen consort, senator and secretary of state, she has spent a quarter-century in the national spotlight — more than any modern candidate.
She doesn’t just get media coverage; she gets meta-coverage. The staging is so obvious that actual events disappear. The story is their symbolism — campaign as semiotics.
This quality of purposeful abstractness makes everything sound and seem contrived. It’s not really her fault. True, she’s got enough genuine inauthenticity to go around — decades of positioning, framing, parsing, dodging — but the perception is compounded by the obvious staginess of the gigantic political apparatus that surrounds her and directs her movements.

Just saw an article about that.
This gem from within it.
“That’s just a few miles away, and home to a cafe where she held a top-secret meeting with Democratic Party insiders who were told to surrender their cell phones and cameras beforehand”.
Shades of Rastenburg.
“I wondered that about Hillarys burrito bowl. Does anyone actually think she ate that crap?”
Probably made one of her flying monkeys eat it in case it was reported as showing up in the trash uneaten....
LOL-
Reminded me of Jimmy Carter- always carring a suit
bag off of airforce one etc.- was finally revealed-
IT WAS EMPTY!- just a photo op to show he was
a regular guy- (come to think of it..compared to
O’bummer- he is a regular rat)
“I gave a girl a ride in my wagon . . .”
Welcome!
The signal: “two if by van, one if by broom.”
I’m stealing that one.
Thanks!
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth.
What's the official name of the Scooby van again?
Wasn't it "The Mystery Machine"?
“The signal: “two if by van, one if by broom.””
This is one of those comments that needs to go viral.
Let’s how many FReepers we can get to change their tag line. On every post, make this your last comment.
You can put me down for a big dose of that!

PS I used to think that pair were the worst thing that ever happened to American politics and then along came Obomber. Shows just how wrong you can be...
Watch this episode of the Clinton Reality Show at the airport
LOL!
I wonder if the Mystery Machine name was coined by the Secret Service?
“It’s not an abduction van, it’s a snuggle wagon!”
*Groan*
Perhaps. The official name is The Scooby Van. That gives plausible deniability to whoever did it!
