On Tuesday evening, it cost me $200 to obtain the privilege of sitting in one of the top rows in the upper balcony section of a massive auditorium and watching a tiny blue dot surrounded by phlegmy yellow light.
The amazing thing about this dot is that it could talk. This was confirmed by sound emerging from speakers hidden somewhere behind me and a glance at the not-even-movie-theater-sized screen behind it. The dot congratulated members of something it called "the Hillary Clinton Fan Club," which might be because the dot in question was, in fact, the aforementioned former secretary of state herself.
Clinton was here in the appropriately named Hill Auditorium allegedly to promote her new memoir, What Happened. It was the first book tour event that I have ever heard of charging admission, much less offering tickets — mine were among the cheapest — at prices that could easily get you into the Michigan-Ohio State game. There are 3,500 seats in the auditorium, and all of them looked full.

People are actually paying for this.
I hope they got a decoder ring or at least a pussy hat for their money. Do they receive training in how to do that fake laugh?
“People are actually paying for this.”
Even more amazing she is drawing bigger paid audiences to watch her whine than she was able to draw when running for POTUS.
She danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs throughout the south
She spoke with tears of 15 years of how her dog and she but just travelled all about
Her dog up and died, he up and died, and after 20 years she still grieves
Mrs. Bojangles, Mrs. Bojangles, dance.
Good writing. I was there in that auditorium with the others.
I was there at the most expensive Wake or Shiva in American political history. It was both HILL-arious and pathetic.

Well, aren’t you the dopey one?
Looks like sitting in a large speaker cone.
Phlemy yellow light LOL
All you really have to do is tune in to CNN; MSNBC, ABC, NBC,and CBS and you can hear all her whining for free.
It’s like a bad wreck, you can’t look away
Haha. Awesome!
I hear you. Though in the 19th century people used to pay good money to watch staged trainwrecks, so maybe there's some of that going on here.
In his case of course, I imagine he got paid for this article. So maybe that $200 was just the cost of doing business.
Chord with this now, Boo. And a one and a two ...
Isn’t she a lot more entertaining and likeable as a maudlin clown?
Easter Seal poster girl sticks in the morning, Wonder Woman in the evening.
Ooo la la! Excellent graphic!
I could enjoy it if Hunter S. Thompson were around to cover it.
P.T.Barnum never charged that much to see his freaks.
