Hillary Hilarity
For all the distaste I feel for Hillary Clinton, she is an ideal foil for humor. American humor delights in skewering pretentiousness, and with her phony self-righteousness and pretend concern for the victims of society while enriching herself, she offers abundant opportunities for humor. As I pointed out some time ago, she is the Margaret Dumont of American politics, an ideal target for derision.
Two absolutely hilarious send-ups of her today offer me hope. The first comes from Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit, who responded to a tweet in which Hillary led with her glass jaw:
If the FBI is watching you for suspected terrorist links, you shouldn’t be able to just go buy a gun with no questions asked.

The second comes from “Shep” on a Disqus comment at Scott Adams’s blog. It is particularly poignant today, in the wake of Hillary calling out the Saudis for funding radical Islam, and posing as a friend of gays:
I encourage readers to add their own examples of Hillary Hilarity in the comments.
