Hillary Clinton
All the Hillary buzz collected in one place. The ups and downs of the presidential hopeful make for good internet memes.
The Best Buzz
-
Joss Stone For Obama
Politics Buzz The Democratic nominee personally asked the British pop singer to write a song to be used on the campaign trail later this year. May we suggest Joss avoid asking Ludacris to do a cameo? He may have good intentions, but even Barack knows the guy can go a little overboard.
-
Michelle Obama On “The View”
Politics Buzz Obama's main squeeze appeared on The View and successfully dodged prodding from Barbara Walters. If the clip is a preview of what's to come, Michelle might be the first First Lady to talk about topics other than reading (not that there's anything wrong with preaching literacy, but we're totally cool with hearing her take on elements of sexism and racism plaguing the election).
-
Party Unity, My Ass
Politics Buzz Or PUMA, for short. The name of the group of Hillary supporters who refuse to support Obama, and will be protesting the 2008 election. They even have their own fund-raising committee, but honestly, wouldn't the money be more effective if it just went directly to John McCain?
-
Harriet Christian
Politics Buzz The angry Clinton supporter was thrown out of the Democratic National Committee's rules meeting and became a YouTube star. In railing against the DNC's decision on Michigan and Florida, she called Obama an "inadequate black male" and prophesied that John McCain would be our next president.
-
Dancing Hillary
Politics Buzz Hillary Clinton drinks a Presidente, dances to Enrique Iglesias. Sort of cringeworthy but also endearing, in that clueless mom way. To be fair, here's an equally embarrassing clip of Obama dancing to "Shout."

Image: Hillary Assassinates Herself
The Huffington Post captures the exact moment Hillary Clinton officially imploded.
-
Chelsea 2016
Politics Buzz With her mother's campaign apparently winding down, is Chelsea Clinton thinking about politics? In an exclusive with People, her dad says the campaign has taught him that his daughter "is really good at" working the electorate. Will the future Madame President Clinton have the first name of Chelsea?
-
Election Web Trends
Tech Buzz Obama dominates the conversation among search, widgets and twittering. Will this translate into electoral power? Hard to say. But the colorful graphs are quite pretty.
-
Candidate Handwriting
Politics Buzz Spiraling ever-inward, we now come to focus on the handwriting of the remaining presidential candidates and what it says about them. Parsing the campaign fonts wasn't enough, so now graphologists are weighing in -- with skills usually reserved for the likes of Paris Hilton or Britney Spears -- on the looped Ls and squiggly Ts of our next President. Next up, phrenologists will read the bumps and fissures in their skulls.

“Hillary Clinton is smart and forceful, John McCain is proud but has a volatile temper, and Barack Obama is a diplomat who deals well with different people and situations.”

Ha Ha Commenter: “John McCain’s handwriting changes depending on which personality is in control of his body.”

What’s In a Signature

-
Buying Superdelegates
Politics Buzz One of Hillary's biggest financial backers reportedly offered $1 million for a superdelegate vote. During a phone conversation with Young Democrats of America, Haim Saban -- a billionaire Clinton supporter -- said $1 million would be given to the group if YDA President David Hardt and another superdelegate would pledge for Hillary. The group turned the offer down, and Saban denies he ever made it in the first place.
-
Campaign Fonts
Politics Buzz Who would you vote for, if you only had fonts to go on? Looking closely at the official campaign fonts of the three remaining candidates reveals a lot about their message (and it's of interest to more than just design geeks, I swear).
-
Hitler Subtitle Mashups
Movie Buzz The Hillary Downfall video is but the latest in a long series of Hitler videos that rely on subtitles for the jokes. Der Untergang, a German movie about the last days of Hitler, came out in 2004. In August 2006, YouTube user DReaperF4 posted a Spanish-language satire using the movie's pivotal scene, wherein Hitler finally realizes the war is lost, with subtitles about the release of a new flight simulator game. An English version followed, and then imitators with jokes about Hitler's car being stolen, Hitler being banned from XBox Live, Hitler being angry about the Patriot's Super Bowl loss -- and now, Hitler as Hillary, angry about the superdelegates.

Lists Of Reasons Hillary Should Quit
Politics Buzz Now that it's almost impossible for Hillary Clinton to win the Democratic nomination by any reasonable measure, political writers are saying she may as well quit. More than a few of them have begun collecting the reasons in the popular "list" format.
-
Hillary Clinton On O’Reilly
Politics Buzz Hillary Clinton makes her debut on the O'Reilly Factor. The online consensus is that Clinton did really well in the interview, holding her own and talking about substantive issues with Bill O'Reilly. The second half of the interview airs tonight, the first half is already available.
-
Rush Limbaugh’s Operation Chaos
Politics Buzz Rush Limbaugh urges his conservative fans to vote for Hillary so that neither Democrat can win the primaries. In Limbaugh's own words: "The endgame is to see that neither of these candidates can win by virtue of the primaries" assuring that Hillary and Barack "will be so bloodied and brought down to earth that neither can win in the general." A few outside observers think that Operation Chaos is actually working while others are skeptical. Of course, Rush is happy to take full credit for the current Obama Clinton fatigue.
-
Obama Clinton Fatigue
Politics Buzz An exciting primary race becomes boring and most people just want a winner. Obama vs Clinton is like an exciting baseball game that goes into extra innings and you are on the edge of your seat but then by the 16th inning you are tired and cold and just want to go home and you stop caring who wins. That is how lots of Democrats are feeling these days.
-
I Dream Of…
Politics Buzz A series of blogs started by Canadian writer Sheila Heti where people can post their dreams (real, sleeping dreams) about a Presidential candidate of their choice. We feel a lot better knowing we're not the only ones having naughty dreams about Obama every night.
-
3 A.M. Onslaught
Politics Buzz Hillary Clinton's new 3 a.m. campaign ad kicks off an avalanche of copycats and satire. John McCain has already responded with his own version of the ad, using the same stock footage.
-
Hillary Clinton’s Bosnia Trip
Politics Buzz CBS unearths a video that contradicts Hillary's account of a 1996 Bosnia trip, where she claims she landed under sniper fire. If this trend seems a bit sloppy, it's because we posted it while under heavy sniper fire.
-
Stained Blue Dress Day
Politics Buzz ABC News pores over 17,481 pages of newly divulged records from Hillary's days as first lady and zeros in on what she was doing on the day Bill Clinton stained Monica Lewinsky's infamous blue dress. ABC News is getting flack for being a news organization engaging in what some are calling a shameful display of journalism. Too bad Drudge didn't get to break it first!
