Me and the Hillbilly

Filed under:   by Xrlq @ 7:08 am

It’s recently come to my attention that Hillary Clinton and I have more things in common that either of us might have thought. A non-exhaustive, likely-to-be-updated-per-comments list is below the fold.

  1. We both attended elite law schools.
  2. We both hail from the northern suburbs of Chicago.
  3. We both have blond hair.
  4. Neither of us will be mistaken for Miss America, Miss USA, or Miss anything else save for Miss-Butt-Ugly-One, assuming such a pageant does in fact exist.
  5. Both of us want to take away your guns. No, really. Granted, we want the same thing for different reasons. She wants to disarm you for disarmament’s sake, while I just want to expand my own gun collection. Details.
  6. People around either of us are frequently treated to exactly the same annoying, insufferable laugh. Again, reasons differ; people around her hear the laugh if she thinks something is funny or embarrassing, while people around me only hear her laugh when someone calls my cell phone. Details.
  7. Both of us have traveled to former Yugoslavia without getting gunned down by snipers.
  8. Both of us have traveled to Northern Ireland, but neither of us played a significant role in brokering peace in Northern Ireland.
  9. Neither of us attends a black racist church.
  10. Neither of us is going to be President of the United States of America.

I am Xrlq, and I approve this message.

    Xrlq Confessional time: I don’t think she’s particularly bad-looking. I think her age suits her very well, I think she has excellent cheeks and a terrific smile, and whoever’s styling her knows exactly what the hell they are doing–her hair, makeup, and clothes are all flawless. I don’t think she’s an intrinsically pretty woman and it showed when she was younger, but nowadays I think she looks quite distinguished and handsome.

    Did you ever work/intern in Oakland or the Bay Area? Could be another tie that binds you to the H-beast.

    Both of you have shot shotguns but failed to kill any ducks

  6. Ride Fast Says:

    Both of you scare me as dictators.

    Both of you make me laugh (your funny, she’s a joke).

    surely there’s a similarity that involves drinking beers and downing shots.
