Clinton appeared in the Sept. 27 premiere of the Candice Bergen-led sitcom — but not as herself. Instead, she was “Hilary,” a woman who said she is often mistaken for the former presidential candidate but actually spells her name with only one “L.” She arrived at Murphy’s new cable news show, “Murphy in the Morning,” to interview for the “secretarial position.”
“Your reputation proceeds you, but I want you to know I’m not afraid of hard work, I’m qualified, and I’m ready on day one,” Clinton said to Murphy at the start of her interview.
Murphy went on to ask if she had any secretarial experience (“For four years I was the secretary … of a very large organization,” she replied) and if she had experience with technology and teamwork.
“I do have some experience with emails,” she said. And on the topic of how many people it takes to run a production, she relied on another one of her campaign mottos: “Everyone works together, it takes a village.”
I would have enjoyed this more on a day that America did not go full Handmaid’s Tale. Seeing a man display the very angry, abusive, misogynistic behavior he denied ever engaging in, and then be rewarded for it was just too gutting. Seeing Lindsey Graham crap all over one of the bravest people ever to come before a Senate committee and also disrespect all of his Democratic colleagues without any of them calling him out for it was demoralizing. Right now, we’re putting a lot of faith in the idea that voting in the midterms will save us. Honestly, I’m beginning to lose that faith.
It was exactly what I would have appreciated after that terrible day. I did catch a video clip, and she was funny. You have to escape the dreadfulness somehow.
Yesterday, my Senator, Amy Klobucher, salvaged some of my faith by calling out the insults and lies from the day before. Kavanaugh’s behavior toward her on Thursday was especially horrifying to us Minnesotans. Jim Klobuchar, Amy’s dad, about whom she opened up to Kavanaugh in a vain attempt to make human contact, is a legend in this state, first as a sportswriter for the old Minneapolis Star and then as a “city side” columnist for the Star Tribune. And that was all before he and Amy’s mom gave us their incredible daughter. People now see her as a possible president someday. We’re very proud of her. And she no longer lives in Al Franken’s oversized shadow as women often do.

Hillary Clinton’s Cover Letter to Congress on the ARB Report
Hillary because…
She would NEVER have allowed social safety nets to be "on the table."

@U.S. Senate: Time to ratify LOST!
"... ratify the Law of the Sea Convention, which has provided the international framework for exploring these new opportunities in the Arctic. We abide by the international law that undergirds the convention, but we think the United States should be a member, because the convention sets down the rules of the road that protect freedom of navigation, provide maritime security, serve the interests of every nation that relies on sea lanes for commerce and trade, and also sets the framework for exploration for the natural resources that may be present in the Arctic." -HRC, 06-03-12, Tromso Norway
"I deeply resent those who attack our country, the generosity of our people and the leadership of our president in trying to respond to historically disastrous conditions after the earthquake." - HRC 01-26-10
Good Advice!
“You can’t keep snakes in your backyard and expect them only to bite your neighbors. Eventually those snakes are going to turn on whoever has them in the backyard.” HRC
Hillary! Leadership we need!
Politics & Foreign Policy
"What I have always found is that when it comes to foreign policy, it is important to remember that politics stops at the water's edge." -HRC 11-04-10
What a difference one woman can make!
"...whether it’s here, in the absolute best embassy in the world, or whether it’s in Washington, or whether it’s elsewhere, what a difference one woman can make. And that woman is right here, the woman who needs no introduction, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton." 07.05.10 - Unidentified speaker, Embassy Yerevan
Most Respected
"So, ladies and gentlemen, I give you your Secretary of State, and perhaps the most respected person on the world stage today, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton." - Jon Huntsman 05-23-2010

The return of Murphy Brown with a Hillary (or is it Hilary?) guest spot was exactly what I needed after watching the Kavanaugh hearings.

I know. What a disgusting day on Capitol Hill. Shameful. Elections do have consequences. When will we learn?
