I love this picture of Hillary Clinton.
The first is because she looks fantastic. She looks like an attractive, smart middle-aged woman, and that open palm is re-assuring. No men are going to beat up on Hillary, that’s for sure! She’s honest, but good for a smack!
But the other reason I love the picture is because with the lighting, that black background, she looks like she’s playing Rose Hovick and a Vegas production of Gypsy, and she’s doing her big number, “Rose’s Turn”, belting it out ala Ethel Merman or Rosalind Russell! “What I’ve got in me, ha! I coulda been better than any of ya’s! What I’ve been holding down inside of me, if I ever let it go, there wouldn’t be signs big enough…
Hold yer hats and hallelujah, Mommas gonna show it to ya!”

Well, someone tell me, when is it my turn?
Don’t I get a dream for myself?
Starting now it’s gonna be my turn.
Gangway, world, get off of my runway!
Starting now I bat a thousand!
This time, boys, I’m taking the bows andeverything’s coming up Rose!
Everything’s coming up roses!
Everything’s coming up roses
this time for me!
For me! For me! For me! For me! For me!
For me! Yeah!
You know, if Hillary would come out with a video of herself singing that…I might even vote for her!
