During Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential run, he was accused by Democratic rival Jerry Brown of funneling money through his wife's law firm. Hillary Rodham Clinton, responding to the charges by affirming that her business was one she took seriously, famously said, "You know, I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas, but what I decided to do was to fulfill my profession, which I entered before my husband was in public life." That quote, replayed endlessly, debated in columns across the country, was one of the first Hillary Clinton missteps seized upon by Republicans as proof that Hillary was a terrifying, corrupt, ball-crushing feminazi bitch. All this is a pretend-think-y historical intro to two funny Hillary Clinton photos, btw. One of which, above, is on her campaign site right now, in an inexplicably SPLOID-esque (or lolcat-esque) sans-serif-text-on-odd-image thumbnail. The other is on top of Drudge, and it's below.

Every so often, Drudge will randomly highlight some photo he finds on the wires as proof of media bias. Today, it's Hillary Clinton with a DEVIL hovering just behind her. Because the greatest trick the Devil ever played was convincing the world he doesn't bake.

That's the one from "The Joker's Wild", right?
What's wrong with staying home and baking tea? So long as you don't inhale, that is.
"Because the greatest trick the Devil ever played was convincing the world he doesn't bake."
Bravo Alex!
Bill tasted her cookies, but didn't swallow.
If Hillary Clinton is the Devil and Barack Obama is the Antichrist, shouldn't they at least be on the running same ticket?
Let's try that again (without channeling Tokio Hotel):
If Hillary Clinton is the Devil and Barack Obama is the Antichrist, shouldn't they at least be running on the same ticket?
Hillary: Did you have the air-conditioning checked? I told you to have the air-conditioning checked.
Hoke Colburn: I had the air-conditioning checked, Mrs. Clinton. I don't know what for. You never allow me to turn it on.
Hillary: Hush up!
Did she offer her throat to the wolf with the red roses?
@She Blinded Me With Omniscience:
No. Cthulhu needs Hilary.
At least the devil looks more interested in her than Bill ever has!
Snickerdoodle recipe? Really?
Snickerdoodles go with milk, not tea. Clearly the woman does not bake and never has baked. And I sense this too can be used against her.
Kinda gives "Devil's Advocate" a whole new shine. At least they won't have to worry about petty annoyances like grass growing on her grave when she dies.
Hillary's cookies: Iz not so great, akshully.
She also once said that she would never "stand by her man, like some little woman" and then proceeded to pretty much do just that for the last three decades.
She was quoting an old country song by Tammy Wynette, telling women they had to stand by their man, because, after all, they are, "just a man.'
@flyoverstate: omg seriously?? she was quoting tammy wynette? i thought she came up with that clever barb herself! what a phony.
"I thought we had a deal, you red fuck!"
"Sorry, Hils. Barack made me a better offer."
@allyzay:
I kid you not:
Sometimes it's hard to be a woman
Giving all your love to just one man
You'll have bad times
And he'll have good times
Doin things that you don't understand
But if you love him
You'll forgive him
Even though he's hard to understand
And if you love him
Oh, be proud of him
Cause after all he's just a man
Stand by your man
Give him two arms to cling to
And something warm to come to
when nights are cold and lonely
Stand by your man
And show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man
Stand by your man
And show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man
@flyoverstate: you are totally blowing my mind right now. do they have this song for sale on the itunes?
@allyzay: I have no idea. Trust me, you don't want to hear. Whiny and twangy, all at once. It stuck with me, because I was living in Arkansas at the time, and she had the demon eye thing going on saying she was not going to stand by her man, like some little woman. Bill was sitting right there next to her, smiling, nodding, and looking confused as hell. He had just had another bimbo eruption (seriously, that's what they called it down there) and her point was, yes, she loved him, and no, she wasn't just with him because she was a power hungry want to be god. She got a lot of negative press in Arkansas, because, you know, what's wrong with standing by your man? (Tammy Wynette was real popular down there). I was a child at the time, but that damn interview stuck with me.
Oh my God.
Awww, Hillary is getting ready to get back to the kitchen!
Incidentally - pretty funny, Pareene:
Because the greatest trick the Devil ever played was convincing the world he doesn't bake
drive hillary off the pier; k thx bai
@flyoverstate: wait, so you are saying that bill had an affair?! i kinda just thought those were jokes, like the "hill is a lesbian" thing.
@allyzay: Umm. An affair. No. Multiple women multiple times. Yes. They called them "bimbo eruptions" in Arkansas, where he was governor for 10 or 12 years. Security isn't that big of a deal in a little, reasonably peaceful state like that, so his "security" was usually two state troopers. And he used them more than once to bring the lady of choice to his room. Since Hillary didn't seem to particularly care, neither did anyone else. He didn't get caught at the capital with his pants down, and he was a good governor, so what he did in his free time was his business. And it made a dozen or so nobodies famous for 15 minutes when he became more than the governor of a small state. I promise you nobody in Arkansas was surprised about Monica. The only surprise was it took so long, and that there was only one.
Oh, and Hillary isn't a lezzie. She is totally asexual.
That TV ad is supposed to show Hillary-mania, as opposed to Obama-mania?
