Unlike Bernie, Hillary went to Flint instead of SNL

[dorkzilla]

Pathetic.

Recent Flint visitor Hillary Clinton really wants you to know that Hillary Clinton (who was recently in Flint) cares a lot about the fact that she was, quite recently, in Flint (Michigan). More specifically, she wants you to know that she was not off mugging it up for SNL like some other candidates we know.

1. She had her turn to mug it up on SNL.

[dorkzilla]

2. Yeah, they do mention that

I can’t fucking believe how tone deaf she and her entire campaign are.

3. The crisis in Flint wasn't underway at that point.

Oh wait, yes it was.

[dchill]

4. She still can't believe that it's not all about her.

I'm totally serious.

[dorkzilla]

8. It’s really sad in a cringingly pathetic kind of way

She is the political equivalent of Leona Helmsley.

THE PALACE DOES NOT SERVE WET LETTUCE!!!! OR SELF-DESCRIBED SOCIALISTS!!!!!!!!!

5. Bernie set up a campaign office in Flint before Hillary came for her photo op

6. Some of the commenters didn't care for that article.

I’m just going to leave this here for posterity - Is there actually anything good that anyone at Gawker has to say about Hillary??? - I mean this is a serious question. I don’t think that I have read one thing from any of the writers on this site (...and don’t get me started on the comments section) in the past two weeks that has not been unabashedly and undeniably Pro-Bernie Sanders...As Journalists, aren’t you supposed to be objective? - Did you guys all get tee shirts or coffee mugs or something? I think I am going to have to quit visiting Gawker until after November...And I say November because if, for some reason, Sanders does get the Democratic Nomination prior to the general election this site’s servers might explode with Socialistic orgasmic glee...And there won’t be anything at all to read.

Bring on the vilification - I’m all set for the #BernieBro comments.

#WeWantFreeStuff.

And they might have some actual point there, but then they go ahead and tack on the #BernieBro and #WeWantFreeStuff tags to let you know they're a RWer who can't stand poor people getting anything for 'free' and just trying to be divisive.

7. Typical in the Bernie vs Hillary internet feud

Gawker used to be better when you had to basically audition to be a commentator. Hell, now they even let ME post there.

9. The problem in Flint

has been known for months, but HRH couldn't muster up enough concern to make an appearance until her inevitability seemed to be in jeopardy.

She used the crisis and the people of Flint as a 'compassion prop' for her campaign to bolster her polling numbers, and people are calling foul.

Take the high road, Hill. Have some integrity and don't use victims for personal gain.

10. Tis backfiring on her

Seems that none of her pandering and photo ops go unnoticed by a justifiably cynical public. And that makes me really fucking happy.

11. If she can't manage a campaign

how the hell could she run the government? She is a flawed, inept candidate.
