If it’s news, it’s news to me

Posted in: 1

Lord. Where does Hugh Hewitt find these guys? Patrick Ruffini:

Lost in all the commentary about the crying game was another pivotal moment — perhaps the pivotal moment — in Hillary Clinton’s turnaround: two unidentified men yelling "Iron my shirt!" at the candidate the night before the election.

[...]

So when those guys hoisted the "Iron my shirt" signs, Clinton had an answer already teed up: "Ah, the remnants of sexism, alive and well." I don’t deny that sexist sentiment against HRC exists. I’ve seen it in more places than I’d like to online. But does anyone else find it convenient that this only surfaced the day before the New Hampshire primary, with the campaign in well-documented desperate straights, in the middle of a bid to humanize (and feminize) the candidate? In a way that perfectly contextualized the vulnerability ("some of us… put ourselves out there…") HRC displayed earlier that day?

Has anyone found these guys? Interviewed them? Let me just say that I would not be terribly surprised if they were members of a union that endorsed HRC, or if there was a photo of them with Hillary paraphenalia at a past event.

Just sayin’…

Five seconds. It took me five seconds to find out the question that keeps Ruffini up at night as well as preventing him from using the google.

I think this perfectly contextualizes the fact that Ruffini is kind of, you know, an idiot.

Just sayin’.. .
