This is unintentionally hilarious.
Now, after two decades in the public eye, Mrs. Clinton must try to show voters a self-effacing, warm and funny side that her friends say reflects who she really is.
At least, I assume that Amy Chozick of the NYT didn’t break down in uncontrollable laughter after reading what she had just written. I am doing her the professional courtesy of not assuming that she’s not really this deluded, you see. The reality of it is, you cannot simultaneously hide from the public – which is what Hillary Clinton is doing right now – and portray yourself as being warm and inviting. The two states are, as they say, contradictory.
Note that you don’t have to be warm and inviting to get elected. After all, Barack Obama was and is neither. Of course, Barack Obama carefully portrayed himself as a Greek god come down to Earth to grace us mere mortals with his divine wisdom and discernment, and that admittedly worked out all right for him (if not for the United States of America as a whole). Hillary Clinton does not have that luxury, particularly since her husband has a bad habit of acting like the Greek gods before they got sanitized by deliciously scandalized Victorians. All in all: I’m happy that nobody I know and personally like has to handle that PR campaign…
I’m also glad you’re responsible for putting a human face on Kodos. (or is she Kang? I forget..)

You’d have the sense to start by introducing her to the real world, how self-serve gas stations work, what a Taco Bell is, etc. etc.

the thing is, she doesn’t have to. her coronation will go as she wants it, then with nomination in hand she can play the gender card for all it’s worth. with a side of pity me, that mean Republican is being all sexist at me. at least till she flips and goes all DeNiro-as-Capone at the first debate.
Ha-Ha! Very funny you make Mr. Moe Lane!
I am the Hillary Clinton and I shall do the shot-and-beer once more; you call that the boiler-maker? Yes! That is it! I shall once again do the boiler-maker and we shall see if I have a hu-bzzz-hu-bzzzz-human-bzzz-human side-bzzzzzz

Hillary Clinton – A Cobra Wrapped in Steel Wool!
“Abrasive Yet Venomous!”
I wouldn’t insult steel wool or snakes with that comparison… and she’s so abrasive I’d want her kept as far as possible from any of the seven surviving battleships or five preserved “big deck” carriers, lest the entire hulls need repainting.
