Hillary Clinton cannot escape her own bio

Hillary spoke at PUSH convention. Mike Fourcher posted on Twitter a program for the convention containing a bio for Hillary Clinton. This is why I love millennials,  I'm assuming here this is a millennial because it has the millennial hallmark. Somebody told this campaign person (assumed millennial) to provide a bio on Hillary for the program, so they did, they copy and pasted from Wikipedia and without reading the whole thing and without knowing where to stop copy/pasting they included the uncomfortable bits best left unsaid on such a program. So her bio for the event that everybody has in their hands when she's speaking turns out uncomfortably honest. If they bother to read it.

Besides all that it is an impressive bio, I have to admit this.

The program will not show very well here. Follow the link above if you care to see it. The page is her picture above with wikipedia description below. The part that's hilarious for bio like this reads:
As First Lady of the United States, Clinton led the failed effort to enact the Clinton health plan of 1993. In 1997 and 1999, she helped create programs for children's health insurance, adoption, and foster care. The only first lady to have been subpoenaed, she faced a federal grand jury in 1996 regarding the Whitewater controversy; no charges were brought against her related to this or any other controversies in her life. Her marriage endured the Lewinsky scandal of 1998, and overall her role as first lady drew a polarized response from the public.
You were supposed to stop c/p before this paragraph! Except nobody proofread. They just trusted a young person. This is something a young person does. It's why we love them so.

It's all very funny but some people are not amused. From Mike Fourcher's thread:

For some people, the truth is not "flattering" .

Kind of a verbal picture of Dorian Gray.

The constant lying of the Clinton co-presidency was demoralizing. Okay, I found it demoralizing. How did the baby boomers react?...well, they reacted by reelecting Bubba. So I guess a relatively decent economy outranked the barrage of lies for them. Now we have the baby boomers' kids (can't think what they're called) and their grandkids (the millennials) as big factors in the coming election and they have no memory, no direct memory, of what it was like to live under the constant schemers. Which means that Rodham may very well escape the effects of her own bio. Forward!

Keep in mind, the media kept saying we had peace and prosperity when we had neither. It also would have been nice if Lt Dole had actually mounted a campaign, but he was struggling with electile dysfunction.

Now we have the baby boomers' kids (can't think what they're called)

Xers. You forgot Generation X already?

Doubt it. Trump has already cast Willie as the creepy dirty old man he is. What happened 20 years ago is history, but the millennials and the Xers are inundated with Cacklepants' current sins.

Amazing, though, they didn't even see it. It's just blocks of bio to them. c/p done.

Their inborn adeptness to technology, their manner of grabbing information without processing it mentally is a special kind of retardation but not permanent and it shows. So smart in everything superficial and so flatly dumb in essentials. It's beautiful. Like a flower in bloom unaware of its state, just ridiculously beautiful. I mean it. I mean no condemnation at all.

The commenter who doesn't see anything wrong. I love that too. I do. I love that it must be explained.
