Valerie Jarrett Kisses Reporters Before Interview
ADVISORY: This article contains major EEEEWWWWWW - Yuck! factor!


President Barack Obama's top
puppetmaster
adviser, Valerie Jarrett, went around the table and kissed reporters before an interview this morning on MNSBC's Morning Joe. The moment was briefly captured on live television before the network cut away to a commercial break.

Jarrett's first step is toward the BBC's Katty Kay. "Hi, there," Jarrett's heard whispering as she leans in for a hug and kiss. Kay is "Anchor for BBC World News America in Washington."

Then the senior White House adviser just as warmly greets Cokie Roberts, a National Public Radio contirbutor.

As the segment heads toward a commercial break, host Joe Scarborough can be heard saying, "Valerie, come give me a hug."

In that case the media should be the last place you go to get rid of the taste. They don't even bother to wipe their mouths anymore.

Hillary Clinton goes unnoticed in Ohio Chipotle
[USATODAY] Hillary Clinton
... sometimes described as For a good time at 3 a.m. call Hillary and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Walter Q. Gresham ...
may be trying to present a more humble image on her road trip to Iowa in a van she has dubbed "Scooby," but her efforts to become more of an "everyday American" have already made her downright unrecognizable to some.

When Clinton popped into a Chipotle in Maumee, Ohio, and moseyed on over to the counter to order a chicken burrito bowl, she left without anyone in the place giving her a second glance.

Hillary Clinton takes the road to Iowa in a van named Scooby

In fact, the manager of the store wasn't even aware that Clinton had been there until he was contacted by a New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
news hound and he checked the security footage.

"The thing is, she has these dark sunglasses on," the manager, Charles Wright told The Times. "She just was another lady."

#1  In order to show she's an ordinary American, she goes to a place frequented by ordinary Americans, and gets treated exactly like one of them.

Naturally she and her people are *pissed*. How dare the commoners fail to recognize and thank their rulers?

#5  HRC and her campaign volkes forgot the reality one must accept when walking into a Chipotle: "I don’t know where you are in the world, or what you do. It doesn’t matter to me. Everyone who passes through that door is the same. The fate of your burrito rests in my hands. Only it’s not fate. Fate is predetermined. I am more powerful than fate. I wield the meat spoon."

I don't see anyone else in that restaurant.

But I love the contrast with Barry, with him sticking his booger hook into the condiments.

Hillary video's 'everyday Americans' turn out to be a democrat state campaign manager
[DAILYMAIL.CO.UK] Three more of Hillary Clinton
... sometimes described as the Smartest Woman in the World and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another William H. Seward ...
's 'everyday Americans' have been revealed to have strong links to the Democrat party - including one who could be set to support a rival bid for the White House.

Julie Stauch and married couple Sean Bagniewski and Vidhya Reddy all appear in on the video announcing Clinton's 2016 bid.

They are part of a diverse group of people - from young mothers and people preparing for retirement, to Spanish-speaking brothers preparing to start a business and an Asian-American college graduate looking for her first job - chosen to show aspirational citizens as Clinton looks to speak to to wide demographic of voters.

'Everyday Americans need a champion, and I want to be that champion,' Clinton says on the video. 'So I'm hitting the road to earn your vote.'

But far from being 'everyday Americans', as the two minute video claims, Stauch and Bagniewski are directly involved with the Democrat party - just like campaigners Jared Milrad and Nate Johnson, from reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
... home of Al Capone, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel,...
, Illinois, who discuss their upcoming wedding plans on screen.

"Uhhhh... Sean. We just met earlier during the briefing. Remember?"

Fawning, laptog media sprints to catch the Beest's 'Scooby Doo'
[The Right Scoop] The 2016 "running of the news hucksters" has begun! When Hillary's "Scooby Doo" van finally arrived at it's first stop since she declared her candidacy for ruining America, the media mongers had to make a mad dash to catch her first, and luckily for us, an MSNBC video crew caught the hilarious insanity.

So pathetic... and what makes it even more enjoyable is that there were few actual normal Americans who made it out to her scripted event. But you can count on the leftist media to run around like chickens with their heads cut off when Hillary dares to make a peep!

#3  I woke up this morning to the Today Show reporting on Ms Clinton in Iowa. The reporter immediately mentioned continuing problems about the emails, and some person named Chuck Todd described her as "uttering platitudes" instead of saying anything meaningful, then went into a candidate report card of the rest of the competition.

#5  If they were capable of feeling shame, these tools should be sooo embarrassed. Pathetic, really

#6  It’s hard not to envision a future SNL skit lampooning the whole cheesy Scooby Doo narrative. Hillary as the bespeckled Velma, Chelsea as Daphne and Bubba as Freddie adorned with his trademark ascot. Of course, any old, white, male republican will suffice as the villain.

#7  Not too pathetic as GOP wannabees who go into their vipers nests all too often. If the GOP spent half their time attacking the bias bigoted assassins with bylines, they'd make twice as much in return. Check the polls, the only thing down in the basement with Congress is the MSM. In military strategy, it's attacking the enemy's supply line and reserves.
