QuoteTexts From Hillary, a hot new Tumblr featuring a sunglasses-clad, all business Hillary Clinton checking her cellphone on a military plane, got a guest submission from an unexpected source on Monday: Secretary of State Clinton herself.
"sup adam. nice selfie Stace :-)" reads Madam Secretary's post. "ROFL @ ur Tumblr! g2g — scrunchie time. ttyl?"
Stacy Lambe, one of the site's co-creators, confirmed that the post was indeed from the Secretary herself.
"Her staff reached out to us with the submission yesterday," says Lambe. "And we just met with her this afternoon. She was very delightful and thought kindly of us. I can tell you, her staff just thought the whole thing was great."
Need more proof that's actually from Clinton? Here you go. And there's this, too — the post signed by the Secretary, thanking the team for the "LOLZ."
What was Clinton's favorite TextFromHillary so far?
"She mentioned being a fan of the Ryan Gosling post," says Lambe. (And who can blame her? He saves strangers from oncoming traffic, after all.)
Texts From Hillary is built around photos of Clinton checking messages on her cellphone aboard a military C-17 aircraft. The blog features Clinton responding to texts from politicians and celebrities in various awesome and hilarious ways.
The site was the brainchild of Adam Smith and Stacy Lambe. It has been spreading across the web like wildfire. No wonder Clinton's team would want to get involved — doing so creates a boatload of positive press as rumors of a possible Hillary 2016 presidential bid continue to float around the political sphere.
The original photos were taken by Reuters' Kevin Lamarque and Time's Diana Walker.

I still don't understand any of this.
She's hip.
And she'll be exactly what we need in 2016.

Neither of those are hard to understand although you do have to recognize the other characters.
Lol, wiener...
But still, sunglasses & a Blackberry merits all this attention? Is it all just pent-up Hillary lust from 2008?

It's just that hillary looks gangster cool in the image, making it perfect for the internet for making images with text on them.
BTW, WTF is scrunchie time?
Who's the dude with the "big boy collar"?

Zuckerberg timed with his purchase of Instagram for $1 billion. Actually just saw if you click on the source link below goes to a blog saying that.

This. Natural play on her image as a bitch.
Hence the one with Anna Wintour where they spell between them: HBIC.

At nearly 70? It'd be like a female McCain running for President.

Yea I don't get it either.
I actually have a higher opinion of her today than I did in 2008, but not because of some random meaningless picture.
grabon is to Hillary as grallon is to Lady Gaga.

Okay, I think I get it. As much as I can, anyway. The gays love bitchy women.
You dont get it man. It's a PR coup.

Yeah apparently having a Times journalist and photographer travel with you for several days is completely uncalculated.
It's a meme on the internet. Get over it.

You seem to be the one all hung up about a comment I made once while drunk and feeling enthusiastic. :mellow:
Isn't this the second thread you started about it?
It's not news worthy.

Nope. You'll only find one thread about this and I only made this one as I found it interesting that she gave it her support.

It's a meme for Christ's sake. There's nothing more to it than the ridiculously photogenic guy.
People watch videos of honey badgers. There's not really a meaning to get to.

Hillary might have writte a formal memo to one of her interns to get the inter to write that for her.

It shows she's human, and has a sense of humor; something your boy Mittens has neither of.
LOLZ I WAS JUST TEXTING ALL MY NFL AND NASCAR TEAM OWNERZ ABOUT A FUNNY STORY ABOUT MY DAD CLOSING A FACTORY I ROFL'D
"My boy"? :huh:
Do you make the same excuses for Sarah Palin's idiotic tweets?

I'd vote for Hillary over either Palin or Romney at this point. That text was still retarded. It's certainly not something a Presidential aspirant should be sending the press.

Oh god, you aren't one of those "bloggers are the press" folks are you? Does equipping oneself with a tumblr account make oneself a journalist?
Well, I'm reading the contents of the text message, aren't I? I wouldn't be surprised if the 24 hour news stations ran something about this. They certainly did with some of Palin's tweets.

It wasn't an actual text message. Hillary gave them that "creation" with her signature as a physical document.
