Totally. Even the only person who has ever met her from Gawker media has said that. Although I do think her personality shows through a lot more than it used to. But people are far too begrudging to acknowledge.

By all accounts, in private or in small settings she can be the total opposite of how she’s portrayed- funny and personable. It’s just that years and years of dealing with sexist takedowns, a media that intensely dislikes her, and 30 years worth of Republican shittiness to her has made her afraid to actual show any of…
Being caught admitting Hillary Clinton can be funny and cool under pressure is just so unhip, apparently.
It’s right there. They prioritize “funny and cool” over all else. She isn’t funny and cool, so she shouldn’t be president. Bernie Sanders is funny and cool because penis.
Leave it Jezebel to rebrand it as a failed attempt by Clinton to be cool. What is up with the writers on this site?
Yep. It’s infuriating. Bernie can do whatever the fuck he wants, as far as I can tell, up to and including deliberately excluding women from positions of power in his campaign and completely ignoring Roe v. Wade when asked if he would have a litmus test for Supreme Court appointees, while Hillary Clinton gets to…
Ironically, I read about it right here on Jezebel. Strangely, nary a word of this has been spoken since the original article went up and cycled its way off the main page. Can’t imagine why.
There are about a billion valid criticisms of Hillary Clinton but she is very funny. It’s pretty universally acknowledged by people who’ve met her (including those who dislike her like David Axelrod) that she has a great sense of humor. But she’s funny in public too (like her reactions to the Senate hearings or her…
Spot on. I‘ve been using this argument since I saw a breakdown of everyone’s top staff. For fuck’s sake, even Trump has 3 women in the top ten.
Didn’t you know? Bernie is, like, all cool and shit. So cool he couldn’t even bother to find one woman to hire to one of the top ten most highly-paid positions in his campaign. Worse than Marco Rubio, even. But we’re a feminist site, so of course we’ll just keep shitting all over Clinton for... well, reasons.
Agreed!
“Oh no, I’m not implying... I’m telling you, we have a problem with sexism in our department.”
Weird. I actually thought this bit was awesome. What makes it cringeworthy is how true it is.
“The” calculus teacher (because only he gets 5's on the AP exam) in my department just said that to me at our last department meeting.
“You know what would be nice? If you smiled...”
I love the Lonely Island SO MUCH. The absurdity of Threw it on the Ground makes me laugh out loud every time, and I sing it on the reg to my food and toy throwing infant.
I didn’t even know this was a thing.
Thank you. I didn’t want to be the first one to say it but what was the spiritual awakening exactly? That she likes mauve nail polish? Is the nail polish a metaphor that she can appreciate the new things the friend introduced her to but just like the friendship is temporary? And... she journals? I feel like this is…
I’m enjoying how when Gawker’s own flaming demise is the breaking news, it takes its sweet ass time and then a thoughtful analysis as to what to post next.
This is what I came her to say, too. Y’all gotta get your lawyers to release you to at least acknowledge it.
