Yes, until now, Hillary wanted to be a boy drummer in a teenage rock band.

They've spent 7 years trashing Obama, now they love Clinton.

talking about her "identities"? Finally being comfortable in her GENDER?

DU pisses me off so much, it makes me defend Hillary way too often.

You goddamn right I think it's a puff piece.

And my wife and daughter, both of whom are actual grandmothers, agree with me.
