Hillary Pretends She Might Not Run for President on The Daily Show
Hillary Clinton, who is definitely not definitely running for president in 2016, stopped by The Daily Show last night to talk about what she might have planned for the next few years.
After a solid minute of discussing Hard Choices, her new book, Clinton and Jon Stewart got into the good stuff, sounding like a pair of parents trying to flirt with each other without saying any dirty words in front of their kids.
"I think I speak for everyone when I say no one cares [about the book], they just want to know if you're running for president," Stewart says, to which Clinton replies, after a hearty laugh, "Jon, I was going to make an announcement, but I saw — I mean, you kind of spoiled it for me." Stewart: "So that's a 'yes.'"
Then, Stewart gives Hillary a career aptitude test — you know, to see what sort of job might be right for her. "Do you like commuting to work, or a home office?" Hillary takes the bait — she'd like a home office, she thinks — and Stewart follows up, "Do you have a favorite shape for that home office?"
Hillary's response, to big applause: "I think that the world is so complicated, the fewer corners that you can have, the better." And so on.
They talk about a bunch of other boring stuff, too — jobs, income inequality, immigration reform, yadda yadda — but who cares about that stuff? This woman is (definitely, beyond a shadow of a doubt) running for president!
