Female Writers for Jimmy Fallon Take Turns Feting Hillary with Love Letters
In what may be a new low for the left-wing politicization of late night TV, last night female writers for The Tonight Show took turns feting Hillary Clinton with adoring love letters.
"I know that our female writers, in particular, are big fans of yours, and they wanted to thank you in person," Fallon said. "So if you don’t mind, is it cool if they write out some thank you notes?"
"I love your thank you notes!" she unsurprisingly replied.
"Thank you, Hillary Clinton, for being the first female presidential candidate nominated by a major party and also the first female senator of New York and also the first first lady to transcend first ladyhood to become secretary of state," the first writer, Taryn, said. "I guess what I’m trying to say is, thank you, Hillary Clinton, for being the Hillary Clinton of American politics."
The mawkish segment continued.
"Thank you, Hillary Clinton, for handling this difficult transition with more grace than I ever could have imagined," writer Jasmine said. "That being said, call me day or night and I will be there with a gallon of ice cream and two spoons to tell you, 'Girl, you are so much better than him.'"
In all Hillary endured six straight minutes of flattery.
Writer "Jo" said: "Thank you, Hillary, for all the work you’ve done for public health care. Ever since the election, I’ve really depended on my government-subsidized anti-anxiety medication."
Writer "Caroline" told Clinton: "Thank you, Hillary, for always sticking to the issues, even as people criticized you for superficial things like your hair, your wardrobe, and your appearance. You showed girls everywhere that politics isn’t a a popularity contest, because if it were, you would have won by about 3 million votes."
Seven writers thanked Hillary in all.
The segment concluded with a surprise cameo from Miley Cyrus, who tearfully said: "Thank you, Hillary, for being a constant beacon of strength, hope, and determination for me and millions of other young women. You’ve been a role model and an inspiration and the voice of reason in uncertain times. I could go on and on, but I’d like to get right to the point. Can I give you a hug?"
Clinton then returned the salutations: "Thank you, Miley, 'The Tonight Show' writers, and all of the women and young girls out there. You are smart, strong, and deserving of every opportunity. Together, we've made our voices heard, we've done great things, and we've come a long way. But as Miley would say, we can't stop, and we won't stop."
