Her staff obviously approves, and they contacted Mr Lambe and Mr Smith on Tuesday asking to submit a post themselves. Last week, the site's two creators visited her office and posted a picture with the sunglass-wearing Secretary that they posted as proof of her approval.

The staff of the Secretary sent in their own post, which was then put on the Tumblr. Their joke took friendly jabs at the site's creators and Mrs Clinton herself, teasing about the fact that her staffers hate the fact she wears 80's style scrunchies.

In order to prove the authenticity of the post, Mrs Clinton wrote on a print out, even taking on the persona of her alter ego by signing it 'Hillz'.

We just thought Wouldnt it be funny to know what she was texting in that moment, the Tumblrs co-creator Stacy Lambe told MailOnline.

She just looks so in charge checking her Blackberry on the C17.
