Hillary Clinton Texts Like a Boss

The 2012 campaign has a new meme. And, oooh, it's a good one.

Step aside, Santorum's Sweater Vest. Thanks for the lolz, Real Mitt Romney. The 2012 election -- so long caught in the hilarity-squashing swamp that is an endless primary season -- has a new Internet hero. And that hero is neither Republican nor actually running in the election nor inclined to take your guff.

Yep: Hillary Clinton! Texting at people! Behold, "the best political meme of the election cycle so far"!

The memetastic delight plays out over at theTexts from HillaryTumblr,via images that are a pitch-perfect fusion of irony (in the manner ofKim Jong Il Looking at Things)and respect (Kate Middleton For the Win). The brainchild of DC communications professionalsAdam Smith --this one, not that one--and Stacy Lambe, the site was dreamed up over drinks last night ! after th e pair had watched photos of Clinton, taken in October but given new life yesterday, make their way around the Internet.

And: BOOM! Wonder and Joy and Light-Hearted Mockery ... of everyone, that is, except Hillary Clinton. As Lambe told Yahoo News, "The site is meant to be a compliment to Hillary. Hopefully, everyone gets that."
