Hasta La Vista, Baby
Another bit of Clinton campaign madness, courtesy of Newsday’s Glenn Thrush (who, coincidentally, had a bit part in the Mandy Grunwald debate debacle the other day). The Mariachi Divas, an all-female pan-Hispanic music ensemble, appeared before a Hillary rally at Cal State Los Angeles. But when their performance was over, they were kicked out with the words: “Thank you! You were awesome!…There's no room. You can listen outside. Thank you!"
The original report elaborates:
"Thank you! You were awesome!" said a young Clinton volunteer, escorting the group, decked out in rhinestone-studded costumes and toting guitars and fiddles, out a set of double doors.
"But we want to see her," a member protested.
"There's no room. You can listen outside. Thank you!" said the Clintonista, pointing to a crowd listening on loudspeakers outside in the chilly quad.
Another member turned to a reporter and said incredulously, "They're kicking us out!"
We are sorry, Mariachi Divas. You really must realize: Hillary has professed that she loves diamonds and pearls. Rhinestones are just so tacky. But thanks so much for warming up the crowd and voting for her. Surely you understand? Your vote counts.
You, however, do not.

Oh man, was that stupid. Where do they find such people? Simple courtesy would demand more. Of course, it’s a media report, so my rule of thumb also tell me not to take it too seriously until verified.

Do Clinton supporters actually take aim when shooting themselves in the foot? Just idle curiosity.

We’ve heard her sing. Is it not reasonable to assume that she would be just as tone deaf in personal matters?
