Political comedienne Julia Gorin's new humor book, Clintonisms: The Amusing, Confusing, and Suspect Musing of Billary, has hit bookstores across the nation, answering once and for all: Do the Clintons feel our pain, or do they cause it?
Dating back to the 1960s and through both their runs for the highest office in the land, CLINTONISMS juxtaposes Hillary and Bill’s (Billary’s) own words with comedic pre-punchlines, providing a hilarious, ironic, surprising and shocking ride through four decades of the most controversial political couple in American history.
Learn what it was like for Bill and Chelsea to go through puberty together, whether Socks the Cat will be re-adopted to the position of First Prop, and why the Clintons insist on pedigree dogs when they all end up the same in the end. Flat.
Enjoy these excerpts from what's being called the handbook to the 'sport' of Clinton:
