2017--President Hillary's New Best Friend, Vladimir Putin
It was January 21, 2017, and an exhausted President Hillary Clinton was basking in the afterglow of her swearing in the day before. Narrowly defeating Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election, she settled into her chair in the Oval Office on her first full day at the helm. She surveyed the room and dreamed of how she planned to serve out the third and maybe fourth terms of Barack Obama--just as she had promised to do during the campaign.
As she sat back in the comfort of the First Chair and while her husband, First Philanderer Bill Clinton busied himself interviewing new female interns, President Hillary waited for the next congratulatory call from the next head of state. There were, of course, the oil sheiks from the Mideast who had so generously contributed to the Clinton Slush Fund over the years and who wished to remind her that, well, they were owed. Then there were the traditional allies, Britain, France and a nervous Israel--worried whether the new President would be as hostile to the interests of our only Mideast ally as was her predecessor. There was the congratulatory call from Obama who called once more to suggest that he might be interested in a Supreme Court vacancy in the event that some current Justice were to die or retire due to health reasons. After all, Obama's ringing endorsement of President Hillary last summer buoyed her flagging campaign. And there was the wink and a nod to the Attorney General that resulted in no untidy criminal charges as a result of her email indiscretions. There were strings attached to all such favors as the Clintons knew better than anyone.
As she fantasized about higher taxes, free college for everyone, wealth redistribution, and a federal $20 per hour minimum wage, her socialist daydream was interrupted by a rather unexpected call on that special phone reserved for international crises or the threat of nuclear war.
"Hallo Madame President," the speaker said with a slow, slightly foreboding Russian accent, "this is your best friend Vlad."
"Who?" the President Hillary asked.
"You know--Vlad Putin, your new best friend," he replied darkly, "congratulations on your first day in office."
"Well, I am honored by your call," she replied, "but, well, best friend and all that--seems a little presumptuous. I do hope that we can become friends one day, Mr. Putin."
"Please call me Vlad and I, too look forward to working with you to assure our mutual best interests are served--and I am sure we will have a great relationship."
"Mutual best interests?" President Hillary inquired, "what interests are you referring to?"
