Sources close to Hillary Clinton confirm that last night the former Secretary of State copied a speech from her 2008 campaign for president into a new document, sighed, and then slowly closed her computer. Clad in sweatpants and a t-shirt, the former senator and presidential candidate had reportedly told members of her staff that she “had to take care of something.” She then stared at her computer for several seconds before copying the contents of file named “My Promise to the People” into a new document and closing it soon thereafter.
She never once touched the keyboard.
The speech, which remained open for as long as it took for Clinton to purse her lips and slowly rub her temples, has reportedly been opened five times in the past few months but never edited. This time, Clinton skimmed the 15 page document, stopping to re-read the phrases “I have years and years of experience” and “I will be tireless” several times while breathing heavily. She then moused over the number “2008,” moved her hands to the row of numbers on her keyboard, sighed, and slowly closed the computer.
At press time, Clinton had opened her computer, Googled “how to seem youthful and qualified at the same time,” bowed her head, and left the room.
