After mentoring former aide Huma Abedin on how to handle the Anthony Weiner sexting scandal, it looks like Hillary is at it again. A spokesperson confirmed on Monday that Hillary Clinton sent a large Edible Arrangements package to former French First Lady Valerie Trierweiler in the light of the recent "shoe scandal" that exposed French President Hollande and his non-extramarital, extramarital affair(s).
Reportedly the arrangement included tropical fruits such as pineapple and kiwi in lieu of a more romantic option like chocolate covered strawberries in order to prevent unwanted outbursts of tears. Inside the gift was a hand-written ticket that simply said, "Consider this a promotion."
When asked in a press conference to explain the cryptic message Hillary said, "Bill getting caught with the intern was frankly one of the best things that happened to me. It got the men feeling bad, the women sympathizing and, ultimately, the electorate to move in my favor. Never has a political career shot up so quickly (no pun intended), especially for a women. I think she should take that as a lesson to learn from."
It appears the message got through as members of Ms. Trierweiler's inner circle say she is considering a seat at the European Parliament, which is scheduled to hold elections in May of this year. Chocolatier's in the European Quarter are already prepping themselves in anticipation of a large order from Hillary in the case that Ms. Trierweiler wins.
