Communist much, Hillary?

Election 2008, Hillary Clinton, Politics
Okay, I saw a poster of Hillary last week or the week before that was just horrid. I thought it was a one-off and joke on the Clinton’s campaign. Someone over at TPM alerted us to the fact that it is an official poster from the Clinton’s campaign.
So…we got the rays of light coming from behind the head…that and the color of them made them very Communist China in my head. But the other hat tip to Communistic propaganda is very subtle: Hillary left profile.
Showing Mao’s left profile was huge in the posters a few years after the Cultural Revolution. There’s a lot of stuff I’m not remembering too clearly and I don’t feel like looking it up. IIRC, there was something criminal in looking left, so after the Cultural Revolution, Mao was shown either facing front or facing right. Just like our girl.
Oh, I’m sure if you ask the artist he’d say he was being cute. Question is, does the campaign think it’s cute?

She looks like the girlfriend of the main character, “Dieter,” in the Saturday Night Live skit, “Sprockets.”

Oh crap…that’s why I’ve had “I’m as happy as a little girl” stuck in my head for the past week. LOL…She totally does.
