Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Loves Texts From Hillary, So She Made One

For great justice

Whoa, whoa, WHOA. You guys, you know that time we told you about the new Tumblr taking the internets by storm, Texts From Hillary? You’re never going to believe who found out about it: Hillary Clinton. I mean, it’s not impossible to think that this would completely elude a person who is the Secretary of State, as well as a former First Lady of the United States, who is currently working for the most social media-savvy president who ever presidented.

Or maybe it was just nice, for a change, to be a part of something that didn’t involve the fate of the entire world.
