Hillary Clinton Is Lucille Bluth, Explained

Hillary Clinton (left) and Lucille Bluth.
April 16, 2015

Hillary Clinton’s road trip to Real America has been entertaining to watch. Her adventures trying to interact with "everyday" common folk on the campaign trail has reminded us of another out-of-touch dynastic matriarch: Lucille Bluth. The similarities are uncanny:

  • The Bluth family, like the Clinton family, was under investigation for shady dealings with foreign governments.
  • Lucille, like Hillary, was the true mastermind behind all of the schemes.
  • They’re both grandparents, and both have son-in-laws who aren’t very good at their jobs.
  • Lucille had Gene Parmesan at her disposal to investigate her enemies, while Hillary has Sidney Blumenthal and his mysterious private intelligence network.
  • Both Lucille (alcohol) and Hillary (money) suffer from addiction.
  • Both are terrified by the thought of losing their wealth, so accustomed are they to the trappings of elite social and financial status.
  • Their husbands have been known to cry in front of prostitutes.

Hillary's reactions in certain situations are eerily similar to Lucille's, as you'll see definitively from these GIFs.
