Abstract
This chapter examines the jokes about former U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton. It explains that some of the anti-Hillary jokes date to the earliest days of electronic newslore and suggests that the volume and persistence of nasty jokes about Clinton are simply astonishing. It discusses journalist Jason Horowitz’s description of Clinton as an empty vessel into which her detractors can pour everything they detest about politicians, ambitious women and an American culture they fear is being wrested from their control. This chapter also provides some examples of anti-Hillary jokes.
