An American Psycho Meets the Clintons |

Former president Bill Clinton should take pride in that he is definitely the best looking chubby chaser As a recent graduate of Baruch College lacking excitement for one of the most historic races for the Democratic nomination, I decided to attend the primary. I waited in line for hours with avid Clinton supporters chanting songs about going to Denver, "Yes she will!" many would shout. After two hours of waiting to get into a school that has accumulated a small fortune from me, I was finally in. Scuttling past reporters, wishing I had harassed one of my editors for a press pass because I could not find a seat, I settled for a spot on the floor in front of the podium with my friends. We easily became restless as we waited another hour for the event to start, I felt as if I was at a concert and wanted to shove everyone so I could get closer and then I remembered my manners unlike some of the Hillary fanatics in attendance. Many people were pushing through attempting to get a better view. Some people became creative, one man hoisted young woman onto his shoulders so she could see the podium. Now that she had a better view, we no longer had one; however, some may say we had the best view in the house because she was wearing a very short dress that hardly covered her behind in the air. This preshow ended when someone came over to tell her she needed to get down because she was blocking the press. Hillary eventually took the stage and as mechanical as she appears, she has a presence that feels welcoming and strong. She is definitely
a fighter; after all, she did salvage her marriage and keep her family
together after horrid public humiliation. Being cheated on is
humiliating enough without the whole world bearing witness and
surviving such a graphic hardship in public, a little political
campaign is not going to keep her down. After
the event was over, the Clintons made their rounds shaking hands and
signing autographs. I thought it would fit the occasion best if I had
them sign my copy of Brett Easton Ellis' American Psycho. The title
alone is ironic enough; however, if you have read the novel about
Patrick Bateman a yuppie serial killer in the 80s whose peers are so
materialistic and self-absorbed that they do not realize their
associate is a vicious murderer, you are aware of the irony. The highly
detailed gruesome novel often has Bateman voice his crimes yet no one
ever takes a moment to listen to what he is saying since it is not
about money, fashion or any yuppie fad of interest and due to this, he
gets away with his crimes. Sounds much like our government and when the
secret service took my book away as I was trying to get it signed I
became really upset knowing I would never get it back. When I did get
the book back and it was autographed by Clinton I was in
shock. I would have never expected that they were trying to be nice and
when I saw the signature, I knew she did not even look at the book
because she was being swarmed with people wanting photos and autographs. Bill
Clinton was the next to come around to shake hands and mingle with
civilians. When I laid eyes on the former president in person, I felt
as if I was looking at the spokesman for hot dirty old men everywhere.
I still cannot believe the man I once immortalized as a chubby chaser
