Hillary Clinton Inspires Americas Little Girls To Become . . . . . President
Hillary Clintons glass ceiling appearance by video at Night Two of the DNC reminded us that this is not exactly a small accomplishment for this creaky old republic of ours. She kept the statement brief and focused on the history-making. And damned if she didnt get us a little misty-eyed, too, because Yr Wonkette is totally a sucker for certain forms of inspirational moments. Like that one up top.
What an incredible honor that you have given me. And I cant believe we just put the biggest crack in that glass ceiling yet. Thanks to you and to everyone whos fought so hard to make this possible. This is really your victory, this is really your night.
And if there are any little girls out there who stayed up late to watch, let me just say I may become the first woman president, but one of you is next.

Nice Time: Little Girl Meets Hillary Clinton, Joyously Freaks Out
As we mentioned in our livebloog Tuesday, we couldnt help but be reminded of the reaction of then 10-year-old Macy Friday, when she got to shake Clintons hand in 2014 when Hillary was in Denver to campaign for Mark Udall.

That's pretty adorable
As we said at the time, that right there is a genuine I got a puppy, no, TWO puppies! face. Were going to bet Macy was watching Tuesday night.
This is a much younger presidential aspirant than Macy, but shes pretty darn adorable, too: Video description: My daughter and I watching and recording the DNC and she now believes she could be the next President of the United States! And yes, cynics, maybe it was on Tivo, not live. We dont know or care. Its adorbs anyway.
The Clinton campaign was well aware of the moment, and prepped for it with a pretty slick web ad featuring girls reading their letters to Hillary Clinton, mashed into a single letter. We could have done with a bit less inspirational music, especially when it drowns out the kids, who are terrific:
Dear Mrs Clinton,
Im so excited
have a chance to become the first woman president because, from George Washington to Barack Obama, it is ridiculous that there has never been a female president before.
Forty-four boys is too many!
It will be hard work to be a grandma and president, but I know you can do it.
I hope you encourage people to help save the Earth.
Fight for world peace.
I would like to see an end to killing by guns.
You inspire me so that I can be who I want to be when I grow up.
And yes, we agree that the best line isnt read aloud:

(And now we prepare from all the whining from butthurt MRAs who say Clinton will never let boys accomplish anything ever again).
