'Texts from Hillary' meme

As fast as a meme can take a politician down, it can equally build one up. A simple photo of Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton sitting in a C-17 military cargo plane coolly checking her phone while underlings behind her are hard at work projected a scene of serene confidence. The creators played off the imagine, <a href="http://textsfromhillaryclinton.tumblr.com/">presenting imaginary scenarios of Clinton</a> swatting away lesser beings trying to connect with her. The meme was so popular that the New York Times' Maureen Dowd was compelled to <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/11/opinion/dowd-state-of-cool.html?_r=2&ref=opinion&">write</a> about it.
