I thought it was a parody that TYT did for their piece.
Surreal.

in the same circles, political affiliation not withstanding. Bill Clinton is big buddies with Poppy Bush. Hillary got her start carrying water for Sam Walton, and their daughter is married to a hedge fund manager and former investment banker for Goldman Sacs. That's how the American political aristocracy works.
