Andy Borowitz is a liberal satirist who writes political parody for HuffPost and other sites, usually pretty good and cutting parody. I think his point with this piece is to satirize all of the current speculation regarding Hilary and the idiots in the media who are pushing the possibility of her presidential candidacy right now just for ratings and attention.
