Clinton’s voice found again after being misplaced in Michigan

The voice that presidential candidate Hillary Clinton found in a snow bank in New Hampshire and which helped in her surprising victory in the primary there was the target of an intensive search by Clinton campaign staffers after the former first lady discovered that she had left it somewhere in Michigan.

“I’m just not used to remembering to take my new voice with me after I talk to people,” said Clinton, who gave several speeches and more than a dozen interviews before realizing that she was speaking with the old, bitchy voice that she’d used for many years.

“As soon as I realized I’d misplaced my new voice,” said Clinton, “I had my campaign staff stop everything, work over time, and search for it. They located it fourteen hours later in a coffee shop in Lansing where a waitress working the lunch shift had been using it to boost her tips.

“I think Hillary Clinton’s voice is even better for this experience,” said a Clinton campaign staffer. “If you listen to it now, you can hear an even greater sense of vulnerability. This is what a female presidential candidate’s voice needs to have in order to make her not seem like a cold, heartless, ambitious, calculating bitch.”
