It’s natural to think you’re being duped in today’s Internet culture when you see something like this — Hey guys, a reputable magazine Photoshopped Hillary’s face to a planet for a story! — but no, it’s real.
Hillary Clinton, who starred in 2008’s “The Runner-Up” and made an unusually long cameo in the 2012 flub “What Benghazi?” is set portray Planet Hillary in a 2013 release of the same name. The New York Times Magazine did the honor of rendering Clinton’s facial features onto a planet for its cover story this upcoming weekend, which observes that “the gravitational pull of a possible 2106 campaign is bringing all the old Clinton characters into her orbit.” From David Joachim of the Times‘ D.C. bureau:
