Howard Stern ‘goes there’ with Hillary Clinton, makes her look surprisingly lifelike

Humanizing Hillary Clinton is no easy task. She has no discernible sense of humor (her smile is often fake, her laugh contrived). She's a policy wonk in all the worst ways, deeply submerged in the boring machinations of government. And in one big measure voters sometimes use to pick their candidates -- "Who would you most like to have a beer with?" -- Mrs. Clinton would fall last on nearly every list.
