  I'm Your Girl
The Globe reports* that Hillary Clinton has been playing up her feminine side lately, "increasingly portraying herself more as motherly and traditional than as trailblazing and feminist, sometimes playing up the differences between men and women."

...On "The View," a daytime TV talk show aimed at female viewers, Clinton criticized people who focus on her haircut or clothes, yet she joked about the differences between her and her male rivals: "Well, look how much longer it takes me to get ready."

And at the AFL-CIO Democratic forum in Chicago in August, the most memorable moment was Clinton's buoyant declaration to the union faithful that if they wanted a winner, "I'm your girl."

One understands Hillary's dilemma; apparently many voters still see her as too "strident," and she has to walk the line between being "strong" and being "feminine," which is of course a bogus dichotomy.

But still...

I'm your girl?

Comments:
"I'm your huckleberry" is a better line.

(Hint: From a movie, said by a character played by the best actor in a secondary role in Heat.)

I don't see anything wrong with it as an expression, especially if she thinks it is funny.
 
11:39 - you win. Wasn't he great in Heat (and Tombstone for that matter)?
