Hillary was seranaded for her birthday on El Gordo y La Flaca (Univision) t.v. show

The Spanish is inherently non-PC, with "El Gordo" meaning "the fat dude" and "La Flaca" being "the skinny gal", referring to the co-hosts. Lili's family is 1st Generation Exile, who were frequent guests at the Poppy and Shrub White House soirees, with Gloria ESTEFAN having said she was courted for recruitment by the CIA which she refused when she was young, such that Lili might have had B.F.E.E. leanings, although she has moved on or hides it now. However, Raul has made frequent comments about definitely being in the Dem camp, such as the time he said he was accosted by JEB Crow Shrub at the airport, who pointed at him in gleeful recognition and yelled, "El Gordo y La Flaca!" Raul went on to say that his political views are not JEB's but that he was not going to be rude so he shook hands correctly if cursorily.

Hillary looks like she was totally having fun, and contrary to what detractors allege totally relateable. They offered her Cuban coffee and chocolate chip cookies that she sampled despite the Secret Service's token objections, and a (vodka? tequila?) shot that she didn't, although she said she's familiar!!!!!!!!!1 They asked her to promise to come back as President, and she said she will, but also whenever she needs her spirits lifted.

[font size=5]Hillary CLINTON paid a historic visit to El Gordo y La Flaca[/font]

(from Wiki: )
[font size=5]Raúl De Molina[/font]
was born in Cuba[2][3] but left at the age of 10. For the following years he grew up in Madrid, Spain and eventually arrived in the United States at the age of 16.

After graduating from the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale, Raúl worked for the Associated Press as a freelance photographer during the 1980s.

His photographs have been published in Time, Life, Newsweek, and Paris Match among others. For the past 21 years he has been anchoring television shows, first for Telemundo and now for Univision.

A well-known television personality among Hispanics in the USA, Raúl can be seen every weekday at 4pm EST as the host of Univision’s “El Gordo y la Flaca”, a show he has co-hosted with Lili Estefan since 1998. De Molina’s popularity is demonstrated by the show’s consistently high ratings. It has more viewers on its time slot than ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX combined.[4]

She is the niece of music producer Emilio Estefan (whose wife is) singer Gloria Estefan.
