Heh. So are we!
As Twitchy reported, Twitter users mocked the upcoming NBC miniseries on Hillary Clinton with #HillaryMovieTitles. Then the always awesome Katie Pavlich let Hillary have it with #HillaryMiniSeriesTitles.
Now, Hot Air’s Allahpundit, the New York Times’ Ross Douthat and others are previewing the heroic plot. And it is snark-tastic.
Basically, you have a heroine whose 3 most famous moments are 1) the defeat of Hillarycare, 2) the Lewinsky scandal, and 3) losing to Obama.

@DouthatNYT Surely she can/will be portrayed as a sympathetic victim in each of those moments?
— alexmassie (@alexmassie) August 8, 2013
@alexmassie Oh, sure. But weird to have a biopic in which your steely future-president heroine spends her political career being a victim.
— Ross Douthat (@DouthatNYT) August 8, 2013
Ah yes. Shattering that victim-glass ceiling!
@DouthatNYT @alexmassie Victimhood is the new heroism
— John Podhoretz (@jpodhoretz) August 8, 2013
Perfect.
@jpodhoretz @DouthatNYT @alexmassie Her “heroism” is that she soldiers on through all of the victimization #survivor

Gloria Gaynor has nothing on Saint Hillary.
@allahpundit @jpodhoretz @alexmassie That IS the power of her story, yes! The martyrdom of St. Hillary. But Joan of Arc won some battles.

@allahpundit @jpodhoretz @alexmassie For Hillary, there's no dramatic peak, no hour of triumph. I mean, beating Rick Lazio?

@DouthatNYT @allahpundit @alexmassie She will bring cooking oil and cookstoves to a village in Djibouti and the tears will flow.

Heh. Commentary’s John Podhoretz and other Twitter users remind us of some illustrious Hillary moments: What valor!
@DouthatNYT @allahpundit @alexmassie Hillary flew 1 million miles. You think that's easy? And without frequent-flyer miles!

.@DouthatNYT You left out the triumphant vote cast to authorize the invasion of Iraq. @allahpundit @jpodhoretz @alexmassie

Isn't turning $1k into $100k trading cattle futures an accomplishment?@DouthatNYT @allahpundit @jpodhoretz @alexmassie @mattklewis

Snicker.
And leave it to Allahpundit to end with an exit snark-point:
@DouthatNYT @jpodhoretz @alexmassie We practically owe her the presidency after all of this suffering
— Allahpundit (@allahpundit) August 8, 2013
You’ve come a long way, baby!
