I chortle.  I laugh in tones of elfen merriness.  Tra-la.  Tra-la.

Clinton is being bit by the ticks she brung with her.

Too late to change strategy.  She wrapped herself in the Inevitability argument and now she's no longer Inevitable that dog won't hunt.  

And she doesn't have anything left.  

Oh, she can try to play the, "In 35 years I ain't done squat" message, as she did in the debate.  That would be really funny to watch.

A doo run-run-run, a doo run-run

I do feel bad for her, watching her realize that the old guard has led her down the wrong path, and knowing that she's put up with a lot that she didn't deserve over the years.  The right wing has spent years saying hideous things about her and her family (most sickening, her daughter, whom they've tried to shield from politics).  Her husband humiliated her in front of the entire planet.

But, in the end, it can't be denied that she did this to herself.  She supported this hideous war.  She didn't back down from that position.  Then she ran the most conventional, Washington-ized campaign one could imagine, and, when she began to slip, she allowed her staff to launch some truly disgusting dog-whistle attacks on Obama.  And she's going to pay for it by losing her shot at the White House.

So I feel bad for her in some ways, but, at the end of the day, she has only herself to blame.

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

There's that. And Bill.

It was her big mistake to let him out of the bag this summer and during the '06 election cycle. BIG mistake.

The "strategists" shoulda let that dwag lie in fond remembrance.

Diversity is the key to economic and political evolution.
