This past Friday, during a meeting with a newspaper editorial board, I was asked about whether I was going to continue in the presidential race. I made clear that I was - and that I thought the urgency to end the 2008 primary process was unprecedented. I pointed out, as I have before, that both my husband's primary campaign, and Sen. Robert Kennedy's, had continued into June. Almost immediately, some took my comments entirely out of context and interpreted them to mean something completely different - and completely unthinkable.
How stupid amd self-absorbed do you have to be in order to keep furiously spinning when it's long since become painfully obvious to any lucid observer that you just (&^%$# up BIG TIME? If hubris can be taken as the willingness to stay "on message" when the train has long since jumped the tracks...well, then you're beginning to understand that Hillary Clinton is a miserable excuse for a human being...much less a Democrat.
"Why I Continue To Run" is a monumental homage to a monumental ego, a paean to a messianic personality who just doesn't understand when to cash in her chips. A Democrat who at one time was worthy of all the hero worship I could muster- and then some- she has reduced herself to a public figure not even worthy of being pitied. When winning is not just everything, but the ONLY thing, you run the risk of ending up a parody of your former self. Yes, HRC, will continue trying to spin, cheat, miscast, misrepresent- and in general do whatever she thinks is necessary and required to win...even if it means blaming Sen. Obama for her own egregious (&^%up. Damn, I never would have dreamed that a fellow Democrat could behave in such a thoroughly despicable manner.
To borrow one of my father's pet phrases, I wouldn't piss on her if she was on fire. Then again, I did say that I was done lending any more credibility to her miserable, self-absorbed lunacy, didn't I? Yeah, apparently I did. So, this is where I get off, then. May she go wherever it is that a miserable excuse for a human being such as herself goes when all is said and done.
