Is America's Long Nightmare Finally Over?
One would think that the Clintons would finally see the light and stop throwing their money on a failed campaign. (I was tempted to say "their money AND their credibility," but, as we all know, the Clintons are allergic to credibility.)
But, Hillary obviously has something up her sleeve; something to spring at the convention. She's holding out... but for what? Some pundits have wondered whether this is a Veep grab. I don't think so - Hillary may have been willing to play second fiddle to her boob of a husband, but she's not going to go through that again to a boob of an Obama.
Some have said we are finally seeing the end of the Clinton dynasty - that our repudiation of Hillary is actually a long-overdue repudiation of The Bill. Maybe so, but that's not likely to drive the Clintons from the American Political Stage anytime soon. Worse than a Poltergeist, the Clintons keep coming back to haunt us.
As long as they draw breath, and until 1. the voters of New York give Hillary the boot from her Senate Seat and 2. the Democratic Party finally wakes up and cuts them loose, the Clintons will continue to haunt the backwaters of our political system.
Pantsuit or no pantsuit, it's all about Them.
