Hillary Clinton's colossal blunder simply the last straw

RFK Jr. is defending her statement, but the crescendo is building against her.

We have seen an X-ray of a very dark soul. One consumed by raw ambition to where the possible assassination of an opponent is something to ponder in a strategic way. Otherwise, why is murder on her mind?

It's like Tanya Harding's kneecapping has come to politics. Only the senator from New York has more lethal fantasies than that nutty skater.

Nothing is off limits for the ambitious, coldly-calculating and ruthless Senator.

She has grown increasingly wild in her imagery lately, invoking everything from slavery to the political killings in Zimbabwe in making her argument for the Florida and Michigan delegations. She claimed to be the victim of sexism, despite winning the votes of white men.

Good point, that.

But none of it was moving the nomination needle, with Obama, despite recent dents, still on course to be the victor. So she kept digging deeper, looking for the magic button. Instead, she pushed the eject button, lifting herself right out of consideration.


She'll keep digging. It's clear that she sees it as her right to get the nomination that is rightfully hers, and, that if she won't get it, she'll pursue a scorched-earth policy of relentless attack.

Clinton
has now fed that fear. She needs a very long vacation. And we need one from her. Say good night, Hillary. And go away.
