Oh, Why Bother

It has come to that. It has come to the point where there is really no point in saying anything more about Billary. I was thinking earlier about entitling this post, "Dustbin of History," or alternatively, "Clinton Chameleon." But, upon further reflection, why bother.

Indeed, Billary has worked hard during this campaign to reacquaint us with those attributes of its personality that we found distasteful so many years ago. We had forgotten how Billary preemptively fired the career employees in the White House travel office who had served many administrations both Republican and Democrat. We had forgotten about the Rose law firm billing records which miraculously appeared in the White House after all those years. We had forgotten about the shrewd investment that turned $1000 into $100,000. We had forgotten about the horrible sense of entitlement they exhibited. We had forgotten the "bull in the china shop" tendencies. As they say, "Thanks for the memories." As the NY Times reported this morning, she will have a hard time returning to the Senate where she will resume her position as 36th in tenure out of 49 Democratic Senators. Too bad. So it goes in the dustbin of history.

Months ago I did a post about her cloying southern accent at the church in Selma. As I said then, it dripped of fat back and hogs maw. Now, we hear that she was pure corn pone and molasses in the hollows of Kentucky and West Virginia. Aw shucks, I'm just like you back country folks. Dear Hillary, she is whatever we want her to be. Chameleon indeed. It is just like looking in a mirror...except, with Billary, it has become a rearview mirror.

Why bother to mention the latest reference to the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy. Usually, the subtext is more powerful when it is left unspoken. But, when you are Billary and you are losing you pull out all the stops. Today, the ex President got off the reservation again and said that Obama could not win against McCain.

We must put Billary out of its misery soon. I believe former President Carter is correct when he observes that the superdelegates will flock to Obama after June 3. Must we continue to watch and listen to Billary until then? Do we have to? Why bother?
