Hillary Assassinates Herself In The Foot!
Hillary Assassinates Herself In The Foot!

Chip Collis


When you go to ride the tiger, getting on is the easy part. If you don't have an exit strategy ahead of time, things are going to get pretty desperate. And desperate times, in Hillaryland, call for desperate pronouncements, the types of dumb things that get said when your entire campaign is found to be an empty pantsuit.

Things like:

My experience is so vast that I even committed diplomacy under sniper fire.

Hard-working white people don't vote for my black opponent.

Seating delegations advantageous to me from states that broke DNC rules is like Emancipation in the 1860s or Civil Rights in the 1960s.

Yes, all of these statements are ridiculous, and patently, obviously false on their face. But WHAT ELSE DOES SHE HAVE? When you're fighting for your political life, and you've already blown the chance to dismount the tiger gracefully, that's the time when you open up your mouth and any old shit just comes tumbling out.

It's like a poker game, where your own vastly overinflated sense of superiority won't let you walk away from a mistake. You've raised, check-raised and re-raised on a pair of pocket deuces, as flop, turn and river brought nothing but diamonds. You, your opponent, the dealer and everyone else in the room has marked you as a low pair, and you know you're up against the nut flush.

So you go all in, and talk flamboyant trash, in a desperate bid to bluff the whole world.

1. I don't get it. Wasn't she "done" already?
Russert and everyone else said Obama was the nominee. How can a dead person shoot himself/herself in the foot?

2. I have to say that I am with RFK Jr. on this one
I think she just meant that primary campaigns were still going on in June. That's all.
And I am definitely not a Hillary supporter. I am not, because of the other remarks mentioned in the article.

I am more offended by her insisting on seating the Michigan delegates while refusing to compromise since Obama wasn't on the ballot.
I am more offended by her bringing up Ayres the weatherman at some debate that I had the misfortune to watch.
And I also dislike her "I'm with the white working folks" attitude, while using millions of her personal fortune to shore up her campaign. In France, they call this "the caviar left". But the worst comment of all in my view, which did not garner the outrage of the RFK thing, is her "obliterate Iran" comment. That did it for me.

I used to think she was brilliant.
I don't know what happened...
I did not agree with a lot of things Bill did (and I don't mean Monica), but I used to like him.
I don't know what happened...
