Goddamit, maybe Hillary's right about MI & FL.
Advertisements [?]
Just possibly technically correct in some finely parsed, weasel-worded sort of way, like Bill was "right" when he said he didn't "have sex with that woman," and when he got into excruciatingly twisted logic about the meaning of "is." Yes, Hillary MAY have some grounds for her position if you are willing to follow her through a maze of Wonderland reasoning as she plays literal-minded word games just like Bill did a decade and more ago. That seems to be a very Clintonesque, shyster-lawyerly thing to do. And then as now, people don't really buy it. By any reasonable standard, Bill did indeed "have sex with that woman." And Hillary DID contravene at least the spirit of the rules by being on the Michigan ballot. And they both have tin ears about how their conniving little rationalizations play with the public. At least with the part of the public that's actually listening.

I'm getting really damned sick of listening to these people and their various apologists on this board and elsewhere. Hillary's campaign is a vegetable. Why can't she do the merciful thing and take it off life support?
