It is always nice to see pathological lying public figures with famously huge egos and massive quantities of self importance get theirs.

Hillary has had her eye on The Prize for many, many years - we think at least during the Clinton White House years and perhaps pre-dating even that.  We think the strategy for a very long time was that as Bill's political star waned  hers would rise.  Through it all - Hillary lied about her White House ambitions - over and over and over and over she lied and lied - 'What? Who me President?  What's that?'.  What a super-tanker load of liquefied manure.

And then the inevitable shit-eating grin as she declared her candidacy.  What a surprise!

She basked  in the glow of the forgonely concluded Democratic Party presidential nominee rhetoric flowing all about her.  Heir apparent to The Throne.

And then came Barack Obama - young, tall, dark and handsome (well, he doesn't do anything for me, but hec - the majority does rule) and most importantly of all UNKNOWN.

Most voters, including me, longingly seek political candidates that sound like they will be agents of meaningful change.  Many of the little people long for change without really fully understanding what change it is that they want.  All the little folks know is that things seem not right - they are not economists, but sense the national economy is in a bad place.  They are not geo-political strategists, but sense America has wandered from the righteous path, even if they are not sure what the righteous path should be.   They are tired of the endless stream of petty bickering and back-biting coming from Washington DC.  They are weary of war news. 

Lo and behold an empty vessel labeled Barack Obama appears, and millions of wishful thinking people dump their hopes into it.

Hillary was flummoxed.  How dare the upstart snot-nosed kid challenge the Heir to The Throne?  Off with his - ah - head!

Hillary did indeed fight a relatively good fight (of course, it would have been way more better without Bill) against someone who was not supposed to challenge the Heir apparent, and Hillary could not conceal the real Hillary well enough to fool all the Democrats all the time.  Without Obama, Hillary would have won the nomination, in the absence of an unknown but charismatic contender - Democraps who don't really like her would have resigned themselves to vote for her anyway - instead they abandoned her for the mystery man with no record to speak of.  Hoping he would be different.

So in the end, Hillary lost, and by a fairly slim margin, but she did lose.  And what does she do on the day Obama clinched the nomination?  She took a somewhat subtle, but clear and spiteful shit on Obama's historic victory.  Why do that?  Because when you are a ego-ravaged, arrogant, self-important jerk like Hillary naturally you cannot go into the political night quietly.

We have no doubt that Hillary will eat her helping of political crow this weekend when she FINALLY concedes the contest to Obama.  We also have no doubt this drama will be replayed in 4 or 8 years depending on who makes it into office. 

Hillary is our Stupid Politician of the day, joining Dick Chenney in that non-exclusive club (of which Bill is a distinguished emeritus member) because she incinerated a really impressive quantity of political capital being a petty spiteful cretin rather than being gracious in defeat.   Hillary as Vice President?  A distant and isolated second fiddle to the upstart kid while not-so-secretly hoping an assassin's bullet find it's mark?  You folks can't possibly be that stupid.

The Clinton's need their own reality show, it would make for great television.
