| Yes, I know - it's Maureen Dowd. Deft knife work, MD. Excerpt: “Hillary, you’ve been a great candidate, better than your train-wreck campaign. You’re Churchillian in your indomitable tenacity. You’ve inspired women all over the country. In fact, you’ve inspired some of them to hate me. But now it’s time for you to try to muster a gracious exit.” “Forget it, Bones. Once Harold Ickes works his dark magic on the delegate rules to count Michigan and Florida, I’ll have the popular vote. And then the superdelegates will grovel back. They know in their hearts that they don’t want to go on a blind date with a guy who’s going to be BFF with Cuba, Hamas, Iran and retired Weathermen. You can bet your white turban that I’m not raising the white flag.” “Like hell you aren’t, sister.” “Sexist!” “Racist!” “Speaking of whites, you can’t win without them. And if you think your Secretary of Hairdressing, John Edwards, is going to help, you’re more delusional than I am.” “Hillary, when are you going to realize that these whites you consider your pawns are so sick of the Republicans that they’re going to vote for anybody who has the ‘D’ next to their name, and it’s going to be me. So cool it with the White Fright. Now what do you want? Debt relief?” “Bill and I don’t need your Netroots arugula moolah. We don’t need your stinking $20 donors. We’ve got Burkle, the Saudis, the Kuwaitis and Kazakh uranium loot on tap.” “Settle down, Hillary. What if I let you write the health care plank in the party platform?” “Wow, you’re so-o-o generous. Can I also write the plank on switchgrass?” “I switched from grass a long time ago.” “Listen, rookie, we’re gonna have to share this thing.” “Fine, you can have the 3 a.m. shift on the White House switchboard.” Read it. It's all good. |
