Best of Times, Worst of Times

If only Hillary Clinton could take a page from Dickens' classic self-less character Sydney Carton, the self-centered man with his eye on a prize he would never win who ultimately sacrifices himself so that others can live on and be happy.

Obama has won two more (albeit not delegate-rich) states since last Tuesday's shake-up-that-really-wasn't-a-shake-up, and his delegate lead is back up to 129 (and one could argue 155, since I can't see John Edwards giving his delegates to HER now). The writing could not be more legible on the wall; it's over, but rather than get out of the way for the good of her own party she'd rather scorch the earth in the hopes that someday she might still get to be President. She would rather have McCain win (he who wants 100 more years of Iraq war and who will most likely attack Iran to carry Bush's water/flag a little further) because she thinks he'd be a one-term president and she could run again in 2012 than to have someone who shares similar ideals with her win in 2008 and help to turn the country around. WOW. Wow. Wow. Wow. WOW.

She's getting to the point where she's as bad or worse than the Republicans have been. She's trying to "steal" the delegates from Michigan and Florida (they had agreed BEFORE those votes that the delegates wouldn't count, though now that she needs them, she thinks they should; Obama WASN'T EVEN ON THE BALLOT in Michigan! Yeah, that's fair).

As we've documented, she played the Muslim/fear/terrorist card.

Geraldine Ferraro (who appears to have gone certifiably BATSHIT CRAZY) played the race card on her behalf, and THEN tried the reverse-race-card trick. She had the loony-balls to say:

"If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman, he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept."

That would be comical if it wasn't so completely assinine (because, you know, being a Brotha in America is generally a road paved with gold and privilege). When blasted, her reply was:

"Any time anybody does anything that in any way pulls this campaign down and says, 'Let's address reality and the problems we're facing in this world,' you're accused of being racist, so you have to shut up," she told the Daily Breeze of Torrance, California. "Racism works in two different directions. I really think they're attacking me because I'm white. How's that?"

If you can make it through that quote without blacking out, you're doing better than I am. Honkies have had such a tough road of dominance and opportunity since the late 1700's. It's amazing we can even get up in the morning!

For the love of God, Hillary. It's time. I believe it was the wise man Ludicrus who once posited:
"Move bitch, get out the way / Get out the way bitch, get out the way / Move bitch, get out the way / Get out the way bitch, get out the way"

Oops, by Ferraro's logic, now I'm a bigot.
