  weeping, germ, yoplait

  Thanks, weeping brunhilde (sp) for as trenchant a post as I've seen in a while. Kind, keen, convincing. Germ, you too. yoplait resurfaces as a racist thug. It's what he does; I don't know if that's what he is, but we have to deal with what we've been dealt. Here's by take. the Clintons are about blowing. Blowing chances, Blowing leads, Inflating resumes. Blowing our majority in Congress, blowing interns, huffing and puffing Bosnian, Irish, and other scenarios. It comes down to inspiration, leadership, and credibility. Billary loses on all three counts, as she is losing in every significant measure, and increasingly so. If she had a cell of cellulite that gave a damn about this country, she'd have a long, private, frank talk with Obama. She does not need to concede. It is true that there is almost no way she would be mathematically eliminated before the convention. She has the right, which no one should deny her, and which Obama has specifically emphasized, to run the string out, all the way to July. Is that best for America? Hang whichever party it's best for. Does her intransigence, against all reasonable hope, do our country good? It is not her fault she's behind. History happens. She's on the wrong side. Chance has dealt her a losing hand. If she were the woman we'd hope she'd be as president, she'd fold; not because she has no mathematical chance of squeaking out a nomination, but because her bullheaded drive is increasingly likely to make President McLame a probability. I trust I need not elaborate on why that is is in our national and international disinterest. Now, shawnie boy or yoplait, tell me why this is not so. Hold the vaseline. love heywood
