Hillary enters death-with-dignity phase

If she hasn't already quit, it's hard to envision Clinton continuing her unwinnable -- even with Florida and Michigan -- battle beyond June 4.

    So many of the mighty have fallen...

    ...and there's always the sad period of denial from the faithfull when that line is crossed. Hillary Clinton is now a clown, a buffoon. She's a media freak show. Watching her and Bill court the White Power crowd is both repellent and fascinating. Her supporters know it, but they're in denial. I went through the same thing when Alice Cooper guest-starred on The Snoop Sisters in 1973. I was so apalled and disappointed, but I couldn't even allow my self to recognize the thoughts in my own head. Eventually I did, and I was fine.

    Obama vs McCain. Its full steam ahead. The Hillary Clinton saga is just morbid couriosity at this point. She has a couple weeks at best. Her "victories" in West Virginia and Kentucky will be tainted with the stink of her ugly racial tactics. They will just shed a harsh light on this country's uglier side. In the end she'll be left with the loony Taylor Marsh groupies and Hillary44.org and that's about it.
