The Clinton noise is like Fitchburg, Wisconsin cops harassing a residential home: Bad attitude and lots of time of their hands.
But it's Bernie Sanders who is targeted by Clinton for special reproach: Did you know Bernie isn't even a Democrat?
Ohh myyyy God!
From an instructive review by Jeffrey St. Clair in CounterPunch:
Hillary has tried to reinvent herself many times and does so yet again in this meretricious coda to her failed campaign. ...
She rationalized her votes for the Iraq War by saying she was duped by Colin Powell and Dick Cheney. She manufactured a timely tear for the cameras after her loss to Obama. She assumed the mantle of unrepentant war-monger during her belligerent tenure as Secretary of State and transubstantiated into a white dove during her debates with Bernie Sanders. ...
She then cynically blames Sanders for her losses in Ohio and Pennsylvania with apparently no assist from Putin: 'What did matter, and had a lasting impact, was that Bernie’s presence in the race meant that I had less space and credibility to run the kind of progressive campaign that had helped me win Ohio and Pennsylvania in 2008.' Tell Putin the news, Bernie.
Jesus Hillary, a simple I fucked up would do. Bernie did not stop Clinton from winning Ohio and Pennsylvania and Michigan and Wisconsin and Florida, you nit-wit.
Notes David Remnick in The New Yorker:
The wounds that the new book opens are not just Clinton’s. A few nights before meeting with her, I was at dinner with a political professional who worked on her 2008 campaign. I mentioned that I was going to interview Clinton, and sought his advice about what I should ask. He put down his fork and scowled. 'Ask her why she blew the biggest slam dunk in the history of fucking American politics!' he said.Hillary Clinton remains determined to show us why she is the one candidate who could have lost to the lunatic in the White House.
But maybe we should give the corporatist Dems just one more chance?
