Adding Insult to Injury

Not content to let her quasi-apology rest and allow the matter to fade away, the Clinton camp now BLAMES - - - wait for it - - - the OBAMA CAMP for fanning the flames of controvery. For reading things into to her remarks that are unthinkable. Certainly, the top of the campaign - Obama/Axelrod - are content to take her at her word. But supporters are not, and some are pointing others to Keith Olbermann's excellent "special comment" from last Friday.

Hopefully the whole sorry episode proves just how unfit for the presidency she is - not just to us, but to the wimpy superdelegates that remain "uncommitted." And all this johnny-come-lately blame sexism thing. Hey - I'm a middle-aged white woman who does not hate my gender - I just have a very strong dislike to Hillary as a person. Her lies, her deceitfulness, her spin-machine, her willingness to do anything to win, her selfishness - men and women pursuing power have shared in these traits equally in the past, perhaps the women just not as often. Thanks, Hillary, for proving that women, in that pursuit of power, can be just as nasty and underhanded as the men.
