A draft of a concession speech being readied by the Clinton campaign has been obtained by this writer, the speech being held by the campaign for possible later use.

The more Hillary Clinton touts her time in the White House as being co-joined with the leader of the free world, the closer history pulls her to a vortex of questions about judgment, denial, cover-up, and convenient - maybe cynical - acquiescence.

My point is this: in the spate of gustatory articles about all the current presidential hopefuls, only Clinton's diet and eating habits are dissected to the point of daily calorie tallies.

When Ferraro was named the Vice-Presidential candidate in 1984, the national reaction was: "Geraldine Who"? Does anyone really believe that this Democratic Party water-carrier was put on a national ticket for anything other than her lack of a Y chromosome?

Did Geraldine mean that Barack is lucky to be black at this point in our nation's history because we feel so guilty about our treatment of African American that we will vote for him?

It's even more important now to consider that George W. Bush isn't just McCain's paradigm for so-called "national security"; he also provides a template for abuse of power.
Andy Borowitz | Posted 03.08.2008 | Politics
It's a genius strategy: Democrats, forced to choose between Hillary and Barack, don't need to choose after all, since they both could run together - as long as Barack is at the bottom of the ticket, of course.

I don't know when Hillary Clinton and her advisors started channeling Karl Rove, but it's happened and it's ugly.

We are watching a global case of bad politics in action. At the tip of the poor-sport spear is none other than Bill Clinton himself. He's taken his ever growing legacy and shoved it right into the toilet.

Americans truly worshipped the Kennedys, and now they're in the mood to canonize again. But charisma can be a chimera.

This presidential election is supposed to be historic, right? Yet, the fact that we could be months away from the first ever woman in the White House has been virtually ignored.

If Obama's words are somebody else's, and do not spring from his own inspirational story, then they become as irrelevant and hollow as a Super Bowl Budweiser feel-good commercial.

The Clintons seem to have nothing left to add to the national conversation other than to tell us that the conversation itself is beneath them.

When a story is featured at the Drudge Report, you always have to ask why, and ask what is the right wing's intent behind getting this story into circulation.
