adj. Mournful, dismal, or gloomy, especially to an exaggerated or ludicrous degree.
A word I haven't used since college, probably, but the only one I can think of now. Will the Clintons please leave? Andrew Sullivan opines here and is pretty close to spot on, but it's not hard to do just that--meaning, not hard to report the very palpably obvious. Sullivan goes on to talk of McCain and Obama and how he looks very much forward to a McCain-Obama debate, as do I. But back to Hillarah (a constant theme), I think of the McCarthy hearings and the question directly posited him: "Have you no shame?" I wouldn't begin to compare Hillary Clinton to McCarthy, but I would ask her that same question.
Won more of the popular vote?! One gets a feeling that she is starting to believe her own bullshit. Caucus states, literally, don't count as part of the equation? She doesn't think that a single person in Michigan would have voted for Obama if he put his name on the ballot? She doesn't think the election dynamics would have changed a slight bit if they could both campaign in Florida? I've already said too much.
Her popular vote claim is not only very easily disputed and argued, one wonders what she intends to get out of it. It seems quite clear that she is all too willing to subvert the leading candidate of her party for personal gain/vindication. I truly believe that, at this moment, she hopes for a failure of the Obama presidency so she can say "I told you so."
It has to hurt. She had everything going for her until this uppity Negro inspired a movement and beat her--and narrowly at that, which makes it all the more bitter. But she is going out with such a lack of grace that she is actually staining everything both she and her husband worked for and accomplished. It didn't have to be this way. She made it come to this. Ugly. Vulgar. Arrogant to the point that it approaches the behavior of a sociopath. Leveraging racism, playing sexism, all to infuse doubt into the decision of voting for the leading candidate of her party.
Her actions and words suggest naked aggression on acid--or at least a lot of whiskey--and makes one wonder, does she love herself more than her party and her country? The answer has to be yes, which should not only disqualify her from office, but should give one pause and ask the question inapplicable to McCarthy: "Why are you running for the Presidency of the US?" I would like to hear the answer from her after a dose of sodium-penathol.
