NOW he gets it

The left-wing media has been in the tank for B. Hussein Obama for months now but they have so far refrained from giving Hillary Clinton the exact same kind of treatment that she would get if she was a conservative Republican - until now.

In a Daily News column entitled Hillary Clinton's colossal blunder simply the last straw an overwrought leftist named Michael Goodwin has this to say:

SICK. Disgusting. And yet revealing. Hillary Clinton is staying in the race in the event some nut kills Barack Obama.

It could happen, but what definitely has happened is that Clinton has killed her own chances of being vice president. She doesn't deserve to be elected dog catcher anywhere now.

Her shocking comment to a South Dakota newspaper might qualify as the dumbest thing ever said in American politics.

Her lame explanation that she brought up the 1968 assassination of Robert Kennedy because his brother Ted's illness was on her mind doesn't cut it. Not even close.

We have seen an X-ray of a very dark soul. One consumed by raw ambition to where the possible assassination of an opponent is something to ponder in a strategic way. Otherwise, why is murder on her mind?

It's like Tanya Harding's kneecapping has come to politics. Only the senator from New York has more lethal fantasies than that nutty skater.

We could have seen it coming, if only we had realized Clinton's thinking could be so cold. She has grown increasingly wild in her imagery lately, invoking everything from slavery to the political killings in Zimbabwe in making her argument for the Florida and Michigan delegations. She claimed to be the victim of sexism, despite winning the votes of white men.

But none of it was moving the nomination needle, with Obama, despite recent dents, still on course to be the victor.

So she kept digging deeper, looking for the magic button. Instead, she pushed the eject button, lifting herself right out of consideration.

Giving voice to such a vile thought is all the more horrible because fears Obama would be killed have been an undercurrent to his astonishing rise. Republican Mike Huckabee made a stupid joke about it recently. Many black Americans have talked of it, reflecting their assumption that racists would never tolerate a black President and that Obama would be taken from them.

Clinton has now fed that fear. She needs a very long vacation. And we need one from her.

Say good night, Hillary. And go away.

"We could have seen it coming, if only we had realized Clinton's thinking could be so cold." This has to qualify as one of the stupidest statements of this entire campaign season. Where has Mr. Goodwin been since 1992?

Has Mr. Goodwin forgotten the Travel Office scandal where Mrs. Clinton fired some low level White House employees in order to give their jobs to some of her friends and then attempted to have those low level employees framed for felonies and sent to federal prison?

Has Mr. Goodwin forgotten what Chelsea Clinton (who would have only been 12 or 13 at the time) said to a pair of Secret Service agents who attempted to scold her for referring to the Secret Service bodyguards as "personal trained pigs"? Her response was "That's what my parents call you all the time".

Has Mr. Goodwin forgotten Vince Foster?

Has Mr. Goodwin forgotten what Mrs. Clinton said to an Arkansas state trooper who was part of the governor's security detail after he wished her a "good morning"? Her response was “F*ck off! It’s enough that I have to see you sh*t-kickers every day. I’m not going to talk to you, too. Just do your g*dd*mn job and keep your mouth shut.”

Has Mr. Goodwin forgotten that White House staff (maids, janitors, waiters and so on) were forbidden to look Mrs. Clinton in the eye?

These incidents are only a representative sample of the public record of the "real" Mrs. Hillary Clinton. All of this information has been floating around for years, some of it for more than a decade. So, I repeat, where has Michael Goodwin been all these years.

Of course the answer is that while Hillary Clinton was Bill Clinton's first lady and then Democrat Senator from New York and then presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Mr. Goodwin, as a faithful member of the left-wing lapdog mainstream media, was far too busy carrying Mrs. Clinton's water to criticize her or do anything like a real piece of investigative journalism into her true character and fitness to hold a position of public trust.

It is only now that Mr. Goodwin and the other left-wing lickspittles have a new receptacle for their fawning sycophancy that they can be bothered to view Mrs. Clinton as she actually is.

Not that I don't enjoy seeing Hillary Clinton exposed, laid bare, revealed [download 143 gigabytes of Japanese porn to purge the mental picture] shown for what she really is in her deepest soul [there that doesn't dredge up any image]. But I have very little respect for those like Goodwin who would still be sipping the Hillary kool-aid if she were ahead in pledged delegates.
