Olbermann fairly chewed the scenery in his Special Comment last night, spitting and frothing, and going on and on and on and on about how Hillary Clinton had been forgiven every step of the way for her evil ways but this, oh God this, was going too far! She wants Obama dead! Cue clip of Bobby in the California hotel.

Gene Robinson pondered the Clinton entrails and pronounced that she had a murderous heart.  He and his cohorts wondered if she meant to say it or not.  If she meant to say it she was definitely evil. She meant to say it.

David Gregory and panel ripped apart her apology, threw it to the wind, stomped her to the ground, pronounced her dead.  Harwood came to her defense saying that she was a good and decent person who would never want to see Obama assassinated.  Eyes rolled at MSNBC.  This was better than sitting there bloviating about who was going to be Obama's VP pick. Russert is licking his lips for his Sunday show.  His Gotcha Research Dept. is in full swing.

Bobby Kennedy, Jr. is a close personal friend and adviser to Hillary Clinton.  His take on this brouhaha would be illuminating. But baring Bobby Jr. coming forward I will weigh in here.

Hillary Clinton is exhausted.  Her campaign reeks of stress and strife and she is campaigning poorly because of it.   She lacks discipline which means she must be taking direction from the leader in the lack of discipline,  Bill Clinton.   She appears desperate and incautious.  Clinton, in my opinion, does not deserve the scorn and contempt heaped on her from all corners.   She made mistakes, no question.  But she was also a magnate for withering sexism which she was unwilling to face head on.  On the one hand she was the result of women fighting long and hard to be taken seriously and on the other hand she helped set feminism back by not dealing straight up with the sexism.

When she started this campaign she proudly pointed to her thick skin.  She could take anything thrown at her, she told us. That hasn't been at all true and I think that is the story here.   If I separate her gaffes from the severe and relentless sexism aimed at her I see how intertwined they became.  She made a gaffe in her reference to Bobby Kennedy and many pundits, some with brains, are saying she wants Obama dead.  They believe that about her, will say it over and over, and we now have a sticky.  She cannot recover from gaffes because she never could deal with the antipathy towards her, from the sexism aimed at her,  and from the pervasive thinking that race trumps gender.  She can't deal with the fact that many liberals see the chance to change the conversation about race embodied in Barack Obama.  Changing the national conversation about sexism will have to wait.  Can't multitask.

Now Hillary Clinton is like a bull in a china shop, wide eyed, careening around, and frightening the patrons.   She won't leave so everyone is yelling for the DNC Swat Team -- the Superdelegates -- to come in, taser her, and save the party.  We will lose if she keeps this up!  Truth be told, John McCain is a poor candidate.  If Barack Obama can't beat him in the general election his loss cannot be attributed to Hillary Clinton.

I want Hillary Clinton to drop out because she has been made radioactive and her continued presence is helping to set the goals of feminist back by decades.  We will not see another serious woman candidate for President in my lifetime.  We have a mere eight female Governors and our representation in Congress in woeful.  Even though I do not support Hillary Clinton it is painful to watch her gaffes described as disgraces.

I am reminded of the Clarence Thomas hearings.  It was a high tech lynching, Thomas said.  There is that race card.  That works every time with guilty liberals.  The lynching, though, was of Anita Hill.  She was not taken seriously by the Senate Committee.  Biden was ruthless.  Spector was viscious.  Kennedy sat in silence, never coming to Hill's defence.  Race trumped gender then.   Hill was disposable then and Hill is disposable now.
