Congratulations Senator Clinton

You’re a wonderful person:

Clinton congratulated Obama and said she looks forward to continuing to campaign with him in Pennsylvania and the other 16 states or territories that still need to hold contests. But she also used the stage to critique her opponent. “When the phone rings at 3 a.m. at the White House, there’s no time for speeches,” she said.

Charming.  Months and months more of this shit. Does anyone know if John Hodgman picked up any extra forms?  He lives in my neighborhood.

I think Hodgman’s point about the Clintons’ painting Obama supporters as latte-swilling limo liberals is dead on. I saw a clip the other day of some guy warming up an Ohio crowd before a Clinton speech, and he was yammering on and on about Birkenstock-wearing hippie freaks, etc. It worked. For now.

Betty, that was some union guy, can’t recall his name right now, but, yeah, for all of the yammering I hear (read) from Hillshills about how Obama can’t win w/out Hillary’s supporters, the same works in reverse, and the Clinton campaign’s Republican-lite (and not so lite) scorched earth tactics and the Hillshill’s teeth-gring-inducing chiding is turning off a lot of old school folks like me who (wisely) think the party needs a huge kick in the ass and, I guarantee, a lot of the newly-minted voters who are looking around this morning wondering why they’re even bothering.

This concludes this morning’s rambling, run-on sentence.

Man, her campaign just doesn’t get the concept of the snappy tagline, do they?  Or, I should say, they’re just not very effective at the ‘snappy’ part.
