Dowd on Clinton

Here's a quote from Maureen Dowd's column in today's NYTimes, which pretty much sums up how I feel:

"There was a poignancy about the moment, seeing Hillary crack with exhaustion from decades of yearning to be the principal rather than the plus-one. But there was a whiff of Nixonian self-pity about her choking up. What was moving her so deeply was her recognition that the country was failing to grasp how much it needs her. In a weirdly narcissistic way, she was crying for us. But it was grimly typical of her that what finally made her break down was the prospect of losing."

Nicely put. Now make me a chicken pot pie.

Yes, yes. And iron my shirt.

No! What was "moving" her was the prospect that her cold-ass persona was gonna screw her in the primary, like it did in the caucus.

Shit was staged staged staged!
