Sen. Clinton, and her campaign crew have, through their conduct of the primary season, taken self-interest to Olympian hieghts.

The days following the North Carolina, and Indiana primaries boded well for all democrats. Yes the Clinton folks had to suck up a bit of hard news, the writing on the wall was writ large; it's over. The Obama crew exhaled a huge 'aahhhhh' of relief. The major narratives of the long primary season had been told, and now only a nice ending was needed. The heroic struggle written with Obama's soaring notes of hope and aspiration could finally be meshed with the basso profundo of Hillary's grit and determination. Obama would be humble, Hillary would tame her rhetoric of divisiveness. All would be well!

Yeah..

Ive been in a funk for at least eight years. It all came to a head in 1999. Friends, I could not believe that the candidacy of George Walker Bush was being taken seriously by folks of seeming intelligence. It got me down. Your welcome to continue down with me after the jumpy thing.
