Hillary Must Go!

Over the last 8 years there has been no end to the lists of stupid things President George W. Bush has said. They range from comments on Iraq to comments on campaigning to comments on his personal life. Suffice it to say it makes Dan Quayle’s inability to spell the name of everybody’s favorite tuber look like small potatoes.

And yet, not even the best of the Bushisms can rival Hillary Clinton’s response to being asked by the Sioux Argus Leader editorial board why she is not listening to the calls for her to drop out of the race, "My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. You know I just, I don't understand it."

That’s right, she isn’t dropping out because there’s always that possibility that Obama will be assassinated and then, won’t we be glad she stayed in?

Of course, she has apologized. Her exact words were, "I regret that if my referencing that moment of trauma for our entire nation and in particular the Kennedy family was in any way offensive. I certainly had no intention of that whatsoever."

So, the only question I am left with is, what exactly was her intention? How is it that one can non-offensively use the assassination of a past Presidential Candidate to point out that a current Presidential Candidate may suffer a similar fate?

The fact of the matter is that if Hillary Clinton was simply trying to reference past primaries that have come down to the last couple of months then she could have talked about Carter or Roosevelt. To have had the thoughtlessness and bad taste to talk about Bobby Kennedy’s assassination as anything other then a horrible moment in American history is so despicable and offensive as to be the final point in proving that Hillary Clinton is neither mature enough nor enough in touch with the American people to make her at all a viable candidate for President.
