The Last Post on the Bugle

In what appears to be a desperate attempt to appeal to overworked Female Voters, Hillary Clinton became all teary-eyed in front of a bunch of flashing cameras this morning. I think the question of whether this was staged (it was) is utterly beside the point, the question is, will it be effective? Personally, I think this is another example of Hillary’s campaign thoroughly underestimating democratic voters. The cameras flashing on her face gives the whole affair the air of a Tonya Harding press conference. Unfortunately distasteful.

I am not going to say I knew this was going to happen, but I did write that it would. If you had been following this blog you wouldn’t be suprised:

“Much like the promqueen from the beforementioned 80s teen comedy, I see Hillary throwing an embarassing fit it if she doesn’t receive the nomination.”
