IT’S FINALLY OVER


Hillary Rodham Clinton tonight will concede that Barack Obama has the delegates to secure the Democratic nomination, campaign officials said, effectively ending her bid to be the nation’s first female president.

Oh no wait we still have the general election. Well, at least we know that will end on the first Tuesday in November, right? I think that’s what happened the last time there was a presidential race with no incumbent.

Update: Hillary camp says it’s not true! Nevermind, this is never going to end!

West Virginia Votes Today! (For Clinton)

Today is yet another presidential primary, this time in West Virginia, and this Associated Press is in-freaking-credible. From the reporter’s “hillbillies” line to the woman who doesn’t like his middle name to the woman who is 100 percent honest and says she’s not voting for Obama because he’s black, this report is a grand slam.

Thanks, John

‘PW’ Editors Elsewhere

Oh, forgot to link this the other day: PW A&E editor Tara Murtha has a post on Comedy Central’s InDecision 2008 blog about her fantasy of a hetero-lesbian crush on Hillary Clinton. Which is odd, because I also have a hetero-lesbian crush on her. Er, wait.

Your Quote Of The Day

A friendly reader sends along this quote he heard on the Washington Post’s politics podcast from Hillary Clinton:

“I really think this is one of the defining issues in this campaign between me and my opponent. Now unfortunately, he doesn’t cover everyone. And he is attacking me with a new ad that he has put up because I do cover everyone with more misleading information.”

Mhmm. Indeed you do, Ms. Clinton. Indeed you do.

Hillary: Comfortable In The Kitchen!

Ha ha, someone told Hillary Clinton she’s comfortable in the kitchen! Was it noted America-hater Barack Obama? Clinton-lover/radio host/sexist Howard Eskin? Surely a comment so evil could only have been said by Adolf Hitler himself.

Nope, it was said by none other than Hillary Clinton!

Clinton also brought up this week’s Philadelphia debate without naming her rival, Sen. Barack Obama. She said her opponent complained about some hard questioning by the moderators, but said that it was nothing compared to her own eight years in the White House as first lady. She quoted Harry Truman: “If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.” She added that she’s comfortable in that “kitchen.”

When Hillary Clinton is president, such sexist comments will be outlawed.

Everyone Is Now Bitter At Hillary

So Hillary Clinton is still going on and on about that “people are bitter” comment Barack Obama made, and now, look, people are getting tired of it! “Noooooo,” they scream. But she will probably keep talking about it until John McCain is president.

Real Change, With Low Carbs

Who the hell knew Bob Casey could talk? The guy who let Rick Santorum simply defeat himself in the 2006 election apparently can talk, and he’s telling you to vote for Barack Obama. Why? Not just change, but real change. Really!

Obama Just Loves Steel Workers

Hey, here’s Barack Obama’s new ad. If you’re like me, the more you see Barack Obama’s ads, the less you like him. This ad opens with the line: “I moved to Chicago to help workers whose lives were torn apart when steel plants like this one left town.” Really? Did you hover on the power of hope and change to get to Chicago just to help stranger steelworkers?

Good thing Hillary Clinton’s ads are just as unintentionally loathesome and Walnuts! McCain is, well, Walnuts! McCain.

Hillary’s New Hilarious Parody Ad

Hillary Clinton just released her new Pennsylvania ad like 10 seconds ago; it’s a remake of her 3 a.m. ad, which asked what presidential candidate you’d want answering the phone during a crisis at 3 a.m.

It apparently worked so well Clinton is now re-running the ad in Pennsylvania, only this time it’s a 3 a.m. phone call about the economy! It’s pretty much a complete parody of the original ad — only it’s actually funny, a first in Internet parody video history. Oh, yeah, and she’s serious about answering that 3 a.m. economic crisis phone call. WHO FORGOT TO LOCK THE STOCK MARKET???

Oh, and Barack Obama got into a fight with an “eBay guy” today in Philly. If I want a candidate to tell off somebody… hmm. It was Walnuts McCain in a cinch, I though, but Obama showed me something today. Keep it up, Barry!
