I Can Forgive You This
Even though I posted Keith Olbermann’s condemnation of Hillary Clinton’s unfortunate comments regarding the continuing of the Democratic Presidential campaign, I do not agree with him. I understand his position but I do not share his fury. Senator Clinton has done a great many things during this campaign to raise my ire, but this isn’t one of them. I simply cannot believe that she is so evil that she would basically say, “I’m staying in this campaign because Barack Obama might get assassinated,”. I think she was pulling up a time frame and did it poorly. She was basically saying, “Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June of 1968. You see, primaries run until June!” A cringe worthy historical reference but I think it’s getting blown out of proportion. Perhaps its the straw that breaking the camel’s back. Perhaps her unwillingness to conceded defeat and the lengths to which she’s gone to stave off that defeat have finally broken under this one comment.
But it doesn’t bother me because I don’t believe that’s what’s in Senator Clinton’s heart. I believe her willingness to win at all costs is, but not praying for that unspeakable evil upon her opponent. Check back with me in a little over a week to see if she’s able to seat Michigan and Florida as she tries to lawyer her way to a victory she didn’t earn. Then I’ll be pissed.
