Kind of creepy given the subject matter. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, the impulse to rant has passed; now I'm just extremely weirded out. <BR/><BR/>Briefly: I get how this campaign has been extremely exhausting for the candidates. I get how people mis-speak when they're exhausted. I get how HRC was trying to make a historical point (even though her history wasn't entirely accurate) in order to shore up her slim-to-none chances of getting the nomination.<BR/><BR/>What I don't get is why the idea of "assassination" came up at all. Even if you're tired, and even if you've decided to mention RFK as an instance of a candidate who was running late in a given primary season -- what does assassination *really* have to do with that particular subject? It's relevant to his biography, yes, but how is it relevant to the notion of a primary that runs into June?Andrew Durkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11471871547839907538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326339.post-6595829803033768152008-05-24T17:55:00.000-07:002008-05-24T17:55:00.000-07:00I think Olbermann already made your rant for you.I think <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CtbsL_SVqo" REL="nofollow">Olbermann already made your rant for you</A>.DJAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12435473070510590935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326339.post-89625479689388676932008-05-24T15:26:00.000-07:002008-05-24T15:26:00.000-07:00C'mon bring it!
