We disagree with Jeremiah Wright, who presumably at one point in his life said something like, “Nah, nah, nah … don’t God bless West Virginia, God damn West Virginia.”

No, because of West Virginia we are blessed with assertions like Hillary Clinton’s:

Implying that the party could lose in November if he is the nominee, Clinton told patrons of Tudor’s Biscuit World in Charleston: “I keep telling people, no Democrat has won the White House since 1916 without winning West Virginia.”

So the question is, how long has Hillary been telling this to people, and when she does, do they give her any meds?  Maybe she needs a rubber biscuit.

Peggy Noonan wonders of Hillary Clinton staying in the race to the Democrats’ detriment:

The question “Who will tell her, who can make her go?”

Of course, 34 years ago Barry Goldwater went to Richard Nixon telling him to vacate the White House (Goldwater: “Nixon should get his ass out of the White House—today!”)
Precedent for Hillary?  Consider that during the 1964 presidential campaign, Hillary was a Goldwater Girl.

As it were, with a Clinton.

Michael Silence reports:

Memphis Commercial Appeal’s Blake Fontenay: According to U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Memphis, she may be starting to more closely resemble another famous movie character: The psycho lady played by Glenn Close in “Fatal Attraction.”

When asked about whether Clinton should drop out of the race on Fox 13’s “Good Morning Memphis” program today, Cohen said: “Glenn Close should have stayed in that tub.”

Man, they really do eat their own.

At least they’re not eating boiled rabbit.

Video here, with the remark about two-thirds of the way in.

As in, pro-defense Eisenhower Democrats?

Washington Post:

Clinton is expected to win the state by a hefty margin. Yesterday, she repeatedly referred to her appeal among “hardworking Americans,” including “Catholic voters, Hispanic voters, blue-collar voters and seniors — the kind of people who Senator McCain will be fighting for in the general election.” She did not repeat the term “white voters,” which she used in a USA Today interview published yesterday.

Can’t help but think of Hillary Clinton’s chances in this late primary state when we remember that it was this date in 1973 that militant American Indians who’d held the South Dakota hamlet of Wounded Knee for ten weeks surrendered to U.S. Marshals.

…. for over reliance on the personal pronoun.

Check out this nugget from her speech at the DC Omni last night:

“I’ve been counted out more than once. But thanks to all of you I’ve come back,” Clinton said, earning a thunderous, extended ovation. She later added, “When I was counted out in New Hampshire, it was the women of New Hampshire who came back and said, ‘No, she’s not finished yet.’ When I was counted out before Super Tuesday it was women from California to Massachusetts who came and said ‘No, we’re not finished yet.’ When I was counted out before Ohio, before Indiana, we have always come back.”

Five citations of “I” in a very short span. Which makes you wonder, is her campaign about America, or her?

A commenter notes in a below post:

The towns of Cross Lanes, Nitro, and Poca are all near Charleston WV. Poca’s high school sports teams are called the Dots. I’m not making it up.

Interestingly, the school mascot bears an uncanny resemblance to a caged-up Mark Penn.

David Broder today:

But if Obama contributed to the Wright fiasco through his hesitancy to break with him, Clinton was worse. She flooded North Carolina and Indiana with phoniness — playing a drag version of Dennis Kucinich, a beer-drinking populist, not the honors graduate of Wellesley College and Yale Law School that she is.

Broder’s tsk-tsk’ing aside … Hillary Clinton playing a drag version of Kucinich?  Awesome!  Count us in!

Remember: Drag works quite well for politicians.  Just ask Rudy Giuliani.

Comes word that Hillary Clinton sorely needs cash.

Jake Tapper:

Sen. Clinton’s total $11.425 million in loans to her campaign have now exceeded the $10 million she earned for her book — Clinton had made a point of saying her January $5 million was her money.

So let’s think creatively.  Hillary needs money.  She’s in West Virginia.  So why not simply ask West Virginia’s sugar daddy Sen. Robert Byrd (D-$) for the dough?

The Swamp nails it:

… the first party honcho to tip his hand following Tuesday primaries that boosted Obama signed up with … Hillary Clinton.

A cynic might note that in announcing his support for Clinton, Rep. Heath Shuler of North Carolina was aping his ill-fated pro football career — joining the roster of a losing team.

That’s hardly cynicism, though.  That’s Redskins reality.
