Yesterday we suggested this might happen

Ben Smith cited that in his Politico Remainders round-up.

Today, our young whipper-snapper man-on-the-scene reports in again:

“On a regular conference call this morning of flacks for DC-based progressive groups, someone proposed the idea of organizing daily protests outside Clinton campaign senior advisor Harold Ickes’ Georgetown home as a way to undermine the Ickes-led ’suicide bombing’ of the DNC delegate rules.

“After some discussion, the idea was tabled for next week’s call, pending the outcome of this weekend’s DNC meeting.”

Meantime, in virtual reality land, looks like the photoshop cops had to be called in to maintain calm outside Ickes’ home.

Let’s pray no one gets arrested and sent to a photoshop jail.

MOUNT RUSHMORE, S.D. - Hillary Rodham Clinton, her future far from carved in stone, paid a visit to the famed Mount Rushmore monument Wednesday.

Campaigning in South Dakota before the state’s June 3 Democratic presidential primary, Clinton bundled up against chilly temperatures to walk through the monument and listen as a national park ranger described the history of the mountainside chiseled with the visages of Presidents George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson and Theodore Roosevelt.

Trailing rival Barack Obama among delegates with just three primaries left in the calendar, Clinton has little chance of securing the nomination. Perhaps mindful of the odds, the former first lady carefully avoided questions about whether she or former President Clinton might be added to the monument one day.

“Why don’t you go learn something about the monument?” she told reporters, laughing.

Learn something about the monument, indeed.  It was Clinton’s first visit to Mount Rushmore since John Edwards was added.

A young whipper-snapper send this note:

Who could forget the weeks of protests outside the Vice President’s residence after the 2000 presidential elections?

Or the months of protests in 1985 outside the South African Embassy on Massachusetts Avenue, which prompted the US government to pressure the South African government to end apartheid.

Both are examples of how civil disobedience changed the course of history, or at least how it was seen and remembered by millions on TV.

So imagine what it will be like for Clinton senior advisor Harold Ickes if he succeeds in overturning the Democratic nomination results, beginning with this weekend’s DNC Rules & Bylaws meeting.

The scene: outside Ickes’ residence in Georgetown.

The time: every evening around 5 p.m., beginning, say, next week or so.

The players: hundreds of young sign-carrying Washington interns, organized by MoveOn.org perhaps, diligently and emphatically protesting Harold Ickes’ attempt to steal the Democratic nomination on behalf of Hillary Clinton.

Stay tuned to your favorite cable television station.

With every DC insider scrambling to get their hands on former Bush White House press secretary Scott McClellan’s new book, “What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and What’s Wrong with Washington,” here’s an exclusive look at current Hillary Clinton campaign communications director Howard Wolfson’s forthcoming tell-all …

If you saw HBO’s “Recount” over the weekend, you might have laughed at this great scene featuring Laura Dern as Katherine Harris.

Focus your attention specifically on his hilarious Harris line:

“I have been reading my Bible quite a bit here lately, And I have been feeling this unusually strong kinship with Queen Esther. If you recall, Queen Esther, she was willing to sacrifice herself to save the lovely Jewish people.”

If that line is any guide, whom else might Harris have had a kinship with? Would you believe Hillary Clinton?

Afraid so. Here’s Clinton last month:

“… the recent Purim holiday for Jews raised the question of Esther. And I have been — ever since I was a little girl — a great admirer of Esther. And I used to ask that that be read to me over and over again, because there weren’t too many models of women who had the opportunity to make a decision, to take a chance, a risk that, you know, was very courageous.”

Harris and Clinton both inspired by Esther … Yup, that’s the whole megillah.

Thank goodness for grandparents — how else would Barack Obama connect to audiences?

Barack Obama on Memorial Day:

“I speak to you today with deep humility. My grandfather marched in Patton’s Army, but I cannot know what it is to walk into battle like so many of you. My grandmother worked on a bomber assembly line, but I cannot know what it is for a family to sacrifice like so many of yours have.”

Of course, you’re already familiar with Obama’s grandmother’s body of work:

“I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community.  I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother – a woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe..”

For a kinder, gentler view of a candidate’s grandparent, let’s reference Hillary Clinton:

“Some of you know that my grandfather came to Scranton when he was 3 years old,” she said, recalling that he went to work in a local lace mill when he was 11 years old, spending his entire lifetime working in the mill. She remembered that before winning a football scholarship to Penn State, her grandfather played in the “Dream Game,” an annual all-star contest that pits players from Scranton high schools against those from surrounding communities.

So let’s raise a toast to legendary grandparents everywhere.  Prune juice, anyone?

Not to be confused, of course, with John McCain’s tryout…

Since Hillary Clinton has introduced the memory of Robert F. Kennedy into the presidential campaign, it’s only fitting that we Redskins fans remember him, too.

After all, we are the football fans we’ve been waiting for.

American Idol winner David Cook today consoled the runner-up, Senator Hillary Clinton, who lost by roughly 12 million votes out of 95 million votes cast.

Clinton is disputing the results, however, since the phone systems in both Michigan and Florida failed to register any text messaging votes.

First there was Dana Milbank:

When last we caught up with our heroine, Hillary Clinton’s plight was compared to the Monty Python routine in which a pet-shop owner insists that a dead parrot is still alive. Clinton loyalists disputed the comparison, while some scholars searched the literature and proposed a different Pythonian model: the Black Knight, who valiantly defends his bridge after losing all four of his limbs.
