Bob McCarty Writes

Hillary Clinton ignited a firestorm of controversy yesterday when she explained why she was staying in the Democrat presidential race and dismissing calls to drop out:

“My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. I don’t understand it.” — Hillary Clinton (Hillary Raises Assassination Issue, New York Post, May 23, 2008)

While reporters and pundits alike have had a field day writing about the former first lady’s bold statement, I found the most-humorous coverage in a post by comedian Stephen Kruizer under the headline, Holy Vince Foster, Batman! Hillary Plays the Death Card. Here’s an excerpt in which he explains how bad things happen to men who annoy Hillary Clinton:

Vince Foster got “suicided”. Bill has to stay married to her. Rudy Giuliani got prostate cancer that went away after he dropped out of the Senate race and Hillary won. Teddy Kennedy, anyone? Bill Richardson probably has a permanent twitch now and feels like he’s living in a Stephen King novel. I’ve also been warning the shiny, happy puppy Obama supporters to keep one eye open and firmly affixed on the Pantsuit. He’s a marked man as long as Her Relentlessness is breathing. Wearily defending her reasons for hanging around like herpes, Mrs. Clinton gave her most jaw dropping rationale yet: her husband didn’t clinch until June and, hey, Bobby Kennedy wasn’t assassinated until June. That’s right, why quit when your opponent might get shot? The Madame isn’t going to be able to hide behind the “out of context” excuse on this one.
