It's Not Going to Stop Till You Wise Up, No, It's Not Going to Stop, So Just ... Give Up

Last night was a good night, thanks to North Carolina and Indiana voters. With strong results in Kentucky and West Virginia in the next two weeks, it seems like Obama might be able to get the Supers to start sacking up and finally making some decisions, so the party can stop tearing itself apart from within.

Undaunted by yet another disappointing showing at the polls (and unwilling to stop tearing the party apart from within), Hillary Clinton remains committed to beating a dead horse, giving us the following display of delusion from her "victory speech" in Indiana, where she picked up three more delegates than did Obama (who outgained her by 20 in North Carolina):

"I believe that Americans need a champion in their corners," she said at a rally in Indianapolis. "For too long we've had a president who has stood up and spoken out for the wealthy and the well-connected, but I don't think that's what Americans need."

Because nothing says opposite of wealthy and well-connected like a woman who had an income of $110 million over the last 7 years, and is the wife of a former president.

This is stunning news, and if you're hearing this for the first time here, I would strongly reconsider where you turn for up to the minute news (along with maybe a few other life choices), but New York Governor Elliot Spitzer has been linked to a prostitution ring!! I was standing in line at the bank when I saw it on CNN, and my first thought was, "Isn't he a Hillary supporter? Maybe there will be some level of fallout for her campaign over this."

The irony is literally (not literally) dripping off of this situation, considering the following:

In one such case in 2004, Mr. Spitzer spoke with revulsion and anger after announcing the arrest of 16 people for operating a high-end prostitution ring out of Staten Island.

”This was a sophisticated and lucrative operation with
a multitiered management structure,” Mr. Spitzer said at the time. ”It was,
however, nothing more than a prostitution ring.”

Not to be outdone, Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour has admitted to being intimately involved with an order of onion rings.
