They are in the last throes, if you will.
As Vice President Cheney knows, such predictions can be perilous. Still, there was no mistaking a certain flailing, a lashing-out, as two Clinton advisers sat down for a bacon-and-eggs session yesterday at the St. Regis Hotel.
The Christian Science Monitor had assembled the ¿minences grises of the Washington press corps -- among them David Broder of The Post, Maureen Dowd of the New York Times and columnist Mark Shields -- for what turned out to be a fascinating tour of an alternate universe.
First came Harold Ickes, who gave a presentation about Hillary Rodham Clinton's prospects that severed all ties with reality. "We're on the way to locking this nomination down," he said of a candidate who appears, if anything, headed in the other direction.
But before the breakfast crowd had a chance to digest that, they were served another, stranger course by Clinton campaign spokesman Phil Singer. Asked about an accusation on the Drudge Report that Clinton staffers had circulated a photo of Barack Obama wearing Somali tribal dress, Singer let 'er rip.
"I find it interesting that in a room of such esteemed journalists that Mr. Drudge has become your respected assignment editor," he lectured. "I find it to be a reflection of one of the problems that's gone on with the overall coverage of this campaign." He went on to chide the journalists for their "woefully inadequate" coverage of Obama, "a point that has been certainly backed up by the 'Saturday Night Live' skit that opened the show this past Saturday evening, which I would refer you all to."

The second guy from the left is Sid “Vicious” Blumenthal, who’ll be going on trial for drunk driving in Nashua, NH April 7.
Right... thanks. Livingston was the bar bouncer. Man oh man what a circus those folks ran.
Hey thanks. It’s been a while since I’ve seen the guy. I appreciate the mention.
A “Ship of Fools” BS-ing themselves. The real problem is Hill’s Campaign is affected with a hidden underground racism, no matter what color her Director is. You can smell it.
Carvile & Begala = kiss of death
I wonder if the Clintons have some kind of nuclear bomb to drop on Obama. She does not seem to me like she is quitting.
The things from Arkansas must be destroyed once and for all.
Sounds EXACTLY like something that Michael (the boss,) on "The Office" would say.
I'm just blown away in disbelief of this WHOLE article. Is this some kind of joke?
"Hillary has virtually wrapped up the nomination, the Hussein supporters are commiting suicide in their Mosques."
I thought Ickes was too busy on the moonbat lecture circuit telling everyone about the Lizard people-Trilateral Commission-Bilderberg nexus to do any campaigning.
My bad. Wrong Ickes.
Found these two parts interesting...
“When Time’s Jay Newton-Small inquired about the Obama photo on Drudge, Singer used the occasion to complain about the press’s failure to examine Obama’s ties to violent radicals who were part of the Weathermen of the 1960s. “As far as I can tell, there was absolutely no follow-up on the part of the Obama traveling press corps,” he said.
Even Broder, asking about why Clinton had abandoned the North American Free Trade Agreement, was informed by Singer that “elections are about the future.””
Nice double standard.
Bash the press for failing to look into O’s ties to things in the 60’s, but can’t talk about NAFTA because “elections are about the future.”
Hmm...
WOW .. bizzarro world. They’ve really
gone over the edge in their desperation.
Never thought I’d see the day.
And this guy is going to be THE most
miserable dude living.

Bill Slips While Stumping for Hillary ~ “If You Elect Me”
http://www.breitbart.tv/?p=53014
~~PING!
It would have been sooooo wonderful if one of these MSM hacks had arranged for the process server to come to the little meeting — THAT would have made for a great news story!! Not that any Demagogue MSM hacks would really like to helpt the process along, but it would have been most newsworthy to report on Shrillary’s shrieks and wails as she realized the could not escape being served with the subpoena......
HA HA.... what a bozo — he really did say “If you elect ME.....”
That should be on the 6:00 news everywhere, and all over the internet, but of course MSM hacks will try to ignore it.
He really DOES think he will be the co-President!!!!
Unreal, isn’t it? Karma, I love you.
This total Clinton team implosion is
just breathtaking .. and I’m sure it’s
not over, especially with Ickes making
brazen threats about the convention.
That’s where I think there could be
blood in the streets. They won’t go
down pretty.

Ickes has new love for superdelegates

“There will be some hurt feelings initially,” Ickes said. “But in a very tight election, Barack Obama will swing in behind Hillary Clinton and black people will vote for her and she will be able to bring in Hispanic voters also.”
(Ickes has served on the Democratic National Committee and on its powerful Rules and Bylaws Committee for years and is a consummate party insider.)
