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."

That book should be a good read.
Thanks for the ping...veeeeery in-ter-es-ting.
Note my temporary tagline, Senator. :^)

Second guy is Sidney Blumenthal.
We may poll Vince Foster, Ron Brown, and Jim McDougal as to her recognition of any concept of limits in political conflict.
Love it.
Let the House of Clinton fall.
Bury the beeotch.
Snakehead and Forehead could use a case of Head On. Hill’s now throwing White House place settings.
Thanks for the ping
Yes, there is a reason for the smear of Cheney. Dana Milbank is a smear mongering jerk who hates Bush, hates Cheney, and hates Republicans. The one thing you can take out of this article is that Milbank is an Obama supporter and he better hope that Klinton loses the primary and general; because his days of covering the WH and flying around on AF1 are done. Why Bush does not throw this guy off the press roster shows you how gracious he is.
Thanks Phil.
Even the Liberal Donkeycrats have blown a gasket vis a vis Hillary.
One of them said:
"This is why Hillary is losing. She is surrounded by A$$holes."
Buuuuuummmp !!!
Loved the answer aboput how Hillie will release her tax returns when she the nominee. She told the voters of NYS the same thing when she ran for the Senate in 2000, that she’d release them after the primary. We’re still waiting....
It isn’t that Obama is dressed like a Muslim. He’s dressed like a girl. That photo is as silly as Dukakis in a tank.
To think that a comedy show had to nerve to do a comedy skit on Hillary!!!! It must be a VLWC now!
Obama visited the home of some weathermen in 1995. Wasn’t Bernadine Dohrn on the lam at the time? Obama was a seven year old in 1968, so I doubt he was directly involved in their deeds.

Hillary’s involvement with the Black Panthers during their trial in CT seems to be a nonstarter. Nobody cares.
