Could you just give me a straight answer? Like a simple yes or no? Please don't try to squirm your way out of it. You still won't answer? Aggghhh! Aggghhh! AGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!

One could forgive Jake Tapper if he felt like channeling his inner Sam Kinison on CNN's The Lead today while he was trying to get a simple answer from Hillary Clinton spokeswoman, Karen Finney, on the subject of Hillary's position on the TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership) trade bill in Congress. Tapper's very visible exasperation with Finney's nonanswers were  completely understandable as she continued her evasive shuffle on the topic all through the interview.

Her plan is to stick with her short list of platitudes until she is coronated. She’ll get away with it unless she draws a serious primary opponent and one reason for this is not to draw one.

She’s going to be metaphorically hacksawed into little meatballs before the convention, and so damaged that, even should she win the nomination, she won’t be able to win the election.

If we didn’t all have jobs (other than retirees, but retirees often wonder when they ever had found time to work), creating havoc at every one of her appearances might drive her into a stroke.
