CUSTOMER: "Look, matey, I know a dead parrot when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now."
PET-SHOP OWNER: "No, no he's not dead, he's -- he's resting! Remarkable bird, the Norwegian blue, isn't it, aye? Beautiful plumage!"
-- From "Monty Python's Flying Circus"
11:45 a.m., Melrose Hotel, Foggy Bottom: It's Day 7 of the Clinton Campaign Death Watch -- a full week since the official arbiter of the Democratic primary, Tim Russert, declared the campaign over and Barack Obama the nominee. Hillary Clinton's advisers continue to insist that the candidate's prospects are very much alive, but the press isn't buying it. Exhibit A: There are two press buses waiting at the hotel here for Clinton's trip to her victory rally in West Virginia, but the entire press contingent doesn't quite fill one. It isn't until the entourage arrives at Dulles Airport that Clinton aides learn that the second bus is still idling, empty, at the hotel.
If there is importance in the results of the primary in West Virginia, the press corps isn't letting on . . .
CUSTOMER: "That parrot is definitely deceased, and when I purchased it not half an hour ago, you assured me that its total lack of movement was due to it being tired and shagged out following a prolonged squawk."
PET-SHOP OWNER: "Well, he's, he's, ah, probably pining for the fiords."

It’s a power thing. She can’t give up the quest for power.
You beat me to it.
Monty Python's Holy Grail.
It's the middle ages and the day's bodies are being collected in a village. A cart with several bodies slowly moves through the village.
"Bring out your dead. Bring out your dead," cries the man with the cart
A man carrying an old man over his shoulders emerges from a hut.
The old man is saying, "I'm not dead. I'm not dead."
"He's not dead yet," says the cart man.
"Yes he is," says the man with the old man on his shoulders
[I forgot the dialog here; but the cart man, first looking in one direction and then the other, whacks the old man in the head, the young man dumps the old man in the cart and the cart moves on.]
Is the cart man the MSM?
Or is the whole scene Hillary Kare's solution to the Social Security mess? Ya know, you're good as dead, that unhealthy life style that you lived! Nothing for you.. WHACK! Just like Britain's NHS if I am to take the several news items as representative.
She intends to steal the nomination, there’s no other “motivation” to explain.
