She was talking about the Democratic campaigning historically not being over by now — that her husband previously “didn’t claim victory until after the California primary in June and Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June...” (while still campaigning).

If the Bosnia gaffe didn’t put a stake through the heart of this witch, I doubt that this stupid assassination remark will do it. Because once you hear her words in context, it’s really a tempest in a teapot.

I watched the video and it sounds worse when you hear her say it. Notice that you had to put the "while still campaigning" in there in parentheses to get people to see the correlation.

She was talking about campaigning, not assassinations, and she should have said "Bobby Kennedy was still running in June" instead of, "Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June".

"I watched the video and it sounds worse when you hear her say it."

Maybe, but not "a career-ender" -- which believe me, I would be rooting for!

I do think that the Bobby Kennedy assassination was a really bizarre thing to bring up out of nowhere -- and she could have said it better, but I do think that the fact that "Kennedy was still campaigning in June" is what she was referring to.

To turn the remark into the "threat to Obama" that not a few here alluded to, requires more gymnastics than even I can justify -- and that's going some!
