I am reminded of the Profumo Affair in Britain. Government official John Profumo was accused of consorting with prostitutes (who also consorted with Soviet officials, making this a concern of national security).

One of the prostitutes (Mandy Rhys-Davies) was brought into court and questioned by an attorney. The attorney tried to dismiss her claims out-of hand, stating: "Mr. Profumo says that he has never met you."

She replied: "Well, he would say that, wouldn't he?"

Hillary claims she is being persecuted by the FBI? Well, she would say that, wouldn't she? But the fact is that they have abundant reasons to investigate her. No one who is paying attention would dismiss this out-of-hand. She's screwed in the court of public opinion.

I think that’s entirely correct. And bizarre.

But it took the seamy stuff to make it so. If Weiner weren’t involved, this would be another non-headline. But with Weiner, the media can’t get enough, and the public can’t ignore it.

It’s sort of bizarre. But in the end...just.

I think she might lose. And I haven’t felt that since mid-September.
