I'm just shaken. Speechless, having suspected all along but dare not write on my suspicions that's what the Clintons have been thinking...assassination and she picks up the spot. Crass thuggery.

When you think they can't stoop any lower.

There's no more room left in public life for the Clintons. This can't be mollified with an apology.  Who will call on her to step aside?

This is surely the nail in her coffin.

The question really is, who will get her to listen to those calls?

I'm afraid they may have to drag her out kicking and screaming. Which at this point is fine.

When you're up to your ass in alligators, it's hard to remember that your primary objective was to drain the swamp.

Whenever her online supporters say "but anything can happen between now and August" I've always wondered if that's what they were alluding to.

Sick, just sick.

Betcha....watch the video of the interview. It was effortless and not unrelated to the question. Her reason for remaining in- She's staying put and hoping.

And she's such a liar..."they wanted me out ever since Iowa...  I don't know."

Elizabeth Edwards and all Hillary leaning supporters take note:- There's not a shred of dignity in this woman. You can't be proud.

Reuters has the story...it's gone worldwide.

...she's still not going to get the nomination, not after today.

This is probably one of the reasons Obama didn't go to West Virginia or Kentucky to campaign.

I heard a national talk show host saying that Obama, Michelle and the children have been threatened.

Thanks Hill.
