The Slow Death

Jill Iscol fights for her right to parrot a Clinton Talking Point:

"This is not the party I thought I belonged to. This is not the party that espouses fairness, justice and equality for all. "

Oh wait...let me guess-"I didn't leave the Democratic Party, it left me":

"This is not the party that elected Bill Clinton President in 1992 and 1996 and Hillary Clinton as Senator in 2000 and 2006. "

And just why is it that the party has moved away from that? Could it be that the pitched ideological battles of the nineties are partially why we are as fucked as we are? Could it be that the ever triangulating Clintons have outsmarted themselves this time? Could it be that Hillary Clinton voted for the war?

Then, of course, the this is where the ideological Kool Aid man crashes through the wall:

"Throughout all this, Hillary has maintained her focus, her message and her dignity. This is truly courage under fire. This is what it takes to be a great president. It is not over until the lady in the pant suit says it is and I and millions of others are with her."

Dignity...really...I'm speechless.
