Hillary's Bruce Willis Syndrome: Dead But Doesn't Know It Yet

Hillary's Bruce Willis Syndrome

The last week in March was, with little doubt, one of the most trying for the Clinton campaign. Her quest to gain superdelegates was blunted by Bob Casey and Bill Richardson, two major party players who have clearly recognized the writing on the wall. The core of her experience rationale was called into question when it was revealed that, on multiple occasions, Hillary had dramatically exaggerated her experience landing in war-torn Bosnia. It was also revealed that she had almost nothing to do with the SCHIP program she claimed to have created, with a number of those involved describing her accounts as straining credulity. She still hasn't released her tax returns, without explanation or justification and, she was quoted as taking credit for lobbying for the Family Medical Leave Act's passage, though it had passed the House and Senate before her husband took office.

Her insistence on making her candidacy about experience has shed light on parts of her character that might have been better left in the dark.

But last week that all seemed to change. Rather than inaccurately portraying the race as a virtual tie, a horserace likely to produce a photo-finish in Denver, the media has begun to confront the harder truth that the Clinton campaign is over. Like Bruce Willis in The Sixth Sense, the Clinton campaign doesn't yet know that it's already dead.

The tone and tenor of her campaign has also taken a surprising turn, becoming more and more a vehicle for open hypocrisy. Out of one side of her mouth, Hillary argues that all remaining contests should be completed before a decision is made and that Florida and Michigan ought to be seated for fear of their disenfranchisement. Out of the other side, she argues that the delegates that were allocated based on state primaries and caucuses should actually ignore their obligation to support the candidate to which they were pledged. She is uncomfortable disenfranchising Florida and Michigan, but perfectly content tossing out the other forty eight.

It would be silly were it not so serious.

5. The Clinton campaign has become VERY big hypocrites on a variety of levels

[SwampG8r]

7. i wonder

if she just thinks she sees dead people?
i mean
if you read her supporters posts on DU
arent most of the democratic party "dead to me now"?

[K Gardner]

11. OK, that picture is a riot !

[dailykoff]

8. She knows damn well what she's doing,

For instance, she knows she doesn't have to plan a convention and a freaking GE campaign against the kitchen sink all over again, like Obama does, and she knows she's got absolutely nothing to lose in this race because she doesn't stand a chance of winning fairly or without CIA intervention, Which frees her up to do as much mischief as she likes, and she likes a lot. :mad:

9. Like her husband, she's a strong candidate and a fighter

those are qualities we need in a president.

[cliffordu]

18. Then why the obvious desperation and flop sweat???

[DearAbby]

21. Too bad she didnt show this spunk

when it really counted...IWR vote.

[undeterred]

10. I think of her as a little girl who doesn't want to leave

the birthday party even though the party is over and all the other guests are gone. And the very gracious birthday boy sees her playing with all his toys and he says, "That's ok, she can stay and play as long as she wants to."

[skater314159]

19. That's a very good example...

I think Obama's actions in this show how good he is at handling difficult people, and I think it also shows his generosity and understanding of others. Those are two qualities we really need right now in our leaders if we want to heal this country and move forward.

I feel empathy and sympathy for Hillary, but she needs to take responsibility for her actions and she needs to handle her defeat gracefully.

[K Gardner]

20. No, they aren't.

YOU get over it.

I understand your wanting to support your candidate, but don't ignore the totals. Obama is ahead. Period.

(**noting for the record that I'm not an Obama supporter, but I am a stickler for non-spun facts)

[Cha]

17. There's an Old Song

HE'S DEAD, BUT HE WON'T LIE DOWN

Gracie Fields (with Ray Noble's Orch) - 1932



My Sister's young man is a hundred and three
Yes, a hundred and three is he
And he's real cold storage meat
From his head right to his feet
He's dead, but he won't lie down

Now, she's his Juliet and he's her Romeo
Though his real name is Septimus Brown
From his soul romance has fled
Still she likes his old bald head
He's dead, but he won't lie down

He won't lie down
He's dead, but he won't lie down

At a movie show once, full of passion and love
He said, "Be Mrs. Septimus Brown", huh-huh
And although he'd got the cramps
He said, "Vamp me, Darling, vamp", hee-hee-hee-hee
He's dead, but he won't lie down

Now, Septimus Brown has a large family
It's the biggest one for miles around
He's had children by the score
But he thinks he'd like some more
He's dead, but he won't lie down

He won't lie down
He's dead, but he won't lie down

Now, late last night in the old cemet'ry
With all the pretty tombstones 'round
Sister said, "Oh, do behave, a-hah-hah"
Then they both fell in a grave
He's dead, but he won't lie down

He won't lie down
He's dead, but he won't lie down

I think he's lying down now
I think they're both lying down, huh-huh
