WTF!

Now I want to know where McCain stands on the issue of hot water, dehydrated babies and bottle production. STAT!

Last night was a truly historic moment and Hillary Clinton made history for all the wrong reasons. Instead of conceding to Barack Obama, instead of declaring him the rightful winner and instead of turning her followers' attention to him as the legitimate nominee, she chose to turn the moment into a show of force against Obama.

Jeffrey Toobin of CNN described it as a moment of "deranged narcissism" while Carl Bernstein described it as "another Clinton foundling drama".

What's makes the picture of a derange narcissist worse is the arrogance with which many a defender would describe her "non-concession" speech : that she needs to take her time, that she needs space, that she's earned her right not to concede immediately, that Obama needs to watch out and make sure he doesn't hurt her feelings or slight her or say the wrong thing, etc. etc.

And let's not even get into the psychopathic ruse of claiming she's won 18 million votes in the course of this election.
