Well … I thought it was funny

Stupid people. No sense of humor at all. Can’t anyone tell what a joke is anymore? Or when somebody is cracking wise? Dur.

Sen. Hillary Clinton said Friday that she regretted comments that evoked the June 1968 assassination of Robert Kennedy as part of her explanation for why she was staying in the presidential race late into the primary season.

Earlier Friday afternoon, she told the editorial board of the Sioux Falls Argus Leader that “My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. I don’t understand it,” she said.

c’mon Hil, show some brass. I know it was a joke. Because it would take that kind of miracle for you to win the nomination. Because you offed your pal Vince Foster. Because you secretly wish there was another James Earl Ray out there, or at least some member of the Arkansas Mafia who realizes your royalty and could “rid you of this troublesome priest”. I can see the humor. Granted it’s rather dark humor, but you’re really poking fun at yourself and the hole your candidacy is in.

But no, she can’t do that. That would be honest. Forthright. Can’t have that. Instead she tries a bit of CYA later in the day -

Later at an event in Brandon, South Dakota, she said, “earlier today, I was discussing the Democratic primary history and in the course of that discussion mentioned the campaigns that both my husband and Sen. Kennedy waged in California in June in 1992 and 1968, and I was referencing those to make the point that we have had nominating primary contests that go into June. That’s an historic fact.”

But the PC Police didn’t buy it. Not only have you offended his Messiahness by making this thinly veiled threat against his life, you’ve gone on the offensive and now claim that the reason all the little people are upset is because they’re stupid -

Clinton’s campaign manager, Maggie Williams, told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer that people may have “misinterpreted what she meant.”

And you’re right, because they are. Therefore you’re double damned. So stop speaking anything remotely like the truth, and just make up a new lie, or at least a significant misstatement of facts -

“I think people have short memories,” she said then. “Primary contests used to last a lot longer. We all remember the great tragedy of Bobby Kennedy being assassinated in June in L.A. My husband didn’t wrap up the nomination in 1992 until June. Having a primary contest go through June is nothing particularly unusual.”

Primary contests didn’t used to last a lot longer. They ran into June because they didn’t start until February. Of that year. By far and away, this has been the longest campaign in the history of the US, followed by the mostly standard primary season. Only a few states actually moved their dates up. Places like Michigan and Florida. You’ve heard of them, haven’t you?

I’m not going to bother writing about what Obullshit’s camp said. Typical whiney baby poo-flinging episode. Who cares?

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
