littlenomad's response to Hillary's Op-Ed and Bill's foolishness

I hoped for the best, but expected the worst.

And I (we) got it.

My apologies, but below I'm going to quote from a couple of excellent diaries I read today.  

This morning Hillary Clinton has an op-ed in the Daily News.  In it, she remains unapologetic about her RFK assassination comments. Instead she says that those who were offended took her "entirely out of context". She is "dismayed and disturbed" that we would misconstrue her comments. In other words, she stands by what she said and regrets that we have twisted her words. If people were holding their breath for an apology for her ghoulish behavior this is not it:

The first thing I saw when I logged on tonight was a Yahoo! News headline:  Obama open to Clinton as running mate.

"There's no doubt that she's qualified to be vice president, there's no doubt she's qualified to be president," Obama told NBC News.

In a CNN interview, he said he had not wrapped up the Democratic presidential nomination, but when he does, he will start going through the process of selecting a running mate.

"She is tireless, she is smart. She is capable. And so obviously she'd be on anybody's short list to be a potential vice presidential candidate," said Obama, who inched closer to winning the nomination by routing Clinton in North Carolina and almost defeating her in Indiana on Tuesday.
