My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right?,” Clinton said in explaining why she remained in the race to the Sioux Falls (S.D.) Argus Leader editorial board. “We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. I don’t understand it.

Hillary just can’t give it up. She feels she DESERVES the nomination. She will pull at any loose straws she can, to cling to the hope of “something” happening to get her in. Her campaign has already threatened the “Nuclear Option” and now it sounds like she and her campaign have at least thought about, in the back of their minds, the Robert Kennedy “Assassination” scenario. The Super Delegates need to step forward now and declare for Obama and put the Clinton campaign out of their misery.

In the past two weeks, the following events transpired. A Department of Justice memo, authored by John Yoo, was released which authorized torture and presidential lawbreaking. It was revealed that the Bush administration declared the Fourth Amendment of the Bill of Rights to be inapplicable to “domestic military operations” within the U.S. The U.S. Attorney General appears to have fabricated a key event leading to the 9/11 attacks and made patently false statements about surveillance laws and related lawsuits. Barack Obama went bowling in Pennsylvania and had a low score.
Here are the number of times, according to NEXIS, that various topics have been mentioned in the media over the past thirty days:
“Yoo and torture” – 102
“Mukasey and 9/11″ — 73
“Yoo and Fourth Amendment” — 16
“Obama and bowling” — 1,043
“Obama and Wright” — More than 3,000 (too many to be counted)
“Obama and patriotism” – 1,607
“Clinton and Lewinsky” — 1,079

Every day, it becomes more difficult to blame George Bush, Dick Cheney and comrades for their seven years (and counting) of crimes, corruption and destruction of our political values. Think about it this way: if you were a high government official and watched as — all in a couple of weeks time — it is revealed, right out in the open, that you suspended the Fourth Amendment, authorized torture, proclaimed yourself empowered to break the law, and sent the nation’s top law enforcement officer to lie blatantly about how and why the 9/11 attacks happened so that you could acquire still more unchecked spying power and get rid of lawsuits that would expose what you did, and the political press in this country basically ignored all of that and blathered on about Obama’s bowling score and how he eats chocolate, wouldn’t you also conclude that you could do anything you want, without limits, and know there will be no consequences? What would be the incentive to stop doing all of that?

It is a sad state of affairs when Britney Spears and Obama’s bowling score is what the media thinks is important for Americans to hear.
