Hillary’s Voice

(cross-posted at Reclusive Leftist)

So, you know how Obama got creamed in the debate the other night? How everybody from the focus groups to the media called it for Hillary? How the press coverage included lines like “there’s no way Obama could have fared worse”?

Yeah, well, Walter Shapiro knows better! He just squeezed his eyes shut, clicked his heels three times, and made it all go away: “In the end, Obama seemed to win simply by not losing.”

I know I’m impressed. I congratulate Lord Obama on his magnificent accomplishment. I hope he’ll branch out into other areas of passive achievement. For example, perhaps he’ll consider becoming elected President by not running. That would be wonderful, I think. He could just stay home in Chicago, not running for President, and come November all the Obamabots could joyously congratulate each other on what a brilliant job he did of not losing.

And while they’re doing that, those of us in the real world could look forward to years of peace and prosperity under President Hillary Clinton.
