'This Is an Ex-Candidate'

Dana Milbank of the Washington Post (who's a dude), writes a great column about how the Clinton campaign has become self-parody, using the famous Monty Python "Dead Parrot Sketch" as his model. Hillary's farcical behavior does resemble a number of Python sketches (the other that comes up frequently is the Black Knight from the Holy Grail).

Milbank's point - and this article is from May 13th - is that the farce is insulting and the journalists don't like playing along. And Milbank does something I have not read before, he tells the truth about the campaign artifice. Why more reporters don't do this infuriates me, but, hey, that's the Mainstream Media for ya:

2:57 p.m., Yeager Airport, Charleston, W.Va.: A steep descent brings Clinton's plane to Charleston's hilltop airport. After an appropriate wait, she steps from the plane and pretends to wave to a crowd of supporters; in fact, she is waving to 10 photographers underneath the airplane's wing. She pretends to spot an old friend in the crowd, points and gives another wave; in fact, she is waving at an aide she had been talking with on the plane minutes earlier.

Hillary has been lying to us for a very long time (remember the planted question), but this is just so lowbrow and pathetic. Thank you Milbank for breaking the code of omerta and actually telling us facts about the farce.
