The Return of the Bride of the Comeback

It dawned on us today the shift in the meaning of the term “election cycle” – the term, we’ve always assumed, referred to a “cycle” with respect to successive campaigning/election evolutions over the course of years. However, election “cycle” can now refer to a seemingly revolving/repeating(?) series of events within a single campaign/election evolution.

To wit, after having fun boxing Obama about the ears for his Reverend Wright association and his subsequent speech (btw, this is not going away… just fading for the time being), the focus of attention has now volleyed back to Hillary over her harrowing trip to Bosnia with Sinbad.

After admitting she misspoke, Hillary has resorted to the “…it just proves I’m human” defense. We’ll credit her for poking fun at herself but you can see the lines in her face more clearly and some of the resigned road-weariness that is becoming a trademark of hers when she’s backed into a corner.

Now, you can see where this is going, can’t you? Much more of this piling-on and untoward behavior towards this lady and we’ll be back right back in New Hampshire lapping up her tears.

I liked the way she played "above it all" during the Obama/ Wright controversy.......until she needed to say, "lookit him, lookit him, I would'a left church"
