Rasputin Spring @ 10:24 am

Tags: , , , , , , ,

Just when all the folks in the know have rung the death knell for the Clinton campaign, HillRod surges back up and into the boat like the shark in Jaws and wins one, or 2 or 3. California, Florida, Michigan and now Pennsylvania.

Against all odds, in the face of a faithless media who have thrown her over for Barack Obama, Hillary stays true to plan and soldiers on. Married to a world-class campaigner of an ex-president husband who seems pathologically compelled to keep the spotlight on himself and who has hobbled his wife time and time again by continually throwing verbal spike strips into the path of her campaign, Hillary Clinton has refused to slink away into the long night of political defeat. A poster at Lucianne is referring to the spectacle of Hillary's tenacious refusal to allow hope to die as Rasputin Spring.

Obama's incident with the waffle enters American pop culture as the actual leftover waffle goes up for sale on eBay and artists paint it. As Barack Obama said when asked about whether Hamas fan, Jimmy Carter, should speak at the Democrats' convention:
"Why can't I just eat my waffle?"
