Loved this article from the Post today, conveying the feeling that Clinton’s campaign is merely a deathwatch for all involved. Particularly entertaining was this scene, where apparently Hillary pretends to greet a crowd as she’s getting off her plane, when it’s really just a small cadre of reporters under the wing:
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.
The article goes on to compare her campaign to a dead parrot in a Monty Python skit. It’s all over, folks. There’s nothing to see here, go back about your business.
