Keep in mind that last year’s superdelegates were the one potential factor between Obama [...] The Clintons! Uncle Billy just got back from North Korea, where, after concerted efforts behind the scenes by the State Department, he could appear to be the rescuer of two American journalists. And Hillary has just arrived on the Dark Continent, where she’ll be doing research on failed Socialist kleptocratic experiments for her boss, who wants to [...] Many pundits (including us) have noted the similarity between the Obama and Clinton Administrations on a number of levels. Here is one more… an underground level. Much was made of the M’Chelle’s “organic” vegetable garden when it was planted this spring. Photo ops galore.

Secretary of State Clinton, who campaigned on her government credentials, is proving that diplomatic skill is either something you have or you don’t. On her way to China she admitted that human rights would not be a topic of business, thus writing off Tibet, ignoring ethnic Muslims in China [...] Well, it took a while, but the press and the professional weepers finally cottoned to the fact that SecState Hillary has weeded yet another flower from the Obama bouquet: human rights.
