Hillary Invokes RFK's Assassination as a Reason Not To Drop Out




She has simply lost all shame. She is stating, for the national media and anyone nutjob watching that she's readily available to step in if, y'know, Barack Obama gets, y'know, ASSASSINATED.

Some may say this wasn't what she was going for, and since she made these comments, she has tried to explain them, halfways retracted them, then got mad at the media for taking them 'out of context'. Hillary says she was just referring to long nominating contests stretching into the fall, but even this is shoddy.

Bill Clinton did have the nomination wrapped up, he was just waiting to be rubber-stamped, much in the same way McCain is the 'presumptive' nominee now, so toss that out. Also, there have been much closer and politically relevant races than RFK's back in '68. There was the other Kennedy, the man who should have been President, Ted Kennedy, and also Gary Hart, who both ran campaigns almost up to the Convention to secure their spots.

I know she brings up Bill constantly, and that's fine, they're married and all, but I wish she would do it with a little truth. With Bobby Kennedy, I just think it's ghoulish, uncalled for, and frankly shows her judgment is not up to snuff to be Commander in Chief, period.
