Go Home Jumping The Shark

Jumping The Shark

The first question on today's latest Clinton campaign conference call came from the "freelance humor columnist" for the Syracuse Post-Standard.

Maybe it's time to put this whole campaign on pause for a month or so?

There's an old Welsh saying that applies here:

When you lie down with Sinbad, you're bound to get up with freelance humor columnists.

Hillary said she ghost-wrote Erma Bombeck's column for six years.

Mayhap we should simply put the Clinton campaign out of its misery.  

The moment they wandered into Scaife territory is the moment they not only jumped the shark, it is the moment that we could collectively stick the fork in them - they are done.  

Honestly, how do you, as Hillary Clinton, even begin to think that sitting down with those people was a good idea?  Pccostello and other Clinton supporters, how does this make any sense whatsoever?  The folks over at the Onion have all resigned after that one, as they simply could not have even dreamed of such cruel irony.

David Greenberg wants to know why folks are turning on Senator Clinton?  Please.  I hope he offers some kind of reappraisal after this knavish behavior.

I just flew in from interviewing Hillary Rodham Clinton, and boy are my arms tired!

[scattered applause]

Thankyou, thankyou. After the interview, Hillary picked up a frog, put it on her shoulder, and walked into a bar. The bartender saw the frog and said, "Where'd you get that?"  The frog said, "Every four years the town's crawlin' with 'em."

[rimshot]

[loud applause]

Thank you. Oh, you're so kind. Thankyouverymuch!

Hillary was quite friendly, actually. We shook hands, she looked me up and down and asked, "So, how tall are you, anyway?"  "Five feet ten inches," I said. "Forget about the five feet," she said. "Let's talk about the ten inches!"

[badabing, badabang, badaBOOM!]

[wild, sustained applause!]

Oh gee, thatssoniceofyou. Yertookind, rully. Thank you...

Not only that, but they've retained Dave Barry as a strategic adviser for South Florida, Cuban policy, and wacky Christmas gifts.

Check this out, great piece of parody on Hillary's fabulist imaginings of her life and times in the combat zone and at least in her mind unquestionable courage under fire. Could use a little bit of editing, but otherwise just fabulous.
