Finally . . .

After months (years) of teasing (is there anything more ridiculous than Hillary playing the tease!?!), Hillary Clinton has finally announced what anyone with a brain in his/her head has known for years: she’s running for president.

This is the moment, and the reason why, she hitched her wagon to Bill all those years ago. He got her where she is today and if he knows what’s good for him, he’ll get her further. In her mind, if she wins, then all those years of humiliation at his hands will have finally paid off.

“I’m in and I’m in to win.” Those words, spoken by one of the most ruthless people ever to inhabit the earth, should strike terror into the hearts of those running against her. She will slash and burn and destroy anyone who gets in the way of what she believes is her divine right. Anyone out there who doesn’t think that she doesn’t already have a fat dossier of naughty info on everyone running against her? Don’t ever forget that she had her hands on raw FBI files.

I’m looking forward to the debates. Hillary doesn’t just expect deferential treatment, she tacitly demands it. However, none of the men running against her, if he really expects to win, can afford to kiss her broad backside. Her opponents will have to challenge her. How can Joe Biden or Christopher Dodd or any one of the other interchangeable senators say that he is the best candidate without, at the same time, saying she isn’t. All the bowing and scraping, with blood in their eyes, should be fun.

It will take my mind off the fact that Republicans are, to date, fielding a miserably pitiful slate.
