A safe bet

Here’s how I think the rest of 2008 will go politically:

• Hillary and Mr. Bill will beat Obama to the nomination with a combination of questionable decisions by the Democratic Central Committee, last-minute superdelegate switches, and other undemocratic means
• Hillary will then make an eloquent appeal for party unity, which will be ignored by millions of disappointed Obama voters
• McCain will whip her ass in the general election.
• She will then blame Obama, Ralph Nader, the New York Times and National Public Radio for her defeat–in fact, she never stood a chance against McCain.
• The public, unaware of McCain’s solid right wing credentials and violent temper, will find themselves in the grip of that scariest of all democratic governments, the elderly disengaged figurehead president advised by a bunch of unelected out-of-control think-tank boys who will all resign some day or face treason charges.

Why did Hillary never stand a chance against McCain? Because she’s irritating. She irritates me and she irritates you. Admit it. Who wants to be scolded for four years? Sorry, but there it is..

My next blog will be on a really exciting subject, the real reason the Republicans want warrantless wiretapping. I’m sure my zero regular readers will want to be there, so make a note.
