Clintonism Is Dead

The massacre of the ghastly Terry "Well, You Wouldn't Want A Black President, Would You?" McAuliffe in the Virginia gubernatorial primary is spectacularly good news.

Onwards now to the removal of the even ghastlier Hillary "My Husband Was President, So That Qualifies Me To Be President/I'll Nuke Iran If My Saudi, Kuwait and Emirati Paymasters Tell Me To/Well, You Wouldn't Want A Black President, Would You?" Clinton from the State Department, and indeed from public life altogether.

Those who still look to the man who sent Americans' jobs to Mexico and their sons to die in Yugoslavia should be purged as ruthlessly as those who still look to his ridiculous mini-me over here.

Virginians, meanwhile, have the honour of voting for Creigh Deeds. A man who wants a $10,000 tax credit for businesses that make "job-creating investments". Who wants tougher sanctions against the lenders of subprime mortgages. Who was endorsed by the NRA during his 2005 Attorney General run, yet wanted to require identification at gun shows, and supports a state ban on the civilian ownership of semi-automatic rifles. Who voted to make English Virginia's only official language, to render illegal immigrants ineligible for state and local benefits, and against allowing illegal immigrants to pay in-state tuition rates.

In favour of the death penalty, alas. And a bit Green. But persuadable on traditional marriage.

All in all, the return of the Democratic Party to the well-deserved electoral dominance that, like healthcare, the Clintons never delivered.

  1. At this point, I figure Hillary is doing less harm where she is than she would be if left in the Senate to nurse a grudge. At least this way, she's kept on the move and busy.

    And mind you, nobody loathes the Clintons more than me, and nobody has wanted more to see them both completely frozen out. Nobody.

  2. She'd never get back into the Senate, the world moves on.
