Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton on Friday invoked the 1968 assassination of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy in explaining her decision to remain in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination, comments that drew criticism from aides to Sen. Barack Obama and cooled speculation that the two may form a joint ticket for the general election.Yeah, ya think?
Jebus what a boneheaded comment. Bobby Kennedy? Are you shitting me? When I first heard this I thought she was taken out of context or misquoted or a can of soup had fallen on my head. But no, it was true.
My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right?" she continued. "We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. --WAPO
Hunh? Your husband had the nomination wrapped up well before California, who are you kidding? Bobby Kennedy was shot on June 5th, not really the "middle of June."
How bad is this campaign? Well, it is sinking 2 political careers, Hillary's and Bill's. Watch how this week is going to be all about Hillary riding out the shitstorm of this unbelievable stupid thing to say.
