In June, Hillary Rodham Clinton appeared on the cover of People magazine for the first time in more than a decade. Real people, not the magazine, talked about what the article might mean for 2016. They talked about whether Clinton was using a walker (she wasn't). They talked about people talking about whether Clinton was using a walker (She still wasn't).

What they didn't do was buy the magazine. According to a report from AdWeek on Monday, the June 16 issue of People featuring the former first lady and senator was the magazine's worst selling of 2014 with 503,890 copies sold. The magazine's best-selling issue --1,169,800 copies -- was the one featuring Robin Williams after his death in late August. AdWeek said that celebrity weeklies saw poor performances with issues that featured the Kardashians and Beyonce on the cover.

And that’s why I think anybody thinking she’ll even run, much less get the nomination is just plain silly. Nobody likes her anymore, the career has ended.

I hope you're right, we should be celebrating.

I'm still a bit perplexed that the drivebys are turning on the Clinton machine...

I'm surprised Taylor Swift wasn't included. All of these people are overexposed and whatever is remotely interesting about them simply goes away with having them stuck in your face every day.

A recent picture that probably wasn't altered.

That's probably what it is. The Clintons and their handlers are always very aware of what kind of image they are projecting (such as the staged photo of Bill and Hillary dancing on the beach during the height of the Lewinsky scandal.) With rumors out there about the state of her health, there's no way Hillary would have allowed herself to be photographed with a walker.

The drivebys loved the Clintons the way Romanians loved the Ceausescus.
