Rusty Old Crusty obviously still wants to be president, so tonight, she swallowed the entitlement that is intrinsic to both Clintons and said the right things.

When she first campaigned for a New York Senate seat, Hillary Clinton earned the nickname "The Laundry Lady." I prefer my nickname for her: Fat Bottomed Girl.

Has anyone identified her speech as the commencement of her 2012 campaign?

Clinton didn't need to match the intensity of Dennis Kucinich, who, earlier in the evening, hopped and screamed like a meth-addled Smurf. Quotes like this never fail to put a smile on my face.

My 6-year old son asked me “why is that lady grumpy?”.
Well there you go, out of the mouths of babes. Not having the political bias we all do, he saw an angry women.

A whimper is right. She blinked.
I didn't watch it all, however I saw the 'highlights presented by the 10 O'Clock news. Hillary didn't have the 'fire' in her voice that she had on the primary campaign trail. She blinked ... and Barack won.

Which reminds me, isn't there a DVD with my name on it kicking around somewhere?
The way Obama’s sinking, you might want to get started on next year's show.

As Rush predicted, it was a “see, you could have had ME!” speech.

I wonder if she got that pantsuit out of Elton’s closet.

Clinton didn't need to match the intensity of Dennis Kucinich, who, earlier in the evening, hopped and screamed like a meth-addled Smurf.I saw just a brief flash of Dennis the Menace on the CBS coverage last night. Cleveland must be so proud of their former mayor....He was definitely on something....

Hillary:
“You know, I’m — I’m here tonight as a proud mother, as a proud Democrat...
... as a proud senator from New York...
... a proud American...
... and a proud supporter of Barack Obama.”
Noticed she didn’t say “as a proud mother and wife”, but perhaps she just isn’t a proud wife.
I think Hillary did what she needed to do. She was nice and stated support for Obama even though she did not embrace him.

I heard the same. I was waiting for her to include Bills name, he campaigned for her. I can only think Hillary needed Bill until she lost and will divorce him soon.
To: Zakeet
“she wrapped up her historic candidacy with a whimper”
Is this all you can conjure, Samuron Hilbillie?
