And this much is clear: He took the gig, after something like 87 years in the Senate, because he knew in his tiny heart of hearts that that was the end of the line.

He’s already tried twice, in 1988 and again in 2008 (the latter after giving voters a full generation to forget why they didn’t like him the first time around).

(You skeptics out there can just stifle: She really did bump her head; didn’t you see CNN report that the blood clot that sent her to the hospital was “related to a concussion she suffered this month, her spokesman, Philippe Reines, said.” We’re getting it straight...

Sadly, you’re so very right.
“The chatter started right around the time then-Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton got sick, fell down, bumped her head and disappeared for six weeks.”
Maybe she will fall down again, but a little harder this time,so her odious presence is permanently removed from the American Political Scene.
Please run Joe!!! We have so many clips we could run.
