Salon: Zombie time at campaign Hillary

[EdwardBernays]

It’s zombie time at campaign Hillary. Behold the dead men walking! It was with strangely slow, narcotized numbness that the candidate and her phalanx of minions and mouthpieces responded to last week’s punishing report by the State Department’s Inspector General about her email security lapses. Do they truly believe, in the rosy alternate universe of Hillaryland, that they can lie their way out of this? Of course, they’re relying as usual on the increasingly restive mainstream media to do their dirty work for them. If it were a Republican in the crosshairs, Hillary’s shocking refusal to meet with the Inspector General (who interviewed all four of the other living Secretaries of State of the past two decades) would have been the lead item flagged in screaming headlines from coast to coast. Let’s face it—the genuinely innocent do not do pretzel twists like this to cover their asses.

Meanwhile, former Bill Clinton advisor and pollster Douglas Schoen gave the strongest signal yet in a Wall Street Journal op-ed this week (“Clinton may not be the nominee”) that worried backstage huddles in the Democratic party establishment are reaching fever pitch. The article’s floating of the idea of a Joe Biden-Elizabeth Warren substitute ticket (which I’ve been privately predicting to friends all year) is so evenly and magisterially phrased that I wondered if the text had been vetted by an approving White House. So this may be why Bernie Sanders (my candidate) has gone into overdrive—not to damage Hillary, as her acolytes spitefully claim, but to fight off the tactical insertion of Biden at the Democratic Convention in Philadelphia. Sanders could rightly claim, on the basis of his long and strenuous primary campaign, that if anyone deserves the nomination vacated by a tarnished Hillary, it is he. If Sanders does defer to Biden, it will only be via enormous concessions, beginning with the unceremonious removal of devious DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

...

Trump is a stormily dynamic change-maker who will surely win this election unless the Democrats get their house in order and nominate a figure of honor and integrity. Bernie Sanders, who represents the wave of the future, is my first choice, but Joe Biden, with his international experience, would be a solid second. If the kamikaze party wants to nominate an ethically challenged incompetent like Hillary Clinton, then I’ll be voting Green for the second time. Go, Jill Stein!

Another day, another call from a mainstream media outlet for Hillary to not be the nominee.

6. Charles P. Pierce responds: "For Sale: Website. Batsh*t Crazy."

"The security guards at Salon HQ are all passed-out sockless drunk again. Crazy people are coming in through the windows and posting.

Did you know that the "increasingly restive mainstream media" is giving Hillary Rodham Clinton a pass on the whole email business, including the "punishing report" produced by the office of the Inspector General of the Department of State?

Did you know that there is one person in the world who believes in the analysis of Douglas Schoen, the Chicken Little-est of all Chicken Littles?

...

There are reports that Salon may be up for sale. I have serious doubts whether the transaction ever will take place. The costs of padding all the walls in the offices might prove prohibitive.

CPP is for Bernie, btw. I dropped Salon when they kept reposting sex stories incessantly on my FB feed.

7. I'd say

the media is largely giving her a pass on the emails thing... not as much of a pass as they were, but still much more than 99% of people would get in similar situations.

I'm not on FB but if I was getting sex stories on my timeline I'd also dump Salon.

8. Kill the Messenger.

Where's Paul Revere when you need him, or some semblance of a substitute. Me thinks it won't be until After we see the Whites of Their Eyes...or the Orange of Their Hair.

Bernie's new hope to the formerly disposessed turned wildly excited cheerleaders, will not be the Unicorn or Fairy Fantasy of the Establishment...they have their own...to put HRH over the top.

They'll once again painfully remember why it was that they checked out.
