Douglas Brinkley on KO: Someone needs to "intervene"

[blitzen]

and get Hillary out of the race.

Maybe SNL could do a spoof of "Intervention" this week, with Hillary as the addict.

1. Sexist shitheads abound...

[skooooo]

2. take your head out much???

[union_maid]

4. What exactly is sexist about that?

Huh?

[blitzen]

5. Huh???

[book_worm]

7. once again, Hillary only has herself to blame.

[RainDog]

9. Prof. Brinkley, from Rice, is a respected historian

your comment is sad, really, because you fail to realize the gravity of this moment.

Brinkley wasn't making fun of her in any way.

The truth is that she should have at least suspended her campaign two weeks ago. She should never have tried to employ her stated "nuclear option."

She will not be the nominee, no matter what happens.

[MissDeeds]

13. Yes, and he seemed genuinely sad

that HRC has made such a monumental mess of her candidacy. She has made a muck of things with one gaffe after another, with some help from Bill. I thought they were above this, but sadly, they are not. Brinkley seemed to share the same disappointment. It is so sad to see their legacy shredded in this way - by their own actions.

[calimary]

21. Yes, he did seem sad, didn't he? I noticed that. He appeared genuinely crestfallen.

As though there'd been a death in the family. That was the timbre of almost the entire "Countdown."

It's not sexist. I'm one of the last of the red-hot feminists. And I don't see sexism here. Now maybe if that idiot lout chris matthews had been in his usual "fine form," there'd be a legitimate sexism bone to pick. But there hasn't been. At least not lately. At least none that I can see.

[cliffordu]

10. Yep sexist sexist sexist is what we are!!

:rofl: :rofl:

[Yael]

11. In what universe do you get "sexism" out of this?

I ask as a female, BTW.

[neverforget]

14. That would be the Hillary universe where it's all about her.

[Dave From Canada]

15. You're right, it's not sexism, it's stupidity. Douglas Brinkley is suppose to be an historian,

but apparently an intervention is needed to prevent a Presidential candidate from finishing her party's primary, which ends in two weeks. Two f'ing weeks. Why is there need for an intervention? And surely Mr. Brinkley has some historical perspective when it comes to primary races. I don't remember him calling for an intervention during the Carter/Kennedy primary contest, or the Bush/Reagan primary contest. Or primary contests further in the past. Only this one, because King Barack's coronation needs to take place as soon as possible!

[Yael]

18. Because now that she has been blocked by the math, she just announced that her path

is her opponent's assassination and that is why she is staying in?

Even she knows she fucked up. Heck, even Taylor Marsh is saying it was a royal fuckup. It may take a week to get it out on the blogger conference call though.

[Dave From Canada]

19. They both need super delegates to reach the total needed. Obama needs less. I still don't see what

the problem is with Clinton continuing her campaing for another two weeks, when the contests come to an end.

[Adelante]

20. Taylor Swamp is saying that?

That's really something.

[C_U_L8R]

3. Douglas Brinkley laid it all out.

Hillary is really hurting herself at this point.

[JerseygirlCT]

8. It's sad... sort of pathetic to watch.

She's really going out badly.

[RainDog]

6. I saw the interview too

it was very good. He looked sad to see her implode. I don't think he sees anything funny about the situation at all. She definitely just destroyed any hope for a nomination as of today.

It's over.

[City Lights]

12. I thought he seemed sad too. You could see it on his face and hear it

in his voice.

And his assessment of the seriousness of her comments was spot on.

[Ichingcarpenter]

16. He called her a good senator and was sadden by her remark

He said it was time for an intervention.....

Chris Hayes from the Nation rocks talking about McCain

[RamboLiberal]

17. Sorry SNL's finale was last week

Is Jon Stewart in repeats next week or will he be new? I'd love to see what he and Colbert do with this.
