Hillary Clinton: Vetted. Just like hemorrhoids


Perhaps the most tiresome, overused talking point of the Clinton campaign is the assertion that she has been "vetted" after 35 years of experience.

Now, never mind that the highlights of those 35 years were: 1) Completely screwing up health care reform, in spite of having solid Democratic majorities in Congress; and 2) Voting to support the Iraq war.

But as far as the "vetted" part goes, well, yes she's been vetted. Kinda like hemorrhoids. Kinda like Paris Hilton's singing. Kinda like... well, you get the idea.

She's been vetted. Thoroughly. And after 35 years, America has decided it does not want her as president.

[Update: Yeah, I know, I'm being harsh. Sorry Hillary, but while I defended you earlier in this cycle -- and for years before that -- your campaign has sunk so low these last few weeks that I just don't feel the need to do it anymore]
