Hilarious article entitled "Much Ado About Not Much" from Dana Milbank at Washington Post about Hillary's uncontested "win" in Florida, where the delegates don't count, the Dems had agreed not to campaign, but she held a "victory" party to steal momentum from Obama:
I know people are busy, I know not everyone can follow everything closely, but this is purely a stunt to capitalize on that, and I find it kind of insulting and at least a little dishonest - like a lot of stuff her campaign has been up to."...in a political stunt worthy of the late Evel Knievel, the Clinton campaign decided to put on an ersatz victory party that, it hoped, would erase memories of Obama's actual victory Saturday night in South Carolina's Democratic primary. "Thank you, Florida Democrats!" Clinton shouted to the cheering throng. "I am thrilled to have this vote of confidence."
It was a perfect reproduction of an actual victory speech, delivered at a perfectly ersatz celebration at a perfectly pretend location: a faux Italianate palace with lion sculptures, indoor fountains and a commanding view of Interstate 595. The Signature Grand ("Elegant Weddings and Grand Social Occasions") was also holding receptions Tuesday night for a pediatric practice and for a group of optometry students, but the Clinton campaign was the biggest draw: It filled the Silver Palm Room, the Golden Palm Room and the Emerald Palm Room."
Off soapbox....now!
