Don't Panic! Hitchhikers Guide to the Dem Primary

Wed Apr 23, 2008 at 07:18:12 AM PDT

I have now officially updated my entry on Hillary Clinton in the Hittchikers Guide to the Galaxy. Formerly, she was listed a "Harmless."

Now, after extensive research, and over a year of campaigning, I have modified her official entry to "Mostly Harmless."

What strategy should Democrats take from now on to deal with "Mostly Harmless" Hillary Clinton? I suggest ignoring her. I know that's kind of hard to do since she's very insistent upon not being ignored. But, her outsized ego doesn't count for much, if we don't pay attention to her. [She could use a stint in the Total Perspective Vortex].

I say this because, like the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal -- she believes that if you can't see her, she can't see you. So, rather than put a towel over everyone's head, I think simply not wrting about her on blogs after today will help. Not talking about her on radio talk shows or internet message boards will help.

Focusing all of our energy on John McCain will help.

Let Hillary be Hillary. Let her keep going as long as she wants. Just accept it, move on and don't panic.

She will have to give up eventually. And even if she doesn't, then so be it. Let her contest the nomination at the convention. She will lose there too.

Let her run as an independant, if she wants. If she wants to form an "Agreived Middle Aged White Women" party, let her.

I have resolved not to spend a single moment of my precious time or pyshic well-being caring about what Hillary Clinton does from now on.

Once I made that decision -- I felt I had to share my good choice with everyone here. I can't tell you how good it feels to have simply decided to let her be.

She has become like Milton Waddams from the movie Office Space. The weirdo the boss is afraid to fire because he may go postal -- so he keeps moving him to smaller and smaller cubicles far away from everyone, and quitely stops his paycheck.

Just -- whatever you do -- don't take away Hillary's stapler.

ADDENDUM: It was pointed out to me that Hillary may have the second worst speaking style in the known galaxy. During a recitation of her recent stump speech in Scranton -- four of her audience died of internal hemorrhaging and the president of the Scranton Arts Appreciation Council survived by gnawing one of his own legs off.
