NY Daily News on HRC: X-ray of a Dark Soul

I've been reading some of the reactions in the news this morning, including those posted by fellow Kossacks, regarding Hillary Clinton's shameful use of the assasination of Bobby Kennedy as an excuse to further her inevitable plausible doomed pathetic candidacy.

I've seen many negative responses, but probably one of the most damning and most telling I see from the New York Daily News, coming from of one Senator Clinton's many home states.

More after the fold.

Michael Goodwin writes:

SICK. Disgusting. And yet revealing. Hillary Clinton is staying in the race in the event some nut kills Barack Obama.

It could happen, but what definitely has happened is that Clinton has killed her own chances of being vice president. She doesn't deserve to be elected dog catcher anywhere now.

But wait...there's more.

Her lame explanation that she brought up the 1968 assassination of Robert Kennedy because his brother Ted's illness was on her mind doesn't cut it. Not even close.

We have seen an X-ray of a very dark soul. One consumed by raw ambition to where the possible assassination of an opponent is something to ponder in a strategic way. Otherwise, why is murder on her mind?

It's like Tanya Harding's kneecapping has come to politics. Only the senator from New York has more lethal fantasies than that nutty skater.

And...

Giving voice to such a vile thought is all the more horrible because fears Obama would be killed have been an undercurrent to his astonishing rise. Republican Mike Huckabee made a stupid joke about it recently. Many black Americans have talked of it, reflecting their assumption that racists would never tolerate a black President and that Obama would be taken from them.

Clinton has now fed that fear. She needs a very long vacation. And we need one from her.

Regardless of her intentions, Goodwin is right that she has fed this fear, a fear best left to the professionals in the Secret Service who are sworn to protect those in their charge.  

There's a lot of anger in here this morning, and Goodwin is one of the most vocal.  The least she could do is exit the race.  An awkward exit is the most she could hope for, as a graceful exit is certainly out of the question.
