A Familiar Malice

Is the title of a post by Bob Felton at Civil Commotion that accurately describes Hillary's speech last night and compares her insanity/disingenuousness with that of the worst of the Christianist preachers for whom reality is irrelevant. I truly am coming to believe that Hillary needs a mental health intervention (Bill has needed one for quite sometime). If she keeps up this behavior, her legacy will be that of a laughing stock nutcase. Here's Bob's thoughts:
*
By even the standards of this strange political season that prizes religious exhibitionism, Hillary Clinton’s speech last night was reminiscent of nothing so much as the worst rantings of fundamentalist preachers.
*
She is so baldly and so grossly out of touch with reality as to raise well-founded questions about her mental stability.
*
She urged her followers on a course certain to damage her party, their nominal friends, and weaken it.
*
They Amen!-ed at the appropriate times and they will do as she asks, resolutely working against Obama and counting on a miracle to come galloping over the hill.
*
And the point is, just like any moron preacher who secretly knows he’s a moron, to humble her betters.
*
Oh, yeah — another thing: She asked for money, so that her mighty work may continue. All that was different was the place.
