[blink, blink] I guess it's a good thing she's leaving and taking all of that with her? Maybe this is some of that Beltway irony I've heard so much about? You can't possibly believe that she's contributed one-nanteenth to the mindlessness and partisan frivolity that is extant in American politics. Not in eight months on a national stage. Not with the thousands who have trod before her. It's simply impossible. But I think you do believe that.

I understand there's to be an investigation conducted by the Feds into some of her self-dealings. If they have a deep v-cut prison top and maybe some mix-and-match snug-fitting prison bottoms I think she'll do herself quite well in any penitentiary beauty competition.
