Hillary crows, wants to be on top
meg·a·lo·ma·ni·ac
–noun
A person afflicted with megalomania; a psychopathological condition characterized by delusional fantasies of wealth, power, or omnipotence.
Hillary Clinton’s campaign barely survived last night by edging out Obama in Ohio and Rhode Island (Texas is still not in the bag). And despite her continual losses to Obama in primary after primary, debate after debate, Hillary displays her arrogant narcissism by prematurely declaring victory and assuming her coronation.
Clinton, in particular, projected confidence on the day after her candidacy-saving victories, suggesting she might want Obama as her vice presidential running mate.“That may be where this is headed, but of course we have to decide who is on the top of ticket. I think the people of Ohio very clearly said that it should be me,” she said on CBS.
Obama no doubt had other thoughts.
I’ve known since last year that it’d most likely be an Obama/Clinton ticket for the Democrats: it’ll be a nigh-unbeatable combination. The question has always been who’d be the pres and who’d be veep. Hillary doesn’t have nearly the appeal that Obama does and I really don’t believe she can beat him. And she seems to be making it clear that she won’t play second-fiddle. But who knows how this thing is gonna shake out? Maybe she knows something about those “Super Delegates” that we don’t.
Then again, hubris may be her undoing after all.
The band, Incubus, has a song that seems tailor-made for the Clinton campaign:
I hear you on the radio
You permeate my screen,
It’s unkind but
If I met you in a scissor fight
I’d cut off both your wings
on principle alone
On principle aloneHey megalomaniac
You’re not Jesus
Yeah, you’re no fucking Elvis
Special, as you know yourself, maniac
Step down
Step down
