Hillary Clinton’s campaign for President is over, and anyone with a lick of sense knows it. The amazing thing is that she has done it to herself by stealth implosion.

Imagine the Republican attack ads this fall, if by some fluke Clinton gets the Democratic nomination. The 30 second spot that would run again and again in prime time would have the simplicity of LBJ’s “Daisy” ad against Barry Goldwater in the 1964 campaign. The ad could even be in black and white, for nostalgia’s sake.

”I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base.“

Hillary Clinton, speech at George Washington University, March 17, 2008.

The ad would picture Hillary Clinton being greeted in Bosnia by a little girl with flowers. The voice-over would be Hillary ’s own words describing how she had to run for cover to avoid sniper fire.

The ad would end with the simple question:

“Liar or lunatic?”

R. J. Eskow wrote on Friday:

“If you’re Hillary Clinton and you’ve just been caught in a “whopper,” the only thing to be grateful for is that it’s Good Friday and people are distracted. How bad could this story be for her? When you tell the American public you faced gunfire, and it turns out all you really faced was a little girl with flowers — well, that’s as bad as it gets. When you dramatically say you made a journey that was too dangerous for the president, only to have it revealed that he made the same trip two months earlier — and that your teenaged daughter was by your side — that only makes it worse.

“And there’s video.

“If they wanted to, the networks could juxtapose video of Sen. Clinton’s dramatic recitation of the battle with this clip of that sweet eight-year-old on the tarmac with a bouquet. The question is: Will they want to?”

R. J. Eskow – How Will Hillary’s Bosnia “Whopper” Play in the Media?

If the networks don’t push this story now, the Republican 527’s will do it later, if Hillary is the nominee.

Hillary is toast. I do not expect her to realize or admit it.

Will the Democratic Party as a whole be able to face up to the facts?

It is time to pull down this “fairy tale” withe the Clintons!!!!!!
