Well, there she was again, with more of the Hillary flim-flammery.

After her Kentucky win, Clinton again claimed, speciously, to be winning the popular vote.

She again claimed, pathetically, that the votes in Florida and Michigan ought to be counted, when she had agreed that they wouldn’t be at the outset.

She again moved the delegate goalposts to the 2,210 yard line, from the 2,025 marker where it has been all along.

And she again stabbed the person who is almost certain to be the nominee of her party, even though she said that she wants to unite the party for a crucial Democratic win in the fall.

Even as Barack Obama was about to lavish her with praise, she threw knife after knife at him, saying we need “a President ready, willing, and able to lead.”

Now Obama is certainly willing to lead.

But Clinton kept implying that he’s not ready to be president, “on day one,” as she insists, ad nauseam.

And she insinuated that he’s not even “able.”

“We are in this race,” she said, “because we believe it will take a commander-in-chief with the strength and knowledge to end the war in Iraq, safely and quickly, and a president with experience, representing the people of the United States in more than 80 countries, to restore our leadership and moral authority in the world.”

Note how she suggested that Obama won’t get us out of Iraq “safely,” and how she once again cites her tours as First Lady as requisite for the office of the Presidency.

“The stakes are high,” she warned, obviously addressing the remaining undeclared superdelegates who’ve been sitting on their hands so long they’ve lost all sensation in their fingertips. “After all this country has been through the past seven years, we have to get this right.” We need to elect, she said, “someone who is best prepared to address the enormous challenges facing our country in these difficult times.”

She asked, rhetorically, “Who’s ready to rebuild the economy, end the war in Iraq, and protect our national security as commander-in-chief?”

The question hints at a two-part answer, and the second part does the Democratic Party no good.

Many of the lines that Hillary Clinton used could have been uttered by John McCain.

And probably will.
