Posted: Right next to her "hard-working Americans, white Americans" commentSIOUX FALLS, S.D. -- During a routine question-and answer session last Friday with the well-known and widely read Argus Leader newspaper's editorial board, Democratic presidential hopeless Sen. Hillary Clinton remarked that she should continue her bid for the White House just in case somebody "pulls a 187 and puts a cap in Obama's ass."
Moments later, Clinton tried to put her comments in context by referencing Sen. Robert Kennedy's tragic murder before he was able to secure the 1968 Democratic presidential nomination.
"Somebody's gotta be Number Two," Clinton said, continuing to dig her candidacy's grave. "You don't see people telling Avis Rent-a-Car to stop doing business because they can't beat Hearse. I mean, Hertz. I said Hertz."
The Obama camp responded quickly, criticizing what they called Clinton's careless words.
"Instead of unsubtly hinting at the possibility of an early death for a President Obama, perhaps Sen. Clinton should concentrate more on doing what she does best: shamelessly groveling for the vice-presidential spot," said David Plouffe, Obama's campaign manager.
Not to be outdone, Clinton's campaign hastily organized a press conference at a diner in San Juan, Puerto Rico, where she brandished a .22-caliber rifle sewn into her Oval-Office-blue pantsuit, pulled back the hammer and shot herself in the foot, all while maintaining that creepy, cheeky, concrete smile.
"See how fragile life can be?" she asked rhetorically. "How easily one can go from pandering to a crowd of voters to randomly shooting myself in the foot for no particular ..."
"Ow," she added, before vowing not to seek medical attention because she's a "fighter who doesn't quit," her oft-used catchphrase that confuses principled feminism with just being a sore loser who doesn't know how to bow out gracefully.
