The
Drudge News Flash this morning said that Hillary may be dropping out of the Presidential Race. That seems very unlike her. James Carville wants her to tough it out. John Edwards is predicting she'll be out.
Which raises the question -
How will conservative bloggers , pundits, and commentators make their money??????
I am suspicious that many conservatives who write for the Spectator , National Review, or blogs were secretly salivating at the prospect of a Hillary presidency. A tell-all book about Hillary's latest bumblings is an almost guaranteed bestseller. Of course, we conservatives always love to read about her in the magazines and blogs too. Criticizing Hillary is like shooting fish in a barrel, and for conservative media figures, it's also easy money. ( I guess all of the damage she'd do to our national security is just secondary in importance.)
The concept of Hillary dropping out of the race is like Britney getting successful mental health treatment and joining a convent. It's a loss for many "in the know".
So... who will be the next mega-target? It should be Barack Hussein Obama. (As we speak, I am putting together my Obama media binder. ) The conservative media can start by looking for his white grandmother who is in hiding somewhere. We can also dig into his Muslim roots. (I myself may start by visiting that property he bought from a donor at a low low price. Land deals make for good media fodder.)
Let's cross our fingers.
