Hilary appeared on the One show (BBC) the other week plugging her new book 'What happened' ....You lost!!!!.... But I guess when you're that self important a book helps sooth the soul and the bank balance.
So this is where we are? Two next door neighbors with a long standing feud have a little tussle. I'll bet its over their shared lawn. And we label it Anti-Republican violence.
Two neighbors, who have some sort of history, and all of a sudden the attack is not by some upset nut but by an anti-republican. The real story here is the stretch to make this story into something political.
I suppose the guy in Texas today was not a nut case but rather anti-baptist.

Wow
I wonder if one of them had a dog? Poop always sets things off.
(CNN)The attorney representing the man who was charged with assaulting Sen. Rand Paul said Monday that attacking the Kentucky Republican had "absolutely nothing" to do with politics.
"The unfortunate occurrence of November 3 has absolutely nothing to do with either's politics or political agendas," a statement by attorney Matthew Baker said. "It was a very regrettable dispute between two neighbors over a matter that most people would regard as trivial."
Baker is representing Paul's neighbor, Rene Boucher, who was charged with attacking Paul. In the statement, Baker also noted the two worked together when they "were both practicing physicians."
Paul sustained five rib fractures, including three displaced fractures and bruised lungs after a neighbor allegedly assaulted him while at his home in Bowling Green, Kentucky, a senior adviser told CNN on Sunday.
"We sincerely hope that Senator Paul is doing well and that these two gentlemen can get back to being neighbors as quickly as possible," Baker's statement Monday said.
Paul also spoke out Sunday about the incident: "Kelley and I appreciate the overwhelming support after Friday's unfortunate event," Paul wrote on Facebook. "Thank you for your thoughts and prayers."
According to the Bowling Green Daily News, Boucher is an anesthesiologist and pain specialist.
CNN previously reported that Boucher was charged with one count of fourth-degree assault. He is currently out of jail after posting $7,500 bail.
Maybe someone was playing their Lynyard Skynyrd Free Bird too loud...
The only thing that occasionally bothers me about my neighbors are the parties they throw. Like, you're 90 years old, how do you stay up till 1 AM for every Blackhawks game, and why do I hear you and your guests?!
FWIW, that the Clintons had huge influence over DNC isn't really that big of a secret. But like Asty said, it's up to each party to decide how to nominate their respective candidates. I guess there might be some state laws in play, too, but they are ultimately private political organizations, not organs of government.
So this is where we are? Two next door neighbors with a long standing feud have a little tussle. I'll bet its over their shared lawn. And we label it Anti-Republican violence.
