John Cole is ecstatic at HRC misfortune:

One of my clown colleagues was taken by "Our Lady of Inevitability".

Obama should be safe

I've heard a lot of talk about how Barack Obama might get assassinated because he's black, but I can't understand why. Every single President who has been assassinated in the history of the United States has been a white male. Every. Single. One. In fact, I have it on good authority that every single attempted assassination has been directed against a white male President. If history is any guide, Obama should be safe.

...indeed, with an assassination rate exceeding 9%, President of the United States would appear to be an extraordinarily dangerous job for white men. It would almost be irresponsible to elect someone other than a woman or non-white man.

Lots of attention to the RFK quote, not so much to this, which strikes me as rather more odd.

Desperation..
