Six weeks until the Pennsylvania primary and I think I'd rather be bonded to a toilet seat.
As predicted, Olbermann's Special Comment last night was pointed, but pointed specifically at Hillary Clinton's campaign and her inner circle, not the candidate itself. Which is fine; it gives him some wiggle room, doesn't immediately render her deaf as most criticism does, draws a distinction which gives her plausible deniability should she seek to reassert control and sanity to her campaign. But I'm not holding my breath.
Here's an excellent analysis of HRC's campaign and its current tenor -- Character as Destiny: The Clintonian Narcissism of 2008. It borders on sociopathy. And like all opportunists, those in Camp Clinton have reached the conclusion that even a scorched earth campaign which devastates the party, vulgarizes the discourse even more than it already is vulgarized, and alienates millions of people who actually have come to hope for real change in this country, is worth the cost of a possible win.
Six weeks of this. Anarchy has its appeal.
