Until recently, I had forgotten...

...what a truly horrible politician Hillary Clinton was. The former secretary of state is beginning to remind me of two other Democratic candidates for president -- whose names escape me right now -- who may have made good chief executives if they could only have campaigned their way out of a paper bag.*

The party elders may find themselves having to coax Joe Biden or Elizabeth Warren or Martin O'Malley or Brian Schweitzer or Bernie Sanders or somebody to run against Mrs. Clinton in 2016 if only to give her some practice ahead of the general election.

Right now, the candidate from 2008 doesn't look rusty so much as downright incompetent.

* Can you imagine losing to George W. Bush? (No wonder Al Gore has gone into hiding.)
