You'll Never Draw a Taxpayer Dime in This Town Again.

Journalists working this Saturday, or the Sunday shows,
ought to ask Mrs. Clinton if she disavows her work with Philippe Reines.*  He sat much closer to the Washington seats of power than David Duke -- though never exactly in 'em -- bringing his puckish sense of humor to his job in wartime Washington.

He doesn't have the educational background, nor the sense of propriety to get a high-level security clearance.**  He was a boyish jokester -- a wannabe stand-up in a sit-down job -- drawing a public paycheck.

No joke:  ask her if people like this will continue to surround her in Washington.  (and for heaven's sake, somebody teach her how to hit Control P, to print her own emails.)

* Then they ought to find Tom Donilon and ask him if Mrs. Clinton has been in touch to apologize profusely, and disavow herself from Reines directly.

If not, the people voting in the Democratic primary ought to throw their support behind Bernie Sanders so they'll at least lose with an honest dignity come November.  There's no way Clinton can win now if she still thinks "fixers" like this -- who only help break things then move on letting other clean up after them -- are to be respected and employed.

Call Rahm Emanuel too and ask him how his pugnacious, better-than-you, unaccountable style is working out in helping him lead in the long run.  Jon Gruber too.  We're cleaning out the Washington stables folks. Take it elsewhere.

Of course, I believe a-change is gonna come in Chicago one day too...

Long-term visionary.
(Vision is scary...)

**  Look up Benjamin Rhodes' background too, and tell me if you think your company's Human Resources director would consider him qualified under any algorithm for a big political job in Washington.   Voters are rejecting the "who you know" for the "what you know" candidates, and what we know is growing every day.
