The media is in a frenzy ... Hillary Clinton has gone to Iowa to "attend Tom Harkin's annual Steak Fry" ... acting coy and coquettish about whether she will seek the presidency in 2016. Makes me want to heave to see she and husband, Billy Bob, playing the frenzied crowd like a harp ... see: New York Times' Saccharin Coverage. Isn't this the exact same kind of cult-of-personality mindless adulation that got us into our current governance morass?
Such glorification makes for a big head ... but an even bigger bank account. Hillary Clinton, until such time as she decides (from on high) about her run for the Oval Office, can still command her astronomical speaking fees (maybe even higher ones) and she and Billy Bob can also extort hefty donations to the Clinton Foundation ... as potential access grease for when she would be president.
And this is why I believe that she won't run ... repeat won't run ... and why she will put this Macbeth-like decision off for as long as the national media will tolerate. By then she will likely have feathered her nest and that of the Clinton Foundation to the tune of mega millions ... enough to spend her last years in plutocratic luxury ... and keep Billy Bob in bimbos.
