Shameless HiIllary blames all of us for her sick "assassination" remarks on Friday, which have redefined the Macaca moment

[NOTE FROM JOHN: I had to add the word "assassination" to Joe's title because he refuses to even write the word. That's how much of a taboo there is about it. Hillary's use of the word assassination was vulgar and intentional - she'd done it before, she wasn't just "tired." And her defense of it now, blaming everyone else, rather than simply apologizing and taking full blame, is childish and arrogant, and sickening. Any human being with a shred of dignity left would concede this race.]

Clinton's comments invoking the assassination of Robert Kennedy have caused a firestorm. Those insensitive and ill-timed remarks pretty much ended her presidential campaign and whatever dim hopes she had of being V.P.

Watching and reading commentary today has been fascinating.

Today, Clinton blamed everyone else for taking her comments out of context:

Almost immediately, some took my comments entirely out of context and interpreted them to mean something completely different - and completely unthinkable.

I want to set the record straight: I was making the simple point that given our history, the length of this year's primary contest is nothing unusual.

Once again, she's the smartest person ever -- and everyone else is wrong. Oh, she's also staying in the race. Big surprise. But, what she doesn't get is that there is no context that would make what she said acceptable.

It doesn't matter how Hillary Clinton or her flacks try to spin those remarks. When George Allen had his macaca moment, it took some time for it to circulate. And, the video required a bit more explanation. We had to learn what "macaca" meant. We had to know that the person at whom it was aimed was Siddarth, an American of Indian descent. It took a couple extra steps to put the pieces in place.

Not so with Clinton's remarks. The video wasn't just on YouTube. It was everywhere. It is everywhere. And, no explanation is required. Anyone who sees the video knows exactly what she is saying. It's jarring. The very words she uses in the context of the current political situation speak for themselves. No one has to provide additional context or definition. That's why, for Clinton, this redefines the Macaca moment.

Clinton can blame everyone else. But, she's at fault here. And, she's the one who destroyed the last shreds of her credibility. Watch the video again.
