Bill & Hill plan Denver drama

Maureen Dowd at the New York Times has got her pretty red head all in a dither. She’s shouting out a warning to Obama, far away in Hawaii on vacation, that meanwhile back at home, Bill and his lovely wife Bruno are hatching a deep, dark plot to steal the show at the Denver convention.

Can Hillary pull off such a dastardly deed as stealing the nomination from the Anointed One, the Obamessiah? Dowd warns Yes, She Can

While Obama was spending three hours watching “The Dark Knight” five time zones away, and going to a fund-raiser featuring “Aloha attire” and Hawaiian pupus, Hillary was busy planning her convention.

You can almost hear her mind whirring: She’s amazed at how easy it was to snatch Denver away from the Obama saps. Like taking candy from a baby, except Beanpole Guy doesn’t eat candy. In just a couple of weeks, Bill and Hill were able to drag No Drama Obama into a swamp of Clinton drama.

Now they’ve made Barry’s convention all about them — their dissatisfaction and revisionism and barely disguised desire to see him fail. Whatever insincere words of support the Clintons muster, their primal scream gets louder: He can’t win! He can’t close the deal! We told you so!

Hillary’s orchestrating a play within the play in Denver. Just as Hamlet used the device to show that his stepfather murdered his father, Hillary will try to show the Democrats they chose the wrong savior.

It’s OK, Obama. Party on. Maureen’s just feeling a little paranoid. What could possibly go wrong? Bill and Hill wouldn’t dare stab you in the back.
