"Out, Out Damn Spot!"

Frank Rich of the New York Times savages Lady Clinton's war record and divisiveness in the Democratic Party:

For me, the choice is a simple one: the one candidate whose hands are still clean. One shining example of judgement, when the popular pressure was for putting a flag pin on one's lapel and rushing headlong into a war of distastrous proportions, the greatest blunder in American history.

I really hope that I don't have to choose between the lesser of two evils, a choice between two candidates whose hands are stained with the blood of over 100,000 innocent men, women and children. 

The war in Iraq has been dead wrong since day one. I really hope that the candidate who has taken a stand, since the beginning, for what is right and not for what was  politically convenient, is the one for whom I'll be able to cast my vote. I would like to keep my hands clean, too.

No flag lapel pin because it is a false invocation of patriotism and then when you get into trouble a backdrop of eight flags.
