Unhinged Democrat rage is the sole moral touchstone of the nation (as far as the MSM is concerned), but this was directed at the Democrat frontrunner for president.

Not that they had been paying much attention, anyway. St. Hillary’s time as a national hero was certainly short-lived:

Hillary Clinton Draws Boos at Iowa Campaign Event, 1 Day After Hostage Situation.

This happened at a gathering of deranged leftists, which will put the MSM in a bit of a bind. Unhinged Democrat rage is the sole moral touchstone of the nation (as far as the MSM is concerned), but this was directed at the Democrat frontrunner for president. It’s hard to plausibly demonize Republicans for the failure of moonbats to stick to the MSM-provided script.

Still, this drove Debategate off of the MSM radar screen. Not that they had been paying much attention, anyway.

Now a drunk, as it turns out, ( I'm still trying to figure out how that other local mentally ill person got named originally. Some town. ), ties up hundreds of law enforcement people and a presidential candidate hundreds of mile away takes credit for a peaceful resolution. Does anyone else realize how dysfunctional our society has become? 40 years ago, a single local cop would have walked in and knocked the guy to the floor period, not “hostage” teams and SWAT teams and cell phones, and armored cars.

It will be interesting to see if this gives her a boost in the polls. Others do the work, and HRC tries to take the credit by making a statement.
