The State of Our Elections

Tony Blankely has a great description of the state of our elections.

Even his wife and benefactor, Teresa Heinz Kerry (or, Teresa Heinz, as she by law had to identify herself on her recently released tax returns) doesn't like him. Whenever he grabs her to give her a smooch in public, she twists out of his clutches. (Her bank accounts weren't so lucky.) When she refers to her "husband" she is referring to the dead one (yes, I know, how can you tell them apart?).

Perhaps the strangest thing about this election campaign is that despite all the vulgarities, lies, and probably criminal vote-stealing going on, the Clintons are largely out of the picture. Apparently American elections have developed to the point where they can be deeply corrupt without the assistance of the boy from Hope and his bride from Yale.
