Tired of hearing about Hillary Clinton’s emails?

While other policy makers have used personal email accounts to conduct business — Sarah Palin, Karl Rove, and Scott Walker come to mind — Hillary is the prohibitive favorite to become the next president of the United States and that means this one is a big hairy deal.</p><p style="border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; font-family: 'PT Sans'; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27.8999996185303px; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(80, 80, 80);">Mostly to a political press that wants a horse race and not a blow-out in 2016, and to Republicans whose ‘deep bench’ is loaded with bench players and not starters.</p><p style="border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; font-family: 'PT Sans'; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27.8999996185303px; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(80, 80, 80);">Short of an email with ‘#Benghazi #LOL” in the subject line, or Hillary signing off on all of her emails with “<em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">Death to America, comrades!</em>” whatever we are calling this ‘scandal’ is unlikely to have much effect should she be the 2016 Democratic nominee.</p><p style="border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; font-family: 'PT Sans'; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27.8999996185303px; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(80, 80, 80);">Let us count the reasons why…</p><p style="border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; font-family: 'PT Sans'; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27.8999996185303px; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(80, 80, 80);"><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">They are the Clintons-</strong></p><p style="border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; font-family: 'PT Sans'; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27.8999996185303px; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(80, 80, 80);">No matter how you slice it, Bill and Hillary Clinton come as a package deal. During their public careers they have been accused of murder, rape, drug dealing, kidnapping, insider trading, shady land deals, communism, perjury, cronyism, accepting foreign money for a “global Initiative” (go figure why they would do<em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;"> that</em>), hanging crack pipes on the White house Christmas tree, and being a lesbian (Hillary only, but Bill swings that way towards the ladies too.) Out of all of that, the only thing that stuck was a blow job, which made Bill more popular than ever.</p><p style="border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; font-family: 'PT Sans'; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27.8999996185303px; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(80, 80, 80);">It’s not that they are squeaky clean on some of these counts — they’re not — it’s just that the GOP has cried wolf so many times, nobody listens to them anymore when it comes to the Clinton’s.</p><p style="border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; font-family: 'PT Sans'; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27.8999996185303px; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(80, 80, 80);">Which leads us to…</p><p style="border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; font-family: 'PT Sans'; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27.8999996185303px; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(80, 80, 80);"><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">The Republicans-</strong></p><p style="border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; font-family: 'PT Sans'; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27.8999996185303px; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(80, 80, 80);">After spending eight years investigating the Clintons and six years investigating President Obama, the GOP looks like it is made up of the love children of Javert and Inspector Clouseau. Once a Democrat becomes president they immediately begin investigations and convene oversight hearings in an effort to delegitimize the newly elected president – and they never ever stop. Millions of dollars later, all they’ve got to show for their efforts so far Bill Clinton’s well-worn penis. Call it overreach, call it obsessive-compulsive behavior, they just can’t help themselves from treating every so-called scandal as if it was the End of the American Experiment in Democracy.</p><p style="border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; font-family: 'PT Sans'; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27.8999996185303px; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(80, 80, 80);"><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">The press-</strong></p><p style="border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; font-family: 'PT Sans'; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27.8999996185303px; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(80, 80, 80);">As <a href="http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/03/clinton-emails-115847.html#.VPs8Ikb0BHA" style="color: rgb(56, 56, 56); border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: bold; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; text-decoration: none; -webkit-transition: color 300ms, background-color 300ms, opacity 300ms; transition: color 300ms, background-color 300ms, opacity 300ms;" target="_blank">Jack Shafer notes</a>, the press will stay on this until something else shiny catches their eye and their editors say Hillary email stories aren’t even clicky with headlines like, ‘One weird trick Hillary Clinton used to avoid scrutiny.’ While the Clintons play a long game, the press has to deal with a public with the attention span of a sugared-up toddler.
