In a word: Animatronic

Hillary Clinton's frightening appearance before the DemoCon last night was all the more bizarre for the contrast with her husband, whom she introduced. She was like an angry robot running on 125% of normal power. Bubba, on the other hand, was like the abusive father who comes home after rehab and promises that everything will be better from now on. He had everyone crying and gnashing their teeth by the time he was done. Every person in the hall, and every sympathetic Dem watching on TV, had two thought balloons floating over their heads:

  1. I hate him for lousing up what might have been.
  2. He is so fucking human -- especially in contrast to his wife.
