Death in Kentucky
Straight from Mark Halperin's The Page: "YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS UP: Hillary Clinton enthusiastically picked a filly named Eight Belles to win the Kentucky Derby and compared herself to the horse. Eight Belles finished second. The winner was the favorite, Big Brown. Eight Belles collapsed immediately after crossing the finish line, and was euthanized shortly thereafter." (posted at 8:10 pm.)

Between this and her comparison of herself to Rocky Balboa (where, to poorly paraphrase SNL, "the old white guy comes to be defeated by the young black guy"), I'd think it might be time for her to start reading the signs and throw in the towel. So to speak.
(this article is hilarious)

My God.... I agree with D.Z.
That's all I'm thinking. That poor horse. TWO broken ankles and instant euthanisation. Sad.

Walter: The one that really saddened me was that tiger they had to put down in SF last year. If the manager wasn't too cheap to chip in for a deeper pit, and if those dumb jerks had just let it alone, nothing would have happened.

Damn Bush-Cheney for gutting the tiger pit regulation in this country under pressure from their buddies in Big Animal!

Only someone as childish as Wells could take a freak accident

and turn it into a prediction. Of course Hillary routed for the filly. Duh.

Making joke about politics and politicians is all good but, Wells, don't turn this tragedy into another political punchline. That horse literally ran itself to death and deserves much much better than to be used as a dig against Senator Clinton.

I feel bad for the horse too, but even as a die-hard Clintonista I have to admit the parallel is a little funny...

Mark Halperin is an idiot. He's wrong, wrong.
Eight Belles didn't collapse immediately after crossing the finish line.
Eight Belles was IMMEDIATELY euthanized after collapsing, not shortly thereafter. Get it straight asswipe.
Hillary didn't have time to be enthusiastic, the decision to run her wasn't made long before the race. But once she was, it's a foregone conclusion Hillary would pick her.
This is a twisted mixed case of anthropomorphization and allegory. Hillary should apologize for all of you.
