What'll be? Hemorrhoids or chlamydia?

Hillary just won't go away. The annoying itching irritation that arises whenever she voices another misinformed, misguided, miscreant opinion is enough to make a soul grab a scalpel and slice off the offending body part.

Thank the Lord for the mute button on remote control devices else my ears would have been gone years ago.

Certain dread diseases are not curable. They might go away for a while but eventually they come back with ugly pus-filled sores that itch, fester and ooze. They're painful and embarrassing.

Hillary Clinton is like that.

Just when we thought she'd gone away, she's flaring up worse than ever. She has a new book out, for which she's started tours. You have to pay money to come to the book tour to hear her pitch this book that she wants you to pay money to buy to read about what a generous person she is.

There are no creams, salves or ointments that can cure the the case of Hillaritis that afflicts the nation's tender political bits. America will scratch itself raw before she finally utters her final self-aggrandizing "Ohhhhh, what a world, what a world!" and disappears in a foul cloud of disappointed ambition. And just like Oz's Wicked Witch, even her army of flying monkeys has had their fill of her. Time to move on and select another socialist loser.

We shouldn't be surprised. This is the woman who was charging public universities and charities a quarter million for one-hour speeches.

This book — her latest vehicle for monetizing the American political system — is about how she was humiliated by an amateur in the last election. It's called "What Happened."

Everyone else already knows what happened. The Dems nominated a selfish and charmless candidate who ran an abysmal campaign.

At This Point, What Difference Does It Make?

In her new book “What Happened”, Hillary compared herself to, of all people, Cersei Lannister from Game of Thrones.

The Ice Cube In Heels notes she was treated by the crowds at her opponent’s rallies the same way the residents of the fictional Westeros did towards disgraced ruler Cersei Lannister during her ignoble walk of shame.

If the twice-failed presidential candidate sought to elicit sympathy for being hideously shamed she picked one hell of an absurd comparison.  The Mad Queen and the Hag Queen are sickeningly analogous in their cruelty.

Cersei’s brother Tyrion warned, “A day will come when you think you are safe and happy and your joy will turn to ashes in your mouth.”

Clinton lost a race few thought possible and is now the Queen of Ashes.  Taking fantasy into real life, Jon Snow’s words to Cersei in the Dragonpit in Season 7 are noteworthy: “When enough people make false promises words stop meaning anything and then there are no more answers only better and better lies.”  Benghazi. Email server. Vince Foster. Pay-to-play. Clinton Foundation.

David Remnick, writing for The New Yorker:

“The wounds that the new book opens are not just Clinton’s. A few nights before meeting with her, I was at dinner with a political professional who worked on her 2008 campaign. I mentioned that I was going to interview Clinton, and sought his advice about what I should ask. He put down his fork and scowled. ‘Ask her why she blew the biggest slam dunk in the history of fucking American politics!’ he said. A few diners at adjacent tables looked up. ‘Oh, and ask her if she is going to donate the millions of dollars she’s gonna make on this book to charity. Ask her: Why should you profit from this disaster?’ There was more of this.”

“On the day I was to see Clinton, I read an article in Politico headlined “Democrats Dread Hillary’s Book Tour.” Unnamed ‘alums’ from her Brooklyn campaign headquarters told the reporters that the promotion of ‘What Happened was ‘the final torture.’  Others joked about how many stops she’d make in Wisconsin in her campaign to sell books. A top Democratic donor said that Clinton ‘should just zip it, but she’s not going to.’ Senator Claire McCaskill, a Democrat from Missouri, was asked about the book; she replied, ‘Beg your pardon?’ and walked away. Her colleague from Oregon, Ron Wyden, said, ‘I’ve always been a looking-forward kind of guy. I think I’ll leave it at that.’”

As a Republican, I encourage Hillary Clinton to continue talking for as long as she'd like

The Seven Kingdoms Minus Wisconsin

Kings Landing─In her new book “What Happened”, her campaign memoir chronicling the 2016 presidential election, Hillary compared herself to Cersei Lannister a character from HBO’s runaway hit “Game of Thrones”.

“It’s not easy for any woman in politics, but I think it’s safe to say that I got a whole other level of vitriol flung my way. Crowds at Trump rallies called for my imprisonment more times than I can count. They shouted, ‘Guilty! Guilty!’ like the religious zealots in Game of Thrones chanting ‘Shame! Shame! while Cersei Lannister walked back to the Red Keep…What in the world was this? I’ve been in politics for a long time, but I was taken aback by the flood of hatred that seemed to only grow as we got closer to Election Day.”

Has Granny finally come to terms with her naked self-promotion, unbridled ruthlessness and hunger to sit upon the Iron Throne?  Her sole desire was for us to bend the knee.

Cersei’s brother Tyrion warned, “A day will come when you think you are safe and happy and your joy will turn to ashes in your mouth.”

"I have come to terms with the fact that a lot of people—millions and millions of people—decided they just didn’t like me,” Clinton writes—though she doesn’t understand the dislike. “What makes me such a lightning rod for fury? I’m really asking…I’m at a loss.”

Hell’s Bells. We Know What Happened.

Beginning today, Amazon Prime is streaming The Tick─a story about the exploits of a blue-clad superhero and his crime fighting cronies.

The Tick once told The Evil Midnight Bomber, “If you’re gonna be a real villain, you gotta get a gimmick.”

MSNBC’s Morning Joe featured an exclusive audio clip in advance of Hillary’s new book “What Happened.”  By now everyone knows the excerpt contained a passage where the cankerous pack mule of an old woman experienced an ongoing trickle of anxiety with her opponent following her closely, staring at her and making faces.  “It was incredibly uncomfortable.  He was literally breathing down my neck.  My skin crawled.”

Granny’s gimmick has always been to play the victim.
