A Modest Proposal

Like many Democrats, I am increasingly dismayed by the potential damage the party could suffer in the general election campaign if we do not soon unite around a candidate and put an end to the acrimony and rancor of the primary. Here's a modest proposal to end the carnage now.

Barack Obama looks to be the presumptive nominee at this point, and is flush with lots of campaign contributions at the moment. How about he approaches Hillary's people and asks her to suspend her campaign in return for two favors to her: (1) his assistance in paying off her massive campaign debt; and (2) her appointment to the United States Supreme Court at the first available opportunity should he be elected president.

Now, wouldn't Hillary make a great Supreme Court Justice? And wouldn't that be a wonderful way to stick it to the Republicans in general -- and the Republican stooges currently sitting on the Supreme Court in particular? What a joy contemplating Hillary and Antonin Scalia negotiating opinions with each other.

Yeah! The Supreme Court appointments are really what it's all about! Send this modest proposal to Obama HQ--and Clinton HQ.

Great idea! I hope the Democrats get it together and focus on the Republicans. It's time for the Republican disaster to exit stage right.
