Ding Dong the Bitch Is Gone
2008-06-07 20:05:00 It is a very sad day for dumpy uneducated racists dumb white women everywhere. Hillary Clinton has dropped out, but we imagine she is still privatively hoping for her magic bullet theory to play out. For the press, and especially the Blackdog press, the news is very bitter sweet. Yes we all hate Hillary but many of us were hoping that she would commit suicide on live television. Being the first women to have serious run it would have been appropriate for her down a bottle of red wine with about 30 tylenol. Personally I would have preferred that she drink a bottle of Drano. But really, who are we going to write about now? Please keep running Hillary we are all very very bored (Blackdog Fact # 7 Actor Will Smith was inducted into the white hall of fame in 1999 for his work on Willimium)
