Clinton's Speech  —  I probably shouldn't write any more about this woman and her staff.  Suffice it to say that I've found her behavior over the past couple of months to be utterly unconscionable and this speech is no different.  I think if I were to try to express how I really feel …

Andrew Sullivan / The Daily Dish:
The Clintons Threaten  —  The speech tonight was a remarkable one for a candidate who has lost the nomination, though not remarkable for a Clinton.  It was an assertion that she had won the nomination and a refusal to concede anything to her opponent.  Classless, graceless, shameless, relentless.
