Do you find a certain irony in this? Even Slate's Mickey Kaus notes it.

Hillaryland Hates Obama: Is It Just Arrogance? Hillary's people "despise Obama," reports David Corn in a fine piece of schmoozalism. They "don't need any prompting in private conversations to decry Obama as a dishonest poser." Hillary has (not uncleverly) asked, """How did running for president become a qualification for being president?" ... Is this just because Obama's presumptuous enough to deny her rightful nomination? Or is there another root-cause complaint that the citizens of Hillaryland can't voice because even though it's true it wouldn't help them: that Obama's an 'affirmative action baby' who's been promoted faster than his merits would ordinarily permit? If he weren't black he'd be Dick Durbin! (Or a more appealing but less experienced version of Dick Durbin) ... That Hillary's cadres can't voice or even permit themselves to think about thinking this thought, of course, might tend to make them even madder. ... P.S: Of course, Hillary is not an affirmative action baby. She got her position the old fashioned way--by marrying it.

Let's be real honest here -- what qualifications does Hillary Clinton REALLY have to be president of the United States? Heck, what qualifications did she have in 2000 to be elected Senator? While a law career makes for nice resume material, name one substantive accomplishment in her life that makes her the best candidate for the highest elected office in America -- other than the fact that she has bedded down with Bill Clinton for the last few decades. If she were Hillary Smith, married to Bob Smith of Anytown, USA, would she ever have won that Senate Seat -- and would she be seen as a serious presidential candidate?

Heck, if we were to look at the Democrats and consider qualifications, Joe Biden and Bill Richardson would be running neck-and-neck for the Democrat nomination.
