Team Obama Assimilates Clintonites
After spending all primary season complaining about what a policy lightweight Barack Obama was, now a whole pack of bigwig Clinton advisors have joined the Obama team. The gal with the robot rash on her forehead will proffer advice on the Middle East, while Madeleine Albright will lurk angrily in the background when Obama gives speeches. This is all a perfectly normal part of the political process wherein the winner slowly metabolizes the loser, leaving only a dry loser-shaped husk behind for its grieving relatives to worship.
