I will assume that the average hip BMG reader is too young to remember the TV series Columbo.
Every week viewers watched as some rich, successful, arrogant, and condescending douche bag killed a rival or lover in an elaborate and seemingly perfect crime.
Then, after a commercial, Lt. Columbo of LAPD homicide unit showed up at the crime scene looking like a schlep and acting like a schmuck. The killer, usually played by Jack Cassidy, Robert Vaught, or Robert Culp takes a look at Columbo and thinks it will be easier than pie to get away with the brilliant scheme.
Towards the end of the show Columbo has slowly tortured the killer by bugging him with little questions. It’s clear Columbo is on to him. So much so that when Columbo shows up unexpectantly at some event it throws the smooth killer off his game.
Usually he’s talking with people or delivering a speech when he spies Columbo enter from the back. Right away he looses his train of thought then stammers for a few seconds. His heart rate goes up and he suddenly realizes he is not as smart or cool as he thinks.
You have all that? Good. Because that’s been Hillary this week. Except for woman over 60 the average Democratic voter is Columbo to her Roddy McDowell. They’re on to you Hillary. All week you’ve sounding like Jack Cassidy and Jackie Cooper in the last 15 minutes of each episode.
On the other hand Joe Biden is well rested and ready to go. Remember folks, the main reason he didn’t run was he didn’t;’t want a primary fight. Didn’t want to create the problems within the party by declaring war on Hillary.
Guess what, now he doesn’t have to beg the party for the nomination. The party will come calling on him.

If you need any more evidence that Boston is one big Lame-O city take at look at Half Man George Regan and Suffolk University.
Good to see the Half Man doing what he does best: needlessly pissing people off while stroking that huge ego crawling around his punkish and petty personality.
Why do people pay this clown any respect? Because he worked for Kevin White 40 years ago bullying people around city hall and dropping names to lazy press people? Now he has people pay him so they can get their name in the Inside Track.
Sure The Half-Man has friends in high places. But they come and go. Now he’s married to Stan Rosneberg. Big deal. Before that he had Terry Murray.
So you pay George Regan money and he gets your name in the Inside Track telling the world you had dinner at a restaurant owned by one of George’s other clients. He also invites you to parties where there will be a few jablones from a local radio or television station, some local big-feeling execs like Bob Sheridan, a long ago retired athlete, a few former politicians, and a personal injury ambulance chaser like Andrew Meyer Sad, very sad. But hey, having all his clients at his parties works for the Half-Man.
Anyway, the Half-Man earns his pay. Look what he’s doing for Suffolk University. Just a bang-up job. He managed to see to it that every single person associated with it looks comes out looking like shit. Only a real punk like the Half-Man could pull that off.
George gets paid to stroke the egos of insecure rich people.
Another George Regan Party
One More Thing Hillary

Great description of Columbo.
jconway says
Dad was a big fan, and it’s one of the few things my father in law and I liked watching together backed when I lived with them. Great show.
petr says
… none, whatsoever.
It is merely a collection of insults loosely bound with nostalgia and without coherence.
Who uprates this shit? And why?
JimC says
jconway and I did.
There are other channels (diaries), if one chooses.
JimC says
It’s entertaining, even if I don’t agree. And I disagree with the Biden part in this one.
Re: Mr. Regan, I’m not a fan in general but I have to admit I don’t know that much about him.

Hey, batter, batter, swing batter!
I agree with PETR, what the hell are you swinging at? Hillary?, George Regan?, perhaps you just need to take something and sit quietly for a few minutes. You do realize that most pharmacies have a blood pressure tester.
TheBestDefense says
if you know Regan, this one strikes a chord LOL
