An open letter to a sore loser...

Mrs. Clinton,
Ok, now go away.
At the beginning I couldn't have been a more avid supporter. With 2 daughters (and a son) I was practically drooling at the thought of such a groundbreaking run for, and win of, the presidency by someone I believed to be the most competent, able person on the scene. That you're a woman was just gravy...
BUT Mrs. Clinton, you blew it so many times in so many ways I can no longer even support you for VP, and I truly believe that you achieved the exact opposite of what you thought you were setting out to do. I believe you've now singlehandedly set the Women's Movement back a millenium, no mean feat.
You've proven yourself to be a truth-stretcher (if not an outright liar), and you and your husband (who until now has been my political idol) have proven to be just another pair of disgusting, filthy-fighting DC insiders who will stop at NOTHING to win what is not yours. Under fire in Bosnia? More people voted for you than anyone in primary history? It took the comic Sinbad (for God's sake) to blow the first lie, and your run in Michigan, in spite of an agreement NOT to run there, to validate the second. And those are just 2 of the myriad disgusting things you both have done, worst of which is the gender AND race baiting. Jeeeezzzz.
The absolute final straw was what I consider to be the single most UNgracious, UNflattering, NONconcession speech you delivered last night. In the face of Mr. Obama's CLEAR win, you had one final chance to step up, and you clearly blew it.
GET SOME CLASS, MRS. CLINTON. Go back to carpetbagging in NY, and stay out of National politics. The country will be better served by your disappearance from the scene, and we will all enjoy the fruits of Mr. Obama's presidency far more without you being the big ugly worm in the apple.
