Hillary's portable 'person of color'
Sweetness & Light notices what appears to be same p.o.c. appearing behind Hillary Clinton at the podium addressing campaign rallies in three states, providing a suitable ‘diversity' for her human backdrop.
Meanwhile, Dana Milbrank of the Washington Post portrays the reality behind the façade of campaign photo ops.
2:57 p.m., Yeager Airport, Charleston, W.Va.: A steep descent brings Clinton's plane to Charleston's hilltop airport. After an appropriate wait, she steps from the plane and pretends to wave to a crowd of supporters; in fact, she is waving to 10 photographers underneath the airplane's wing. She pretends to spot an old friend in the crowd, points and gives another wave; in fact, she is waving at an aide she had been talking with on the plane minutes earlier.
Former MSM friends of the Clintons are tossing her over the side in the rush to portray Obama as a winner.
