Damsel and distress

Peggy Noonan stands amazed at just how far the Clintons will go to further Hillary's quest for the presidency. Or at least as amazed as one can be to see the Clinton psychdrama play out yet again.

To play the race card as Mrs. Clinton has, to highlight and encourage a sense that we are crudely divided as a nation, to make your argument a brute and cynical "the black guy can't win but the white girl can" is -- well, so vulgar, so cynical, so cold, that once again a Clinton is making us turn off the television in case the children walk by.
