Quote of the Day

My quote of the day and the runner-up both come from former Reagan speech writer Peggy Noonan. They both come from the same article and deal with Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
First, the runner-up deals with the apparent hollowness of Clinton’s “haughty facade” of an Iowa campaign. “It takes a Potemkin Village,” Noonan wrote.
The winner describes supporters who may not like Hillary so much, but may vote for her in hopes of getting Bill Clinton back in the White House:
“Maybe they’d love to have him back in the White House. Maybe they just don’t want him to bring her. Maybe they miss the Cuckoo’s Nest and they’d love having Jack Nicholson’s McMurphy running through the halls. Maybe they just don’t miss Nurse Ratched. Does she have to come?”
