every word out of hillary clinton's mouth is 'strategic,' as in her obsessive association of herself with obama last night. obviously, she would swing completely the other way at another moment; she has before, and she will again if she's the nominee. good god, is she like that at home with the fam or whatever? anyway, i almost don't see how that happens to a person, how you become someone whose words have floated entirely free of a connection to truth or to the self of the person who utters them. it's very much like hearing someone who responds only to the voices in his head, except that has more content. maybe the right response is just pity, or some sort of diagnosis and treatment. if we were all like that, human communication would be a pointless delusion.
