REPLY TO HILLARY – AT 1:31 P.M. ET:  Piers Morgan, the British journalist who didn't quite make it with a CNN talk show here, now writes a fine column for London's Daily Mail.   In a superb piece, Morgan destroys Hillary Clinton's excuses for losing the election.  He holds nothing back:

Hillary Clinton is on her loser tour.

It’s been going on for a few months now, and it follows a familiar theme: she gives defiant speeches or interviews to empathetic audiences in which she makes it very clear there are myriad reasons why she lost the US election – but absolutely none of them has anything to do with her.

Tuesday, speaking at a ‘Women for Women’ event in New York, Hillary reached dizzying new heights of self-delusion as she tried to explain away the most humiliating loss in American political history.

‘I take absolute personal responsibility,’ she said, and then proceeded to do the complete opposite.

1) It was the Russians’ fault.  Vladimir Putin hates her, she insisted, because she said one of his Russian presidential elections was rigged, so he was determined to wreak revenge by rigging THIS election so she would lose.

She categorised this as ‘unprecedented interference, including from a foreign power whose leader is not a member of my fan club.’

No matter that there remains no hard evidence proving Putin rigged anything, let alone that he did it with Trump’s help, which is another of Hillary’s wild, unsubstantiated claims.

2) It was FBI director James Comey’s fault.  His decision to publicly re-open the investigation into her notorious emails a week before the election swung it Trump’s way. ‘I was on the way to winning,’ she whined. ‘Until a combination of Jim Comey’s letter and Russian Wikileaks raised doubts in the minds of people who were inclined to vote for me but got scared off.’

Hmm, perhaps they were scared off by the fact that someone they already deeply distrusted after decades of dodgy behaviour set up a secret private email server while Secretary of State, a massive and inexcusable breach of protocol. And that she deleted 33,000 emails before investigators could see them. And that the server was linked to Anthony ‘I’ll show you my weiner’ Weiner, the predatory sex-mad husband of her right hand woman Huma Abedin and about as big a security risk imaginable.

COMMENT:  There's much more.  Please read the whole thing.  This is the best summary of the case against Hillary that I've read.  It's timely, as she's now plunging back into politics, perhaps to run again in 2020, or maybe just to settle in as Queen Mother.
