I've been thing about the Dem race lately and Obama's insurmountable lead with the elected delegates and this scene keep coming back to me. Courtesy of Animal House (the movie):
D-Day: War's over, man. Wormer dropped the big one.
Bluto: Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
Otter: [whispering] Germans?
Boon: (also whispering) Forget it, he's rolling.
Bluto: And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough..........................................the tough get goin'! Who's with me? Let's go! [runs out, alone; then returns because nobody follows]
What the fuck happened to the Delta I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts, huh? "Ooh, we're afraid to go with you Bluto, we might get in trouble." Well just kiss my ass from now on! Not me! I'm not gonna take this. Wormer, he's a dead man! Marmalard, dead! Niedermeyer -
Otter: Dead! Bluto's right. Psychotic, but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part.
Bluto: We're just the guys to do it.
D-Day: Let's do it.
Bluto: LET'S DO IT!! [They go out and reek havoc.]
In real life, however, Hillary is not a Delta House Member. I can more readily picture her hanging with Dean Wormer and that crowd. Marmalard, anyone? The problem now is that Hillary's fans (they gotta be reaching wingnut classifications) have decided that they are gonna be the ones to decide when "its over."
Anyway, when you hear some Clintonite saying in a serious tone that the Victory is Around The Corner, or that there is light at the end of the tunnel ..... you don't gotta take em seriously. They are either going to destroy the party to win the nomination or bow out .
