No one had high expectations for Hillary's lost election memoir, What Happened. But it's becoming a very watchable train wreck. It's the literary equivalent of drunk texts. It's a terrible idea by a bitter woman.
Sure, Hillary produces the expected rants about Trump. And she blames the Russians and sexism. And Russian sexism. (I'm not kidding. That's in the book.)
But there are also the attacks on Bernie Sanders. Just when Bernie is doing his own book tour and making his pre-presidential pitch.
The Point covered those yesterday.
And then today, we get slams at Biden and at Obama.
The Democratic nominee defeated by President Trump writes that she found Biden's comments "remarkable" given his own campaigning for her, in which he talked about what she would do for the middle class.
"Joe Biden said the Democratic Party in 2016 'did not talk about what it always stood for — and that was how to maintain a burgeoning middle class,'" Clinton said in her new book, "What Happened," which was obtained by CNN.
"I find this fairly remarkable, considering that Joe himself campaigned for me all over the Midwest and talked plenty about the middle class," she continued.
Biden is obviously positioning himself for 2020. Normally, the loser writes it off. You didn't see McCain taking these shots at Romney. But Hillary is incapable of writing anything off.
Even though Biden never actually ran and did campaign for her, Hillary is consumed with repaying every small slight.
She's more careful with Obama. But he gets some of the blame.
In some of her most biting criticism for her former boss, Clinton also wonders in her book whether a more forceful public response from then-President Barack Obama could have helped remedy the problems caused by Moscow's attempted meddling.
"I do wonder sometimes about what would have happened if President Obama had made a televised address to the nation in the fall of 2016 warning that our democracy was under attack," she writes. "Maybe more Americans would have woken up to the threat in time. We'll never know."
Except Obama didn't do it because the Russian narrative was formed by Clinton insiders. And it took off to explain a defeat that had yet to happen.
Obama didn't see any need to pull out the stops because Hillary was supposed to win. The Russian factor irritated some Clinton associates. But it wasn't seen as decisive.
Still Hillary has to blame everyone. Everyone except her.
