Some might call it fratricide, others “(not so) friendly fire,” or I could be crass and label it “entertainment.”

Elenor Clift discusses the possibility to come: “Settling Scores. If Hillary Clinton finds a way to win, she’ll have a long list of grudges and grievances:”

I’m beginning to think Hillary Clinton might pull this off and wrestle the nomination away from Barack Obama. If she does, a lot of folks—including a huge chunk of the media—will join Bill Richardson (a.k.a. Judas) in the Deep Freeze. If the Clintons get back into the White House, it will be retribution time, like the Corleone family consolidating power in “The Godfather,” where the watchword is, “It’s business, not personal.”
[…]

Actually, at another level, I am saddened that “power politics” has become a contact sport, and the Clintons (and others, too) seem to be very cavalier about wrecking peoples live to ensure they have the access to the halls of power. And, for all the calls to “unite,” the very leadership displays actions that punish, rather than heal. If those at the top are doing so, is it unreasonable to expect anything less from the followers?
