Today’s myopic, masturbative entry in Not Helping comes from a Bill Curry in Salon, an otherwise respectable source of liberal analysis. A former Bill Clinton staffer and apparently a fan of populist self-cutting, Curry says that Hillary is running a bad campaign. Did I miss something, or is there one yet? At the beginning of the article, Curry says that Rand Paul is winning the race so far. OK, I’ll bite. Is that true? Even he can’t keep a straight face throughout the piece. The heading:

Rand Paul has edged in front of her.

The giveaway:

In two states, she now trails Rand Paul.

Curry is lying before he even puts fingers to computer. Which states are those? He won’t say, much less link to the polls that show this. Two the fuck states. Iowa? New Hampshire? Because those states are not useful at all in predicting who will take the prize. Poor bellewethers, to say the least. You let me know when a nobody like Rand Paul is “edging out” Clinton in a battleground state and then maybe you have my ear. Until then, Bill, shut the goddamn fuck up. You win this week’s prize in Not Helping.
