SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – AT 11:55 P.M. ET: 

WHAT, AGAIN? – Hillary Clinton is really falling apart.  In a new interview she uttered the following nonsense:  "Whoever runs has to recognize that the American political system is probably the most difficult, even brutal, in the world.”  Really?  As Washington Post reporter Ed O'Keefe tweeted in response, "Would Indira Gandhi and Benazir Bhutto agree?"  Both female leaders were, of course, murdered.  We have to wonder whether there really is something not right with Hillary.  It's a gaffe a day.

SHADES OF VIETNAM, 1975 – From Fox:  "The Obama administration said Sunday the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad will remain open amid the growing sectarian violence in Iraq but will increase security and that some embassy staff will be temporarily evacuated.  State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the staff will be moved to U.S. Consulate Generals posts in Basra and Erbil and to the Iraq Support Unit in Amman, Jordan.  The embassy is within the Baghdad's Green Zone. It has about 5,000 personnel, making it the largest U.S. diplomatic post in the world."  It's also supposed to be the most secure.  Yeah, right.

CNN RAPPED ON BIAS...BY SHAREHOLDERS – From Breitbart:  "Time Warner Chairman and CEO Jeff Bewkes was blasted for CNN's left-wing bias at Time Warner's annual shareholders meeting Friday. The Hollywood Reporter's Paul Bond reports that Bewkes was confronted by shareholder Justin Danhof of the Free Enterprise Project of the National Center for Public Policy Research, with a litany of complaints about CNN's sharp turn to the left under Jeff Zucker.  Danhof's comments were met with applause from other shareholder."  The bias, and perception of bias, are some of the most important factors in CNN's ratings doldrums.  But the people running the cable network refuse to see.
