[Uninspired by Bill Press’s 'four simple words' parting shot this morning on Air America Radio]
Eight simple words. But why, why??, why can't you say them, Hillary?
John Edwards has already said them*, and nobody even noticed. That's probably what will happen with you too, Hillary. It'll just be water under the bridge, Hill, no one will call you a flip-flopper, or consultant-driven, or a panderer. All you have to say are the eight little words. Trust us on this one!
Don't you understand that no one is blaming you for being lied to and misled by the White House, CIA, Washington Post, New York Times, and the entire mainstream punditocracy. No one is blaming you for trusting a guy who seemed eminently trustworthy at the time, like Colin Powell.

So then, uhh, just say you made a mistake.
