Ask Not For Whom Eight Belles Tolls

Hillary Clinton, in a typically shameless and pointless attempt to make political hay out of anything under the sun, has been hyping the Kentucky Derby all week because a highly regarded filly was racing against a field of males.

That wacky, fun-loving Hillary was so positive that the female horse would win, she even sent Chelsea to Louisville to place a bet and to drum up further publicity for her cause across the border in Indiana.

The filly finished second and tragically suffered two broken ankles, which caused her to be euthanized right there at the track.

The horse that finished first was a male by the name of Big Brown.
