Hillary Rodham Clinton yesterday visited Mount Rushmore for a photo op beneath the stony visages of four legendary presidents - as the national Democratic Party dealt a blow to her hopes of ever joining them.
Clinton, who’s stumping hard in advance of Tuesday’s ballot in South Dakota - which will vote with Montana in the final primaries - insisted there was no deeper meaning to her choice of locale.
“This is a tourist occasion,” she told reporters who shouted questions to her, including whether she thought she or her ex-president husband should on the South Dakota monument with George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln.

As reporters called out to one of her aides to step aside and stop blocking their view of her as she gazed at the massive rock, Clinton eventually turned around. “Why don’t you go learn something about the monument?” she sniped, appearing “visibly annoyed,” according to a CBS account.
Clinton stumped as the lawyers for the Democratic National Committee delivered a setback to her campaign - and Obama predicted the party would settle on a nominee shortly after Tuesday’s contests.
“At that point, all the information will be in,” he said.
“There will be no more questions unanswered. I suspect that whatever remaining superdelegates [there are] will be able to make their decisions pretty quickly.” ….. | Complete Election Coverage from The Post |
