Of course, Hillary Clinton is back. I am convinced she will run for the presidency as many times as it takes to win -- even if she is still being wheeled through the streets of Iowa at 108, kept alive by robotics and a refusal to surrender.

And even though the shock of Trump's election victory is receding as we become more involved in just how bad he is at governing, for Clinton it will never ebb as the most stunning rebuke possible. Hillary Clinton was beaten by Donald J Trump. That is like losing the Oscar for best picture to "Police Academy VI." After that kind of humiliation, most people would quit politics and go live in a cabin. Not Hillary. She still needs us to remember who she is.

This is typical of politicians. To succeed in this game you need to be sensitive enough to need to be loved but shallow enough to weather the hate. Trump is an extreme version of this. He appears to feel criticism deeply and yet he also invites it. Perhaps it's better to be talked about horribly than not at all.

And, really, what's wrong with this? Like Hillary, these statesmen all have experience to share, wisdom to impart. As the country sails into uncertain waters under Captain Trump, doesn't it make sense to stop and listen to the views of Hillary Clinton -- an intellectually gifted former secretary of state, no less?

No. In this instance, no. And the reason is quite simply that it's too soon. Too soon since Hillary Clinton lost the election and gave the White House to Trump -- because, regardless of what strengths Trump might have had, 2016 was ultimately an election for the Democrats to lose.

I have no doubt that almost any other candidate could have beaten Trump. Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, Alec Baldwin, Big Bird. It turns out that the one candidate who could lose was Hillary.

There is a post-politics role for Clinton, but it cannot be just yet. Her party needs a period in which to separate from her memory -- to rebuild, find new candidates, reestablish its identity and delink itself from the entire Clinton philosophy.

Hillary Clintonsaid shes ready to come out of the woods after keeping a low profile since her shocking election defeat in November, but Bill Maher thinks she should just stay in there.

On Fridays Real Time with Bill Maher, the 61-year-old comedian said the former Democratic presidential nominee had her chance and blew it.

Hillary, stay in the woods, OK? You had your shot. You fed it up. Youre Bill Buckner, Mr. Maher said. We had the World Series, and you let the grounder go through your legs. Let someone else have the chance.

The fact that shes coming back, it just verifies every bad thing anyones ever thought about the Clintons, that its all about them, Mr. Maher said. Let some of the other shorter trees get a little sunlight.

Neera Tanden, president of the liberal think tank Center for American Progress, disagreed with Mr. Maher, saying Mrs. Clinton has every right to speak out on an issue that shes worked on for decades of her life.

Yeah, but what did she speak about? Mr. Maher asked. Shes speaking out because Bill OReilly made a joke about Maxine Waters hair.

The comedian was referring to Mr. OReillys now-retracted joke thatblack Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters wears a James Brown wig. Mrs. Clinton called the joke racist during a speech last week in San Francisco.

She spoke out against racism and sexism, Ms. Tanden said.

She spoke out about a joke, Mr. Maher added. You know what, this is why the Democrats lost the election in the first place. Because they cannot get their priorities straight, and they never fail to take the bait about little bulls issues.

Former Republican Sen. Rick Santorum, who was also on the show, said the left should stop being outraged at every offense.

Stop the fake outrage, he said.

Its not fake! Its not fake outrage, Ms. Tanden responded.

It is fake outrage, Mr. Santorum interjected. Well, if it isnt fake outrage then you should learn to take a joke and move on.

Former Florida Rep. Joe Scarborough said Monday his pet rock could have toppled Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election, thanks to all the baggage she carried into the contest.

My pet rock could have gotten 45 percent against Hillary Clinton, Mr. Scarborough said on MSNBCs Morning Joe. Maybe if my pet rock didnt make any gaffes in the three debates, my pet rock could have beaten Hillary Clinton.

Mr. Scarborough, a Republican, said the election was not about President Trump, who won the electoral college and lost the popular vote to Mrs. Clinton by a 48 percent to 46 percent margin.

This election was not about Donald Trump, he said. It was all about Hillary and Bill Clinton.

Hillary Clinton supporters just cant get over Susan Sarandon aggressively advocating for Bernie Sanders, which they think contributed to Donald Trumps election victory.

Sarandon refused to dial down her criticism of Clinton even as Sanders dropped out of the race. In return, liberals with long memories are boycotting her performance as screen legend Bette Davis on FX anthology TV series Feud.

You would have thought that people watching Ryan Murphys dramatization of the feud between Davis and Joan Crawford (played by Jessica Lange) from Hollywoods bygone age that premiered on FX last month wouldwell let bygones be bygones.

No such luck. Lefties are still mad at Sarandon and despite saying they very much want to watch the new show from Murphy, who createdThe People v. O.J. Simpson, are posting tortured tweets:

Somehow we think Sarandon will get over not being watched by this insurrectionist Feud network!
