What was by far the longest build-up ever to an announcement of a presidential candidacy -- at least six years, I think -- is finally finished.
Hillary Clinton says she's "starting a discussion."
"Let's talk, let's chat," she says. "Let the conversation begin."
She isn't the first politician to use these vacuous terms to launch a campaign and probably won't be the last.
It makes you long for the days when politicians would throw a set of ideas out for all to see and ask people to support them.
Could you imagine Margaret Thatcher launching a campaign by announcing she's running to "have a discussion"?
Come on. Candidates for high office can and should do better.
UPDATE (12:15 pm): Ah, the irony. Just saw this.
