Clinton Body Count Continues to Rise

The Clinton Body Count continues to rise, as filly Eight Belles is euthanized minutes after a second place win in the Kentucky Derby.
Backed by candidate Hillary Clinton, had Eight Belles won the Kentucky Derby, Clinton had hoped to score a publicity coup, in symbolic terms:
Girl beats the boys in historic upset.
Now, the symbolism points the other way:
Girl places second, stumbles badly and has to be put down.
Live by the two-dollar window, die by the two-dollar window! Heh.

Whether Hillary's people had the filly's ankles broken in retaliation for the disappointment, or whether the filly committed suicide, as suggested by DNC chair Howard Dean, will undoubtedly be revealed in a Conspiracy Theory Near You, along with the question: Who hired Craig Livingston to drive the veterinary ambulance?

Linking the unfortunate demise of a racehorse to the dubious Clinton Body Count conspiracy is done obviously tongue in cheek. This final obligatory paragraph is to inoculate against the faux outrage that some cellar dwellers, devoid of both reading skills and sense of humor, will manufacture in copious quantities!
