WaPo Columnist Ruth Marcus Angrily Denounces Free Beacon's "WalkerGate" Scoop

If you're taking flack, you must be over Hillary's Walker.

The Washington Free Beacon chimed in with a semiotic analysis of the People cover. “The cover looks innocent enough, but a close analytical reading reveals what can only be interpreted as a deliberate effort to call attention to the former secretary of state and Goldman Sachs affiliate’s advanced age,” editor Andrew Stiles wrote, noting the proximity of the word “grandmother” to Clinton’s hands on “what a layperson might reasonably assume to be an old person’s walker.”

People’s subsequent denial — accompanied by a photo that showed Clinton walking on her own — only served to further inflame the Free Beacon. The photo “is also inexplicably grainy, out of focus, and devoid of color — unlikely to satisfy skeptics,” Stiles wrote. “What’s REALLY going on here?”

I think we know. This is Clinton Derangement Syndrome on steroids, reminiscent of the Hillary-Clinton-murdered-Vince-Foster delusions two decades earlier. It is worth paying attention to only because of the role this phenomenon may play in Clinton’s decision-making on a presidential run.

Exit Question: Why is Ruth Marcus so defensive about a Walker?

Do you think...?

How deep does this, I don't know what to call it, "Walker Conspiracy" go?

The Free Beacon calls upon Ruth Marcus to resign due to her being a part of this aged, twilight-years Conspiracy of Walkers.

It will claim us all, in Time.
