After midnight

Mark Steyn begins his column on the death rattle of the the Clinton campaign with Crystal Gayle's "Talking in Your Sleep" (video above):

"Three o'clock in the morning
And it looks like it's gonna be another sleepless night…"

That's Crystal Gayle from the opening of her hit song, "Talking In Your Sleep," No. 1 on the Billboard Country charts in 1978. No, hang on a minute, it's Hillary Rodham Clinton's new campaign theme.

In Crystal's case, her sleepless night was caused by her husband lying next to her, talking in his sleep, moaning in ecstasy and whispering sweet nothings to some other gal. But Hillary learned to snore through that a long time ago....

You'll want to read the whole thing, and check out the other song that Steyn turns to his own use.
