The mainstream media said she was finished, but our brave Hillary soldiered on to wallop B. Hussein Obama in Ohio, Texas and Rhode Island Tuesday night. I don’t know what the MSM is so upset about– we let them pick the Republican nominee. Did they want to pick the Democratic nominee, too?

Not only that, but after some toothsome appearances on various madcap comedy shows this past week — “Saturday Night Live,” “Late Night With David Letterman,” “Hardball With Chris Matthews” — Hillary’s “likability” quotient is soaring! According to the latest CNN/CBS News poll, she’s just been upgraded from “Utterly Loathsome” to “Execrable.”

The percentage of registered voters who would rather disembowel themselves with a wooden spoon than vote for Hillary has just slipped below the magical 50 percent mark. We’re surging, Hillary! If you want to be even more likable, you should go on “The View.” Next to those four harpies, you seem almost agreeable.

Now that Hillary has won three primaries in a row, it’s time for Obama to do the classy thing and withdraw from the race. (Obama won Vermont, but that was earlier in the day. Exit polls indicate he took the black vote. Literally. There was just the one.)

Imagine how proud Michelle Obama would be of her country if that happened! But Obama probably won’t do the classy thing, despite claiming to be a new kind of politician and rejecting the politics of division.

If Hillary is serious about becoming president, she’s got to make some changes. I say this as a Hillary supporter and opponent of divorce. Hillary: You’ve got to divorce Bill. You’ve already fired one campaign manager. Now it’s time to get rid of your No. 1 buzz-killer.

Not only is the media’s group-lie about Bill Clinton being a “rock star” over, but — one hopes — the use of the excruciatingly stupid phrase “rock star” to refer to wonky politicians is over. It’s become such a cliche that music critics have begun referring to actual rock stars as “leading Democratic contenders.”

Liberals believe, often accurately, that if they say the same thing over and over again 1 billion times, people will believe it: “Bush lied, kids died,” “We’ve lost in Iraq,” “Reagan is stupid,” “Bush is stupid,” “Republicans are stupid,” “Global warming is destroying the planet,” “Gloria Steinem is good-looking” and — their most provably false assertion — “Bill Clinton is the most talented politician of his generation.”

In a period of just a few short months last year, “news” articles in The New York Times cooed — I mean “said” — the following about Bill Clinton:

— “Elvis is here, Clinton version. Having Bill Clinton campaign for you, as Mr. Ford learns, is a mixed blessing. You are bolstered standing next to this outsized Democrat, but still seem puny by comparison.”

— “Mr. Clinton is one Oscar-worthy supporting actor who can sometimes upstage his leading lady simply by breathing.”

— “Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has been trying to capture Bill Clinton’s old political magic and lay claim to his legacy and popularity.”

— Tony Blair’s charisma “ranks second only to Bill Clinton’s.”

Not to be a stickler, but Bill Clinton is the guy who could never get as much as 50 percent of the country to vote for him. If Bill Clinton is the Democrats’ idea of Elvis, somebody should tell them he’s playing to half-empty houses.

And that was in two presidential elections that the Republicans basically sat out (as they are doing again this year). It was also in elections held before the country realized “Elvis” was molesting the help.

Besides the joy liberals take in lying, the reason they carry on so about the horny hick is that they have massive Reagan envy. Despite having informed us the requisite 1 billion times that Reagan was a dunce, Americans adored him.

Democrats wanted one of their presidents to be adored, too — and not just for being assassinated. But they only seemed able to produce laughable incompetents like Jimmy Carter.

So no matter how preposterous it was, liberals just kept telling us that the chubby kid with the big red nose whose greatest moment on the football field involved a wind instrument was “Elvis.” According to Nexis, that appellation has been applied to Clinton approximately 1,000 times. In print, that is. There’s no telling how many drunken cocktail waitresses have whispered it in Clinton’s ear during late-night elevator assignations.

You can stop lying for the voters now, Hillary. This is me, Ann Coulter, your supporter.

This charade of a marriage has gone on long enough. Even if you were stupid enough to marry him back in the ’70s, Bill is just so over, girlfriend. He can’t even get Holiday Inn cocktail waitresses anymore. Last I heard, he was hitting on the Motel 6 housekeeping staff.

You’re too good for him, Hillary. Obama excites voters by offering to be the first black president. You’ve got a chance to make history by becoming the first divorcee to win the White House!

Obama has now denounced and rejected Louis Farrakhan. It’s time for you to denounce and reject Bill Clinton.
