Without a doubt the politician who had the worst week in Washington is Hillary Clinton. There’s a reason her advisors didn’t put her on ANY of the weekend political talk shows leading up to the important Democratic primaries on Tuesday, and it’s because she would have spent the entire time answering for the crippling outbreak of “foot in mouth” disease that hit her campaign over the past seven days.

I’m not sure I’m remembering everything, but let’s itemize and you can help me augment in the comments:

• A string of lies about Bernie Sanders’ record in both the Flint Debate and Fox forum that was slammed by her New York Times Editorial Board backers, PolitiFact and President Obama’s political guru David Axelrod.

• A revisionist tale of Nancy Reagan’s brave “low-key” efforts to start a national conversation about AIDS that she and her husband actually stifled, sparking outrage in the gay community and igniting a daylong #HistorybyHillary Twitterstorm. As one commenter said:

That about sums that one up.

• Another effort to lie about Bernie Sanders’ staunch support of health care in the ’90s that was promptly refuted by photo and video evidence and unleashing another social media hail of scorn and derision on a candidate already branded as untrustworthy for her tenuous connection with the truth.

Meanwhile, Chris Cillizza over at the Washington Post, chose for the seventh week in a row to honor a Republican in his “Worst Week” column, picking smallest matryoshka doll GOP also-ran Marco Rubio and posting another ‘Sanders Should Give It Up Already’ blog to round things out. (A note about timing: the debates and AIDS gaffe happened before this week’s “Worst Week” was published, and the health care gaffe afterward.)

Maybe if Sanders pulls some upsets on Tuesday, Hillary will finally take home the prize and Chris can roll it all up together. More likely: whatever happens Tuesday short of a landslide in all five states will be spun as a loss for Sanders.

Notably, the Post’s coverage of Clinton’s AIDS debacle had this headline: Hillary Clinton Chided For Praising Nancy Reagan’s AIDS Role. Chided. That’s like writing “Surface of Sun Grows Warmish.” Unless I am missing it, by noon on Sunday the Post had no mention whatsoever about the health care gaffe.

Can you imagine what this billionaire-owned estimable-institution-turned-rag would be saying about Bernie Sanders if he’d had the week that Hillary Clinton just self-inflicted? Maybe it’s really objective journalism that had the worst week in Washington.
