In the 1995 Universal Pictures film Casper, actress Cathy Moriarty plays the role of the peevish villain, Carrigan Crittenden. Crittenden is the bitter, maniacal woman who is upset that her recently deceased father only left her a lousy, run-down mansion in his will. But when she learns from her sidekick "Dibbs" (played by Eric Idle) that Whipstaff Manor in Friendship, Maine may actually have hidden treasure, she goes ballistic and goes to great lengths to find it.

Anyhow, in one memorable scene, Crittenden yells "the bitch is back!" after Dibbs thinks she has left. This is analogous to Hillary Clinton's win yesterday in Pennsylvania. Clinton is peevish, and after a lot of people have ruled her out, she comes back, a la Crittenden. Besides, Clinton and Crittenden (played by Moriarty) look alike.


In all seriousness, I am glad Hillary won Pennsylvania. Among Hillary, McCain, and Obama, she is clearly the most conservative candidate (sadly). As an added bonus, her newest victory further complicates the Democrats' primary process.
