Raging Bill
Categorized under Política Estados Unidos , Race for '08 | Tags: Clinton, I should tag this something, Outtakes and Remakes
SOMEONE'S SMOOTH VENEER is popping off like pine panel in a bonfire.
"It was one of the worst political meetings I have ever attended," one superdelegate said.According to those at the meeting, Clinton - who flew in from Chicago with bags under his eyes - was classic old Bill at first, charming and making small talk with the 15 or so delegates who gathered in a room behind the convention stage.
But as the group moved together for the perfunctory photo, Rachel Binah, a former Richardson delegate who now supports Hillary Clinton, told Bill how "sorry" she was to have heard former Clinton campaign manager James Carville call Richardson a "Judas" for backing Obama.
It was as if someone pulled the pin from a grenade.
"Five times to my face (Richardson) said that he would never do that," a red-faced, finger-pointing Clinton erupted.
The former president then went on a tirade that ran from the media's unfair treatment of Hillary to questions about the fairness of the votes in state caucuses that voted for Obama. ...
"It was very, very intense," said one attendee. "Not at all like the Bill of earlier campaigns."
—Red-faced Clinton tirade stuns superdelegates behind closed doors
Bill Clinton has destroyed his public aura of geniality, total control, and suavamente. Hillary Clinton has lost her public aura of...scrappiness, deft maneuvering and opportunism, now replaced with desperation and self-centeredness, and...opportunism.
It's over, people. Even if you somehow were to find Superman so he could fly around the world three times in reverse, you have created an insurmountable problem for yourself. We may have just turned the corner as a voraciously hungry America always starving for good entertainment—now more eager to see the new, hideous, utterly fascinating formerly-hidden faces of the Clintons than we are to see the old ones plod along with their predictable laughlines and narratives.
Keep flailing and freaking. We'll keep watching. I promise.

Smooth running government? Because of Bill's presence, I can not imagine the resulting internal chaos of the administration if HRC is anywhere near the executive branch in either the #1 or #2 positions of Prez or V-prez. Visions of handcuffs, muzzles, duct tape, physical restraints, and changing the locks daily all end in failure. The oval office would look like a comical portrayal of musical chairs with Larry, Curly, and BO fighting for the one chair behind the desk.
