Bill Clinton's Tirade Stuns Some Super Delegates

I have made no secret of the fact that I do not like Bill Clinton and never have even though I voted for him in 1992 as opposed to the Chimperator's father who I deemed at the time to be utterly out of touch with reality (admittedly, Bush Sr. now looks down right good compared to the Chimperator). Over the weekend, Bill Clinton again showed himself to be a peevish ass while endeavoring to win over some super delegates in California. What "white trash Bill" does not seem to get is that no one has an entitlement to hold the presidency and live in the White House, and that includes both him and Hillary. The sad reality is that if Hillary were to be elected president, we'd have another 4 or 8 years of Bill's scandals and obnoxiousness to live with. The nation does not need that! Here are some highlights from the San Francisco Chronicle (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2008/04/02/BAVNVU2PJ.DTL&type=printable):

The Bill Clinton who met privately with California's superdelegates at last weekend's state convention was a far cry from the congenial former president who afterward publicly urged fellow Democrats to "chill out" over the race between his wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and Barack Obama. In fact, before his speech Clinton had one of his famous meltdowns Sunday, blasting away at former presidential contender Bill Richardson for having endorsed Obama, the media and the entire nomination process. "It was one of the worst political meetings I have ever attended," one superdelegate said.

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.

When delegate Binah - still stunned from her encounter with Clinton - got home to Little River (Mendocino County) later in the day - there was a phone message waiting for her from State Party Chairman Art Torres, telling her the former president wanted him to apologize to her on his behalf for what happened. Still, word of Clinton's blast shot all the way back to the New Mexico state Capitol, where Richardson spokesman Pahl Shipley reiterated Tuesday that his boss had never "promised or guaranteed" Bill and Hillary his endorsement.
