Kissing the Big Dog’s Ass
Word on the street is that Bill Clinton hates him some Barack Obama (emphasis mine):
It has long been known that Mr Clinton is angry at the way his own reputation was tarnished during the primary battle when several of his comments were interpreted as racist.
But his lingering fury has shocked his friends. The Democrat told the Telegraph: “He’s been angry for a while. But everyone thought he would get over it. He hasn’t. I’ve spoken to a couple of people who he’s been in contact with and he is mad as hell.
“He’s saying he’s not going to reach out, that Obama has to come to him. One person told me that Bill said Obama would have to quote kiss my ass close quote, if he wants his support.
“You can’t talk like that about Obama – he’s the nominee of your party, not some house boy you can order around.
That’s hysterical. Is it true? I don’t know. But I think that what Hillary attempted to do before she finally conceded —once the desperation had became incumbent upon her— is something that Bill can still do himself: serve the public good by attacking Obama, who is a charlatan and demagogue. In fact, I hope he winds up endorsing McCain, which would be a proxy gesture for Hillary since she obviously regards him as better qualified to be President than Obama.
And, then, Joe Lieberman will have to surrender the crown for Most Disloyal Democrat ever to the Big Dog. In the annals of partisan repudiation, what could compare? TR running against Taft? I would love to see Clinton do this. His ego almost demands it: he can still have a third term if HRC decides to run again in 2012.
