it wasn't a volcano that erupted...

it was the big dog.

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. - sfgate

chill. we all need to chill.

This is the kind of thing he did to piss me off in the first place (during the South Carolina primary). Check out news clip at bottom of this post. (NOT blogwhoring, just don't have time to search for the link on YouTube, and I remembered posting it.) This is the kind of thing that soured me on Hillary, unfortunately.

These periodic tantrums of his leave the lasting impression that HE is in charge, not her.

Ugh, not a good thing.

I hate to throw a little chill in with the pill, but is there any substantiation of this happening outside of what one unidentified superdelegate and Rachel Binah says?

This wasn't reported anywhere else in the papers, the news? Just in SFGate, in a political gossip column?

I'm not saying that Matier or Ross are lying, but they sure as hell could use a couple more sources for something as ugly as this. More than 'according to those at the meeting'.

And assuming it is true, wtf is wrong with having someone get angry over something as damaging as what Richardson did to the Clintons? It obviously was an amazing stab in the back to rile up the big dog so.

Ok, I'll go back and sit in the corner now.

I was going to suggest the same. It's like no one thinks a bit more verification is the way to go before repeating something that's hot and attention getting or making erroneous conclusions about that same unverified something or other. You'd think after Bush and Co. leadership for the past 7 years that 'listen but verify' would replace 'holy shit, orange alert'.
