Own Worst Enemy

The HuffPo has an interesting account (from Associated Press) about Bill Clinton's recent "meltdown" in a private meeting of 15 California superdelegates. In a tirade triggered by a delegate's comment about James "Alien" Carville's description of Gov. Bill Richardson as a "Judas", the former President went ballistic, claiming that the Governor promised "5 times" not to endorse anyone but Sen. Clinton. The delegates were apparently stunned by the outburst, and California Democratic leader Art Torres was enlisted to call each of the delegates and apologize for the tirade. Not a good way to win over delegates for his wife.

For the record, Richardson denies that he ever promised his former boss that he would endorse Sen. Clinton. Who to believe? Never mind.
