Bill Clinton expresses displeasure with Bill Richardson

April
2

First James Carville called Bill Richardson a “Judas” for endorsing Barack Obama.

Now, it seems, Bill Clinton has expressed his displeasure with the New Mexico governor and former presidential candidate. According to a report in the San Francisco Chronicle’s website, Clinton lashed out at Richrdson during a closed door meeting of California superdelegates.

“Five times to my face (Richardson) said that he would never do that,” a red-faced, finger-pointing Clinton erupted, according to the report.

    well, you know…if Bill Richardson made a committment
    to Bill Clinton and broke his word, the former
    president should be mad

    We go from the Last Supper to Raging Bill. The original back stabbers are getting some of their own bad medicine.

    This has become quite a food fight. Supper…put a fork in Hillary. She’s about done, but not quite yet. They’ll turn Denver into Chicago ‘68. As T.O. said before Dallas lost to the Giants, Getcha popcorn ready. It’s gonna be a show.

    Depends on what the meaning of “never” is. It doesn’t mean Never- Ever!

    Mmmm…the last time Bill Clinton wagged his finger like that he was denying having “sexual relations” with Monica. He lied. Hillary lies. They always lie. It’s now all a vast left-wing conspiracy. Oh, the humanity.

    Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Or is i?

    Hey Bubba, about that red face…better put some ice on that.

    It’s ironic, how a man who disloyal to his wife through the years, has the audacity to question the loyalty of Bill Richardson.

    Richardson says that the “5 times” never happened. Methinks that Bill doth protesteth too much.

    Richardson is an opportunist. When it looked like Hillary was going to be the nominee, he defended her at the mult-candidate debates. Now that Obama is likely to get the nod, Richardson jumps ship. He should have at least stayed neutral. I suspect Bill Clinton is telling the truth on this one but this incident demonstrates what many Clinton detractors have said for a long time, the man has a terrible temper.

    Well, this is why they call it “politics.” because it’s politics. Despite what the public might think, this game is played for personal aggrandizement; they all know it; each just don’t like it when it works out to his detriment. As has been said, when the shark is after you, you don’t have to swim faster than the shark, you only have to swim faster than your friend.

    Myy gut instinct tells me that Bill C is telling the truth on this one
    I found BillRs endorsement and comments that have followed just dont seem right
    He endorses and then immediatly starts bashing the Clintons why didnt he just give the endorsement and leave it at that?
    Now he says she should stay in the race after pretty much telling her to get out
    This guy changes with the wind so it stands to reason he did support her and then turned
    Most likely he did what he thought would serve him the best
    I really think he and others put far too much into his opinions look at his flop in the race I do question if
    he is still sore over his defeat
    At any rate Im sure he has lost any support he may want in the future from the Clintons
    Obamas latest bribe is in all of a sudden talking up Al Gore and wanting him to take part in his cabinet etc
    Does any one think that this isnt a move to get Als endorsement???
    Was Bill R offered something you bet he was
    He even went against the vote of his people to aquire what ever it is he thinks he will get for it
    He like BO sounds worse the more he talks

    You bet he’s telling the truth on this one. Clinton made Pancho Secretary of Energy, and Ambassador to to the UN. He thought he owned him. But Richardson now sees his opportunities elsewhere. As I said before on a previous post, all these pols buy into the adage that when the shark is chasing you, you don’t have to swim faster than the shark, but only faster than your “friend.”
