Chill Out, Bill

Bill Clinton
Exactly one day after Bill Clinton told nervous democrats to "chill out" regarding the protracted contest between his wife and Barack Obama, B.C. met with a group of California superdelegates. The meeting wasn't pretty. From the San Francisco Chronicle:

The former president went on a tirade that ran from the media's unfair treatment of Hillary to questions about the fairness of votes in state caucuses that voted for Obama. It ended with him asking super delegates to imagine what the reaction would be if Obama was trailing by just 1 percent and people were telling him to drop out.

"It was very, very intense," said one attendee. "Not at all like the Bill of earlier campaigns."

Said another invited super-delegate,

"It was one of the worst political meetings I have ever attended."

What set Bill Clinton off? A former Richardson delegate brought up the subject of James Carville's Judas remarks. Clinton could not contain himself about what he, too, sees as Richardson's betrayal.

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

Richardson penned an explanation of his decision to endorse Obama in yesterday's Washington Post. Read it here.

But why is Bill Clinton telling everyone to calm down one moment, then blowing his stack the next?
