It really has always been - and always will be - about Bill Clinton's planned return to the White House. And he is absolutely unhinged that Barack Obama is standing in the way:

Prior to Tuesday night's Democratic debate in Las Vegas, both campaigns declared an end to the "race debate" over whether Martin Luther King or Lyndon B. Johnson was most responsible for civil rights legislation. But the fight really was about the Clintons' resenting an obstacle on their return to the White House. A prominent Democrat who saw the former president this week described him as "furious, outraged, angry and utterly dismissive of Obama."

That anger was reflected by Hillary Clinton's performance on NBC's "Meet the Press" last Sunday, when she said, "When Sen. Obama's chief strategist accuses me of playing a role in Benazir Bhutto's assassination, there's silence (from Obama)." Actually, David Axelrod never made such an accusation. He said former Prime Minister Bhutto's death will "call into issue the judgment" of "taking the eye off the ball and making the wrong judgment in going into Iraq." Perhaps Hillary Clinton's comments should be vetted.
