The Lost Art of the Personal Apology, Clinton Edition

Former President Bill Clinton threw another temper tantrum. The target of his wrath–Rachel Binah, a former Richardson delegate who now supports Hillary Clinton–said she was upset that James Carville referred to Richardson as Judas. Still more peculiar is what happened next:

“When delegate Binah–still stunned from her encounter with Clinton–got home to Little River (Mendocino County) later in the day–there was a phone message waiting for her from State Party Chairman Art Torres, telling her the former president wanted him to apologize to her on his behalf for what happened.”

Are the Clinton’s incapable of personally apologizing? Presumably Clinton had to call Torres and ask him to do this on his behalf. So why not just call Binah himself instead of dispatching a flying monkey to do his bidding? For all the Clinton-haters out there, and I should disclose I still have a bumper sticker that reads, “If Vince Foster Had a Gun, He’d Be Alive Today,” this is further confirmation the Clintons have no class. Or to use slightly harsher words, they are congenital liars who will claw their way into power by any means necessary. Update: A reader wonders if “Perhaps Rachel Binah just wasn’t hot enough to merit a personal call from Bill.” Indeed.
