On Bill Clinton's grudge against the Kennedys...

Can anyone blame Bill Clinton for holding grudge against those like the Kennedys and Bill Richardson in endorsing Obama during Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign? Apparently lots of people do; otherwise, it would not have made it to the news.

Some might think that Bill Clinton is acting childish and a sore loser. I bet to differ. Quite the contrary, I find both Bill and Hillary Clinton to be pretty gracious when it comes to losing. Afterall, Bill Clinton has no problem with Obama. While Bill might not run out to give Obama hugs, he does not badmouth or criticize Obama either, unlike what Dick Cheney is doing now, once Cheney is out of the office. Perhaps, it's the etiquette as an ex-president, like George W Bush does now, in abstaining from criticizing newcomer, as a show of solidity, regardless of whether you like the new policies or not.

But you know what, if I were Bill Clinton, I would probably have reacted the same, and the resented those pee-on's who crowded around him and Hillary when they're in power (and in office), but sold them out and betrayed them for some better bets. If these people have been true friends, they would have abstained from endorsing anyone. Richardson is comparatively a more despicable prick than the Kennedys, for he himself had been appointed to cabinet positions by Bill Clinton. Apparently, those meant nothing to Richardson, when he saw a better chance to be a veep candidate. Too bad, Rich, since Obama picked Joe Biden.

It's perhaps quite fitting, to see Bill Richardson to fall from grace (and fall flat on his own fat face), and to see how "powerful" (aka not powerful) the Kennedy's name really has become, when Caroline Kennedy herself shot herself in the foot, in her failed Senate bid for the New York seat. To me, these are true losers in the story.
