Big Dog Brought to Heel

I like the Big Dog (that would be Bill Clinton, by the way). Less so in recent weeks what with his somewhat unseemly stumping for Hillary. But, still, I think of him as a sharp cookie, a great orator, and a damn fine President (when he could keep his "willie" contained). But, man, this little gem from Slate's John Dickerson has got to hurt:

[Hillary Clinton] Campaign aides thought that while columnists might disapprove, Bill Clinton was effective in pushing the idea that Obama had gotten a free ride from the press. But after South Carolina we might see Bill Clinton suddenly dispatched to solve some new crisis in a country with no satellite trucks and no cell towers.

Ouch! Heel, Big Dog, heel!
