Bill vs. Barack

According to the Telegraph:

"I’ve spoken to a couple of people who he's been in contact with and he is mad as hell.
"He's saying he's not going to reach out, that Obama has to come to him. One person told me that Bill said Obama would have to quote kiss my ass close quote, if he wants his support."

(Via Hot Air.) We observed yesterday that Obama was forcing Hillary to jump through hoops, and noticed when Kathryn Jean Lopez predicted that Team Obama's public effort to humiliate the Clintons would backfire. Looks like Bubba's getting ready to blow up.

UPDATE: Thomas Edsall:

"Bill wants to be honored, to return to the role of Democratic elder statesman, and get rid of this image of him as a pol willing to do anything to win," said one associate.

Heh. Good luck with that, pal.

UPDATE II: Noel Sheppard catches this by UPI:

Oprah Winfrey and Bill Clinton didn't seem like they were on good terms at Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday in London, a source told the New York Daily News. . . .
"There was a very cold reception between them," a source told the Daily News.

Ooooh. Dissing Oprah? He really is mad.
