Don't you love it when Democrats get caught in their own flypaper?

From Game Change: The 2008 Presidential Election.

Ben Smith at Politico...

One of the enduring mysteries of the 2008 campaign was what got Ted Kennedy so mad at Bill Clinton. The former president's entreaties, at some point, backfired, and the explanation has never quite emerged.

I've finally gotten my hands on a copy of Game Change, in which John Heliemann and Mark Halperin report:

[A]s Hillary bungled Caroline, Bill’s handling of Ted was even worse. The day after Iowa, he phoned Kennedy and pressed for an endorsement, making the case for his wife. But Bill then went on, belittling Obama in a manner that deeply offended Kennedy. Recounting the conversation later to a friend, Teddy fumed that Clinton had said, A few yeas ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee.

"Fetch my coffee, boy, and while you're at it pick up Hillary's dry cleaning. Oh, and polish Sarah Palin's pumps, there's a good laddie..."

Not only does Bill Clinton become exposed as a closet racist (again!) but Harry Reid also gave up 2008 racial statements, for which he's come forward with a surprise apology...

The top Democrat in the U.S. Senate apologized on Saturday for comments he made about Barack Obama's race during the 2008 presidential bid.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada described then-Sen. Barack Obama as "light skinned" and "with no Negro dialect."

Even Joe Biden had some disparaging comments about BHO, calling him 'articulate, bright and clean'.

These Democrats. Just can't trust 'em, can you, Barry?
