The Clintons Get Cocky

When you're ahead, don't stomp on the guy in second place. We've seen a few hints of the old Clinton mojo lately. We have the spiking of Josh Green's piece on Hillary for GQ. We have the flash of the old, angry Bill with Anderson. And we now have Bill's attempt to instruct Obama to wait his turn. But Gail Collins captured it best this morning, I think. She reported something I hadn't heard, but it sums up the Clintons' classic boomer narcissism and self-righteousness:

Earlier this year at a campaign rally, Bill Clinton said that when he was at Yale, he told Hillary: "I have met all the most gifted people in our generation and you're the best."

Gag me, dude. Everyone under 40 these days is voting for Obama.
