the Big Dog has been put on a Choke Chain

Apparently he is being reigned in by Hillary.

Today he spoke for half an hour in the Northeast and only mentioned himself 4 times.

He must be hating it. All he gets to talk about is Hillary.
No old-time yarns, no glad-handing...he's got to stay on script.

This is worse for him than any legacy fallout from his race-baiting ever could be.

He doesn't get to roam the fields free any more.

What a sad old dog.

1. She should have reigned him in weeks ago.

Every time he opens his mouth, he does more damage. Of course, it doesn't help that she feels she's entitled to the presidency or that she recounts the accomplishments of his presidency rather than focusing on her own actions as senator.

2. It won't last. Bill loves himself far more than anything else...

Even if its in his best interests, I don't think they can control him. Bill is well, Bill.

4. Give it a day

Big Dog will figure out how to get loose from the choke hold. His narcissitic personality cannot be contained.

6. How disrespectful (or naive), he saved this country from depression, wars,

RW domination for eight years ... He was OUR President and served the country well.

Read the historical record ... he was, truly amazing ... and, saved us/the world from dangers we never even knew we were facing. That's how good he was.

And, this is how you speak about one of the better presidents of the 20th century? And, for what, to promote Obama? Talk about not seeing the forest for the trees.

7. He did get carried away

And I think we will see less of him. I don't think he's damaged his legacy, as much as Republicans are cackling and rubbing their hands together at the prospect of it, but he has diminished himself for the time being. The race is heated, and he was contributing to that heat. He didnt say "Obama is just like Jesse Jackson" as some Obama supporters dishonestly attempted to portray, but he should never have brought Jackson up in the first place. A few weeks in the time-out room couldn't hurt.

9. It's probably a good thing that Big Dog has simmered down a bit.

12. And look how Hillary is surging again to front-runner status.

I think there's a correlation...
