Hillary Clinton was caught off guard when her boss claimed at his June 23 press conference that he was “appalled and outraged” after days of watching the Iranian regime brutally cracking down on protesters, because she didn’t know he was going to use language she’d been urging him to use from the outset. Tepid as it was, it was at least a slight improvement over the appeasing drivel he’d been offering, but until that moment he’d ignored her advice.

It must have hurt her pride something awful to be dissed at both ends that way. Why else would she now be sending out her anonymous minions to tell it to the Washington Times? It’s “the first known example of awkwardness between the two former rivals for the Democratic nomination for president since they made up following Mr. Obama's election.”

Sadly, nobody asked Robert Gibbs about it during today's presser. I'd give a lot to hear him address it with his patronizing nastiness, and to watch the president's henchmen force Hillary to do her penance by walking the whole thing back.
