Richardson Revolts?

Another interesting story of Clintonian arm twisting and its backlash. If this keeps up it'll become a narrative. 

Bill Clinton placed “an angry call” to New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson:

Some are folks who owe the Clintons a favor but still feel betrayed or taken for granted. Could that be why Bill Richardson, a former U.N. secretary and energy secretary in the Clinton administration, refused to endorse her even after an angry call from the former president? “What,” Bill Clinton reportedly asked Richardson, “isn’t two Cabinet posts enough?”

“Isn’t two Cabinet posts enough?” is an amazingly insulting tirade to wage on a self-made man who—let’s hit this nail right on the head—dressed himself in glory in both of those jobs, making his boss look good, unlike so many 1990s White House appointees. The plantation-owner mentality that it reflects—I helped you, therefore I own you—borders on Nixonian insanity. Add the salsa of the historic grievance that Mexican-Americans have with political leaders that use, abuse and mistreat them, and it’s a recipe for a game-changing moment that would be adverse to Clinton goals.
