Bill Clinton still hasn’t forgiven Bill Richardson

Steve Terrell had the great catch from a very interesting New York Times Magazine article on former President Bill Clinton.

Clinton was famously angry at Governor Bill Richardson for endorsing Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton during the extended, tense Democratic presidential primary last year. And it appears that time has yet to heal this wound.

From the New York Times Magazine:

People close to Clinton said he has largely got over his resentment at Obama but not toward Ted Kennedy and his niece, Caroline Kennedy. As Clinton sees it, they say, he did so much for the Kennedys over the years that he felt they became almost family. Nor has he forgiven Gov. Bill Richardson of New Mexico, who endorsed Obama even though Clinton appointed him to two cabinet posts.

For her part, Hillary Clinton has at least publicly forgiven Richardson for endorsing Obama.
