Once again, Terry McAuliffe says just the right thing in just the right way to smooth ruffled feathers. Asked why Bill Clinton isn’t making nice with the novice who schooled him, McAuliffe oh so artfully pointed out that Hillary wears the pants now: “She was the candidate, she got 18 million votes, she’s the political leader of the Clinton family now.”

Sheer brilliance. That should help real good. And people said Hillary should give this McAuliffe guy the bum’s rush.

Not on your life. He’s comedy gold.
