Bill being dragged around by the parts

The International Herald Tribune has an on-line article about Bill Clinton on the campaign trail: "The long campaign has taken some of the fight out of the Big Dog. Bill Clinton is dutifully traveling from state to state and small town to small town on behalf of his wife's presidential candidacy. But the growling and snapping Bill Clinton that the country saw before the New Hampshire and South Carolina primaries has been muzzled and leashed. He is being kept as far from the media as possible to prevent any more of the red-faced, finger-wagging tirades and freelance political commentary that polls say cost Hillary Rodham Clinton a lot of support, particularly among black voters. In the Lancaster High School gymnasium Monday night, Bill Clinton spoke for a full hour to about 2,000 people. The room could have held 1,000 more, but the rest of the gym was curtained off. Earlier in the day, at a college campus in Chillicothe, Ohio, he spoke in a gym that was two-thirds empty."
"An equally troublesome matter was the $5 million loan Hillary Clinton made to keep her campaign afloat before the coast-to-coast Super Tuesday nominating contests on Feb. 5. "Where did that come from?" Clare Walker, who runs a family-owned shoe store up the block, said. "A lot of people in this area who thought she was for the working middle class and the poor are wondering about that. That's a lot of money. That really hurt her in this area. That $5 million came out of nowhere," she added. "I think even more than her husband that will cause her to lose. The people here are poor but they're not stupid."
