Good.

Bill Shaheen resigned today as Hillary Clinton’s campaign co-chairman in New Hampshire after Clinton apologized to Barack Obama for Shaheen saying that Obama’s drug experimentation as a youth would be an issue in the general election.

"I would like to reiterate that I deeply regret my comments yesterday and say again that they were in no way authorized by Senator Clinton or the Clinton campaign….I made a mistake and in light of what happened, I have made the personal decision that I will step down as the co-chair of the Hillary for President campaign," Shaheen said in a statement released by the campaign. "This election is too important and we must all get back to electing the best qualified candidate who has the record of making change happen in this country. That candidate is Hillary Clinton."

The whole episode has just been sooo stupid and insulting.
