Bill Shaheen, the Clinton campaign official who brought up Barack Obama's youthful drug confession, has been given the opportunity to walk the plank, take one for the team, fall on his sword or whatever metaphor you prefer:
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.
