NEW YORK, Mar 21, 2006 (UPI via COMTEX) -- U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., has reined in her husband, former President Bill Clinton, to avoid more embarrassments in her upward-looking career.
With the senator's ambition to run for president well known, sources told the New York Daily News she wants to avoid another conflict like their recent competing roles in the Dubai ports deal.
While she was blasting the Bush administration for allowing Dubai to run six of the country's seaports, her husband was advising Dubai on how to sell the deal.
An adviser to both Clintons said the former president has acceded to his wife's wishes.
"He knows it's Hillary's time now," the adviser said.
The senator's campaign spokeswoman, Ann Lewis, denied the former president's comments have been a liability but acknowledged her boss is calling the shots.
"She is the elected official. She makes the ultimate decisions," Lewis said.
