Thursday, Nov. 18, 2004 10:30 p.m. EST Bill 'Captain Queeg' Clinton Threatens Peter Jennings

A paranoid-sounding Bill Clinton threatened ABC News anchorman Peter Jennings in an interview broadcast Thursday night, in a bizarre rant about his impeachment that laid bare the ex-president's persecution complex.

"You don't want to go here, Peter," Clinton warned, after Jennings told him that historians ranked him second to last of all presidents in terms of moral authority.

Squinting his eyes, an angry Clinton seethed, "You don't want to go here. Not after what you people did. And the way you - your network - what you did with Kenneth Starr. The way your people repeated every little sleazy thing he did. No one has any idea of what that's like." The amazing exchange came after Clinton at first claimed he didn't care about the verdict of historians.

"I had more support from the world when I quit than when I started," he claimed. "And I will go to my grave being at peace about it. And I don't really care about what [the historians] think."

Immediately, Jennings challenged Clinton, all but calling him a liar.

"Oh, yes you do . . . Excuse me, Mr. President. I can feel it across the room. You care very deeply."

Jennings' challenge sent Clinton into a thinly veiled rage, prompting him to threaten, "You don't want to go here, Peter."

The full exchange went like this:

JENNINGS (Discussing rankings by presidential historians]: They gave you a forty-first in terms of moral authority - after Nixon.

CLINTON: They're wrong about that. You know why they're wrong about it? They're wrong about it.

JENNINGS: Why, sir?

CLINTON: Because we had $100 million spent against us in all these inspections . . . In spite of it all, you don't have any example where I ever lied to the American people about my job, where I have let the American people down. And I had more support from the world when I quit than when I started. And I will go to my grave being at peace about it. And I don't really care about what they think.

JENNINGS: Oh, yes you do.

CLINTON: They have no idea . . .

JENNINGS: Excuse me, Mr. President. I can feel it across the room. You care very deeply.

CLINTON: No, no. I care. In care. You don't want to go here, Peter. You don't want to go here. Not after what your people did. And the way you - your network - what you did with Kenneth Starr. The way your people repeated every little sleazy thing he did. No one has any idea of what that's like.

The man can not stop lying. He lives in a personal Hell because he wasted two terms, TWO TERMS, trying to look presidential rather than being presidential. And there ain't no do-overs! These are glorious times, children.

"I don't care" "I do care"

He really said that? I thought it was a typo.

"Dang! I can't believe I missed this!"

It's not what you think. The lefties are *screaming* about Clinton being gracious to the Bush's today at the library dedication.

Jennings turned on WJC tonight because the Left is going to punish *anyone* who attempts any form of reconciliation, reaching out, or any other act besides outright open war with the Right.

There are even a few on the Right who are unclever enough to be "upset" by the Bush's display of decorum at the library dedication today. Fortunately for our side, there just aren't that many of us who are upset at such trivialities.

It rained on his parade today too.........:o)

I think the lib-socialists (and make no mistake, Peter is one,) see the writing writ large on the wall...

"Slick Willy is a has been, he can be no good to you anymore and Hillderbeast will not be able to overcome the momentum of the conservatives...she will NOT be madame president after all..."

ergo, they will turn on them to appear to be on the winning side.

But never forget - they are sheep but in clothing only

"If I didn't know better, I'd say Petah is growing a spine."

~huh.
Ummmm but you *do* know better, so bite your tongue.

"It might be fun watching Petah grow up in public."

We'll all be dead *&* gone by the time that day ever came; which, of course it won't.

Be that as it may, this really isn't about the quisling *Petah*, is it?
It's about The Bent1 & his cocaine fried brain no longer able to "compartmentalize" his bullshit answers, and a hyena like quisling mediot who senses a wounded animal and the impending meal.

You want proof?
Here..."'I had more support from the world when I quit than when I started,' he claimed. 'And I will go to my grave being at peace about it. And I don't really care about what [the historians] think.'"

What's that sound like to you?
Sounds dreadfully pathetic to me.

And to a quisling scavenger hyena mediot looking to boost a creer outa the shitter that sound has a *smell* with a very specific meaning.

*Super time*.

It's sickening how they operate and how we respond.

...to a simple bell.

about his "job"

Whatever he did in the oval office was on the job - it was on OUR time - he was on the clock.

Heck, half the time, he was even on the phone conducting government business at the same time - talk about a multi-tasker

I saw that interview. He seemed very angry. Perhaps he sees what his legacy is going to be and there is nothing he can do to change it. It was rather sad really.

I ran the ship as it should be run, by the book, but they fought me at every turn.

I'm having trouble even believing this. I thought the ABC crowd loved the Clintonians, especially Jennnings.

Robert Byrd "Mountain Fiddler"

I'm not a big C&W fan, but I have to admit that Byrd's recording isn't all that bad.

Ingraham played it earlier in the Summer.

I looked it up today. "He took time out as Senate Majority Leader in 1978 to record..."

Guess I'll listen to Laura in the morning. So hard to decide to put on Snow, Beck, Laura, when I can.

The Democrat party, as well as the Clinton "legacy" both died in a southern rainstorm today.

By golly, I think you're right. And God sent the Texas rain to wash the stench away

Quite a contrast from when President Reagan was brought to the hilltop on his final journey - what a glorious sunset...God was smiling

So true. There does seem to be a lot of mental UNstability in the Democrap party.
