Why Clinton Blew His Top: FNC's Wallace Only Interviewer to Ask About Pre-9/11 Failures
NewsBusters ^ | September 24, 2006 | Rich Noyes

Posted on 09/24/2006 12:45:08 PM PDT by george76

By now, nearly everybody who cares has probably seen former President Bill Clinton's -- let's say 'animated' -- response to 'Fox News Sunday' host Chris Wallace's questions about his administration's failed efforts to demolish al-Qaeda before the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

But Wallace himself hit on the key media bias question ...

Trying to explain Clinton's hot reaction, Wallace said he read the transcripts of the ex-President's other media appearances in the last few days -- on NBC's 'Meet the Press,' CNN's 'Larry King Live,' FNC's 'On the Record with Greta van Susteren,' among other programs.

Wallace said he was "astonished" that none of the others even bothered to raise the terrorism question with Clinton, particularly with his team's attacks on ABC's "Path to 9/11" docu-drama.

Clinton sounded like a left-wing press critics with his repeated jibes at Fox as a "conservative" or "right-wing" outfit.

But what, besides liberal bias, explains the other journalists' total lack of interest in even asking a single question about Clinton's inadequate terror response?

Clinton slurred his words as if he suffered a stroke.

He reminded me of someone I was close to, when he was an active alcoholic.

Angry face. Puffy eyes. Jabbing finger. Sneering defensively at his "enemies."

Hillary and Bill act too paranoid for my taste.

And the men on the 9/11 group should have been yelling to stop her. She did not act alone.

If Clinton had watched FOX more he would have seen that Wallace looks naturally smirky. Anyway, it was fun to see Clinton go into meltdown.

I think Wallace was about to crack up when Clinton began accusing him of being a right wing conservative. Wallace is anything but a conservative. Maybe Wallace will begin rethinking the sanity of the Left.

911 was not payment in full.

Bubba's missed opportunties will kill many Americans for decades to come.

Bubba was not doing his job. He met once with his CIA director during the directors term ( something like not even once per year ) ?

His FBI director was very critical of Bubba.

These were Bubba's employees who he hires and fires.

When Clinton moved toward Wallace in the FOXNews interview... it was the classic response of a guilt-ridden liar trying to intimidate his accuser. I'm sure he's used this many times on female and passive male subordinates in the past... and won the day.

He's pure garbage as far as humans go.

I know one thing that I decided from that interview was the reason Hillary throws things at him! She should have slugged him instead!

Can you imagine those two in the White house?!!! AGAIN?!!!

The Clinton presidency was all about him.

We have a winner! That phrase sums up liberalism. It's all about them, how bright they are, how much better they are, etc.

The whole Clinton response was shtick..a scripted, pre-planned act to generate exactly the response it did with their base.

No matter what questions Chris Wallace would have asked, he would have gotten the same response: angry, incensed, belligerant.

Reading the posts on left wing blog sites, what seems to us to be an alternate reality is the reaction these lefties have to a raging, vicious, paranoid Slick. They love him. Slick knew this, and geared his remarks to ginning up his, and Hillary's base.

Gorelick had, now has, and will have lots of help in the future.

She apparently is making tons of money from her contacts with Bubba.

Likely she has some stuff hidden for protection .

Chris just went up, way up in my estimation. He's not his dad.

I had thought about that earlier this week. The Clintons never did ANYTHING without polling it first and everything was calculated. Since this video was out for several days before it aired, I wondered why there was no objection to it. Look at how they howled at "The Path to 9/11"! They were genuinely panicked. This, they just ignored. Hmmmm.
