Chris Wallace: Clinton Chewed Out His Staff After Interview While Still at Fox-TV Studio

Fox TV Morning Show (25 September) ^ | 25 September 2006 | AmericanInTokyo

[Mo1]

That interview was Clinton's attempt to bash Bush and bash FOX News

All he accomplished was to show folks that he is unstable and acted like a 5 yr old throwing a temper tantrum

Yes, the Clintonistas were SOOOOOOO concerned to defeat Al Qaeda that they just about forgot terrorism existed in their final national security report to Congress in Dec. 2000:

"The final policy paper on national security that President Clinton submitted to Congress — 45,000 words long — makes no mention of al Qaeda and refers to Osama bin Laden by name just four times. The scarce references to bin Laden and his terror network undercut claims by former White House terrorism analyst Richard A. Clarke that the Clinton administration considered al Qaeda an "urgent" threat, while President Bush's national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, "ignored" it. The Clinton document, titled "A National Security Strategy for a Global Age," is dated December 2000 and is the final official assessment of national security policy and strategy by the Clinton team. The document is publicly available, though no U.S. media outlets have examined it in the context of Mr. Clarke's testimony and new book."

Yep. He's a sociopath. He can't handle criticism, he can't handle the truth, and he's demonstrated that he can't handle a crisis.

[Sister_T]

Ha! So much for this being a calculated plan by the "political genius", Bill Clinton!

[Phosgood]

"the rows between him and Hilary must've been a sight" ...

I am sure he never pointed that finger at hillery or she would hurt him bad with his own finger.

[AmericanInTokyo]

An interesting viewpoint, even if held by a minority of people.

Someone should tell Bubba that "he should put some ice on it"

Chris Wallace was just on the Howie Carr show. (Chris is about to moderate a gov. debate in Boston on FOX 25). He said when Howlin'
Howie Dean was on a few weeks back, Dean said he was surprised how rough/probing he was in interviewing Condi Rice. "When he left, he signed a guest book we have and wrote, 'Chris Wallace, tough but fair.' Now the same man, two weeks later, is issuing a press release slamming me for being right-wing and unfair. I guess
that's politicians for you."

[Captain Beyond]

This is not the first time this has happen with Slick Willy. Back when Rush had his TV show Rush showed a clip of Clinton getting questions he was not prepared for and after it was over the cameraman keep rolling as Slick waddled off and found an aid and started reaming him out for setting up the press conference. Slick was red in the face, shouting, and shaking that evil finger at the aid.

Unreal. The vicious lying hypocrisy of the 'Rats just never ceases, it's like a field of poisonous plants where more and more examples keep popping up all the time.

Amd the cameras weren't turned back on because ??

I'd have loved to have seen THAT!

[Texas Mom]

Clinton needs a course in anger management.

No, he needs a course in telling the truth and keeping his stories straight. That way he wouldn't have to be so defensive.

fyi ping

Chris Wallace' appearance on Sean Hannity's show this afternoon was quite informative. Wallace is convinced that Clinton lost his cool, rather than the spin being sent out today that Clinton planned his attack on Chris/Fox/VRWC. He said that the Clinton communications aide had a tape recorder at their feet during the interview, and the Clinton team started sending out parts of the transcript the evening of the interview - as damage control. It was not Fox who first published the interview.

[fortunecookie]

He's a narcissistic sociopath and for once his yes men aren't there to keep his constructs in place, buy his lies. Anger is inevitable. Plus, he's pi$$ed to be pulled off the party circuit to do damage control (isn't that a job for his peons?) in the aftermath of ABC's Path to 9/11, even the sanitized version, in advance of the upcoming elections.

Horatio?! (giggle, snort)

[Trajan88]

Billy go put some Windex on it (as if THAT would help)... and don't go away mad... just go away.

Thanks for the ping.
I have been out all day and this is LOVELY news to come home to.
LOL!
Now Newt is talking about it on FNC.

AP is picking up the lie that Clintoon's enemies derided him for being "too obsessed with bin Laden" From MyWay

NEW YORK (AP) - In a combative interview on "Fox News Sunday," former President Clinton defended his handling of the threat posed by Osama bin Laden, saying he tried to have bin Laden killed and was attacked for his efforts by the same people who now criticize him for not doing enough.
