What Bill Clinton Wanted to Accomplish (RNC Fact Sheet for Clinton Interview)

He has so busted himself in his own words and on-camera actions that there's no way he can spin or retract it away at this point.

And he knows it, which caused the rabid rage to continue post interview to the point where he harrassed his staff and Chris Wallace right in front of multiple people at a news studio.

His whole-interview finger-pointing (and repeated finger into Chris Wallace's knee) is a far cry from his previous, always-calculated, always-on hand speaking gesture of a curled index finger under the thumb. Full meltdown.

Slick better talk to Algore about that Lexus-Nexus Internet thingy!!

Nice post, good info.

He didn't need to counter attack Clinton. Clinton made an ass out of himself.

 Never  interrupt your enemy when they are making complete fools out of themselves.

Bumping so I can find this later.

The problem being that when the GOP "smells blood", they don't know what to do after they smell it. Unfortunately, the GOP doesn't have a recent history of "gettin' down" when pressed and attacked. I sure wish we'd get smart and not react like wussies.

Bill Clinton deserved someone to angrily challenge him years ago, ala the way Joseph McCarthy was challenged.

Sorry, but I can't imagine anyone asking The Rapist; "Do you have no shame?" with a straight face. I mean, geez, everyone already knows he has no shame.

[Miss Behave]

I agree with you. Chris Wallace did a great job given the circumstances. He kept his cool and I loved that he was incredulous over Clinton's psycho-responses and actions. Who woulda thunk that any ex-stateman would go so Tasmanian over such simple questions? Maybe Chris should've asked simpler questions like:

If you were a hotdog wouldya eat yourself? It's a simple question. Wouldya eat yourself?

Chris Wallace did fine. It was MUCH better for Clinton's tantrum NOT to be argued!! He looked insane and he acted like a child.

[Borges]

I used to work at a film school and the students were overwhelmingly liberal. It's just not a field that attracts conservatives.

[Colonial Warrior]

But....but....but....I TRIED!!!!

[rocksblues]

I still find it amazing that at least 40% of the people in this country will defend this convicted liar no matter what he says or does, but then again they were all draft dodgers themselves 1966-1972!

[toddlintown]

Sounds like you're spending too much time over there (DU), but then again, so am I. The face-punching scenario sounds about right.

[Dahoser]

Still wondering what Pres. Clinton was trying to accomplish in his fiery, finger-wagging chat with FOX's Chris Wallace?

No, I'm still wondering what former Pres. Clinton was trying to accomplish. When are these folks in the drive-by media going to stop calling him President?

[bannie]

hilly can't distinguish herself from billyblythe's reign: They loudly touted that it was a 2-for-1 reign.

Ping to myself for my anti-DUmmie arsenal! Thanks!

<< Apparently, Bill Clintn has downed so much Viagra that it's made his head hard .... >>

Cli'ton - already incapable of independent thought and the publicly-recorded "size" of his bent and minuscule, um, member notwithstanding, is faced with the problem after Viagra of there being insufficient blood to circulate both his brain and his d**k. And his brain therefore completely shuts down.

Oh!

Just a minute!

I forgot!

All of the above occurred BEFORE he ever took Viagra.

And was still so squalidly be-squatting and be-manuring the office suite that, until Cartah crapped there, had been reserved for the exclusive use of America's president ......

[hosepipe]

Obviously just BEing a democrat is a security risk..

[Williams]

Not to be argumentative, and maybe you were being sarcastic, but he wouldn't have been elected president if everyone knew what he was really about.
