Talk about deja vu all over again. There was something awfully familiar about Bill Clinton's hissy fit on Fox News last Sunday. What was it, exactly?
The finger-pointing? The raised voice? The way he kept interrupting his interviewer? The mounting furor that threatened to reach red-in-the-face levels despite the pancake makeup? The attribution of base motives to a reporter who'd dared question him about something he'd done? Or, in this case, what he hadn't done to prevent a terrorist attack on this country.
It was an operatic performance. All the Sturm und Drang was there, if not the art. But what impressed most was the practiced quality of the "spontaneous" explosion. It sounded about as impromptu as one of the Three Tenors' great arias. Maybe Pavarotti's "Fuor del Mar" from "Idomeneo."
Full of emotion but never really out of control.
The only problem was that Fox's Chris Wallace, who was supposed to play the foil, didn't. The question that set off Bill Clinton was direct, but it was civil, even sympathetic at the end: "I understand that hindsight is 20/20 . . . ."
That's when all Clinton broke loose, beginning with an assault on his interviewer's integrity. It turns out that Chris Wallace, too, despite his Clark Kent manner, is just another tool of that infamous Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy. "So you did Fox's bidding on this show," he told Chris Wallace.
"You did your nice little conservative hit job on me . . . ."
And that was just the beginning. ("Tell the truth, Chris . . . . (Your question) set me off on a tear because you didn't formulate it in an honest way and because you people ask me questions you don't ask the other side . . . .

If Wallace was a woman...Bill would have sexually assaulted him...ON CAMERA!
He is such an angry and twisted man.
This is not going away.....his lies are going to be out there.....AGAIN! This time refuted by the FACTS.
FAIR AND BALANCED.......YOU DECIDE!!!!

Well, he's got a point. I don't remember anyone asking Donald Rumsfeld if he ever had sex with Monica Lewinsky or why he turned down Sudan's offer of Bin Laden on a plate.
"Lost his temper" - I think not.
A slick Academy Award-winning performance? - I think so.
Either way - the message came across as clear as a bell: "Don't ever ask me that question again."
Mission accomplished.
Have you ever seen an oppossum turn fiercely viscious when cornered? Well, HissyBill put me in mind of that vision. He has an awful lot to hide, using his usual "in your face" offense in place of a defense. All the while Chris Wallace maintained his cool admirably and refused to cave to that violent finger in HIS face.

That is exactly the way I saw it. I can't figure out why Slick did it. I guess I am just not 'slick' enough.
Bill Clinton also affects his Arkansas accent to the max when he's lying or taking a fit...
SinkEmperor is a degenerate sociopath. Speaking lie or truth, he hasn't a clue where his mouth will lead him. Typical democrat. And the fools Begala and Carvile showed just how lost and bankrupt democrats are since the clinton soiling of that once great party.
I might believe that except for the reports of XXX-42 going off on his staff when he got off stage. I doubt that he would plan well enough to carry on the act of outrage after he got back stage. He was truly angry at being asked those questions.
"I can't figure out why Slick did it."
He (or Big Creep as Monica called him) got to dominate the conversation and fill up the time with all the things *he* wanted to say. I don't think it hurt Slick's feelings that he didn't get to talk about his global thingy.

I was longing to hear Chris note to sinkEmperor that his finger wagging was so familiar, so like the finger wagging in our collective face as the degenerate clinton lied with such conviction after deceiving a grand jury, judge, and courts. The degenerate rapist forgot to tell Chris to 'put some ice on it.'
