Guess where I am.

For some reason, i always thought you were in Canada. Sorry.

[Howlin]

I believe it!

[I got the rope]

Hee hee...this is going to be a great interview. Bookmarking.

[mware]

It sounds like this Dimbleby fellow is of the same stuff.

[Judith Anne]

Wow! Ping to myself, for followup. Can't wait to hear the details!

[sawmill trash]

Did his face turn a reddish purple?


Did he bite his lip ?

[mware]

Perhaps Dimbleby did it, because he could.

[Yaelle]

This is nothing new. We have seen his temper in action before. Did he really think that "therapy all day" and "sleeping on the couch" (in the White House, yes, we certainly all believe that... They had separate bedrooms, anyway!) stuff was going to fool us? Lewinsky was not his only affair inthe White House! He was NEVER penitent, just upset that he was caught.

This is the real Bill, all right.

And as I recall, the first time we saw him angry about "Miss Lewinsky" was when he blew a fuse at US, the American People, and shook his finger in all of our faces and told us he had had no "relations."

Did he bite his lip ?

And if so, did he put some ice on it?

Interview should appear at http://www.bbc.co.uk/panorama/ when it starts at around 17:35 EDT on Tuesday. I say "should" because it is a special programme; Panorama is normally only on Sunday nights, so I don't know if it will be put up on the page.

You have to love it, Clinton is sucking the air right out of Kerry's lungs.

[avital2]

hey, let's not forget how he dressed down Britt Hume at the presser with RBGinsburg. well, i'm warming up to this book tour idea now. only downside: if Clinton continues on this track, it might make JFKerry look better in comparison.

Yep, just like Monica su... nevermind... ;)

"It is memorable television which will give the public a different insight into the President's character......"

It's an insight, all right, but not a different one.

We've seen him remove his microphone at news conferences before and walk off pouting, like the little kid he is, at the asking of a probing question.

[SoCalPol]

Thanks Ivan. Was David Dimbleby's father Richard Dimbleby
of years ago BBC?

[Howlin]

I like it.

Perhaps Bush should take that up as his excuse for any and everything he is accused of!

[mware]

Yep, just like Monica su... nevermind... ;)

I had a feeling I would get that response when I posted it.

[Sacajaweau]

Gorelick is involved in EVERY Clinton scandal according the articles I found googling.

[TheSpottedOwl]

Will the BBC be "allowed" to air this interview?

[AlbionGirl]

I'm not surprised at his reaction at all. He plays an incredible game of 'impeachment's my badge of honor', and I always suspected that his true feelings about his impeachment ran to the exact opposite. Not because he's ashamed necessarily, but he's enraged that he was brought so low, so publicly.

He really doesn't consider it a badge of honor, and knows full well that unless he cures Cancer, impeachment was his final, historical eviseration and judgement.
