"Bill Clinton is an unusually
good liar." Bob Kerrey, 1996

The smirk is the new angry. Remember the '90s, which Dems spent putting down "angry white men?" Now the Dems are angry. They've been hopping mad for six years. Sunday, their biggest star, former President Bill Clinton, embraced his angry side during a Fox News interview with Chris Wallace, as he turned his ire to the new target of Democratic sensibilities, the smirk.
Since 1999, Dems have been dreaming about wiping the smirk of George W. Bush' face. Sunday, Clinton expanded the smirk zone when he chided Wallace for having "that little smirk on your face and you think you're so clever." Left-leaning blogs are lauding Clinton's tantrum. Thinkprogress.org reported that Clinton taught Wallace "a lesson."
If so, it was a lesson on How Not To. Bubba looked silly dismissing Wallace, his "nice little conservative hit job on me" and the Fox News network as conservative tools. Sorry, Fox News mogul Rupert Murdoch donated $500,000 to the Clinton Global Initiative last week and hosted a fund-raiser for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton this summer.
I don't get it. If Bill Clinton is so smart, why has he made his failure to get Osama bin Laden the big story of the week twice in the last month? Start with the ABC miniseries "The Path to 9/11." I never saw it, so all I know about it is that Clinton thought it showed him to be too soft on bin Laden. Oddly, when Democrats were billing themselves as tough on terrorism, Clinton turned the spotlight on his failure to vanquish bin Laden.

I thought Bubba was the first black president? :)
He made another interesting statement about how all the neocons complained about him doing nothing about bin Laden for eight YEARS and that George W. Bush had done nothing about bin Laden in his eight MONTHS in office. That didn't strike me as very smart, either--comparing his eight years to W's eight months.
It's not odd at all. Everyone says the Clinton's always suck the oxygen out of the room. Dems wrongfully cling to him because he was the most recent example of their win in a big election. However, this clown will be a millstone around their necks as long as they keep him him/her relevant in the political arena. All of this is fine by me and is one of the reasons why I never worried about losing the House or Senate this November. Dems routinely step in it, shoot themselves in the foot, then promptly stick it in their mouths.
Bill Clinton is a great showman and communicator. If George Bush had the schmoozing ability of Bill Clinton, we'd have 80% Bush approval ratings.
He should get a new career as the "neocon" ancestor finder for the Compost.
The ComPost is the perfect place for another steaming pile of Clintonisms.
Well, there's your problem, right there. I've never understood why people think either Bill or Hillary are so smart. Fast talkers are not the same as deep thinkers. Bush is a deep thinker. They are fast talking con men.
"Dems routinely step in it, shoot themselves in the foot, then promptly stick it in their mouths."
This statement has tag line potential ;D!
Lying was Clinton's vehicle for proving to himself that he was smarter than those to whom he was lying. His lies were almost always followed by a smirk, confirming he was smarter than his audience.
Clinton out foxed himself. I guess he assumed that a 50/50 interview would have say 5 or whatever number of questions about his Global Warming Initiate then 5 about anything else. I believe Slick was planning on running out the clock on his GWI questions and never allow Wallace his 5 other questions. Slick never counted on Wallace flipping back and forth from Billy's deal to real questions.
Feel free.
If Bill Clinton is so smart...
Not smart or fast talking just a glib liar.
Dems have forgotten the old adage...."If you lie down with dogs, you'll get fleas." If you lie down with horn dogs, you get Lewinskys.
The Clinton's intelligence levels were manufactured by his boot licker's, Carvell, Begalia and Morris.
Good catch! Clinton tried to govern by opinion poll. That's not leadership. Reminds me of the Robert Redford character in The Candidate. OK, we won. Now what do we do?
