..and just another comment... Think of what Clinton did here. He deflected the question from himself and ended up blaming Bush for 911. He basically said 8 years of chances is less at fault than 8 months. Wallace should have ripped him to shreds.

No. Wallace behaved correctly. Just watch Billy Boy shred himself instead.. unpresidential, bully, and that fn long finger of his invading Wallace's personal space... it doesn't sit well with the common folks no matter what stripes.. except for those of DU of course

I agree that Clinton deserved -- deserves! -- to ripped to shreds for blaming Bush for 9/11. However, Wallace's passivity kept Clinton from turning himself into a victim during the interview. (Both Clintons are masters at getting peoples' sympathy by responding as if they are being "attacked" by critics.) Sadly, many people do not know all the facts behind Clinton's lies; people do, however, know narcissism and disproportionate emotion when they see these. By sitting there stunned, Wallace gave Clinton enough rope to hang himself. (Clinton realized this on some level, which is why he accused Wallace of smirking, when Wallace clearly wasn't. Slick Willie knew he was a runaway train, but he lacked the self-control to get back on track.)
