Clinton rages against Dimbleby in Panorama confrontation over Lewinsky
The Sunday Telegraph ^ | June 20, 2004 | Chris Hastings and Charles Laurence

Posted on 06/19/2004 4:38:44 PM PDT by MadIvan

Bill Clinton loses his temper with David Dimbleby during a BBC television interview to be broadcast this week when he is repeatedly quizzed about his affair with Monica Lewinsky.

The former American president, famed for his amiable disposition, becomes visibly angry and rattled, particularly when Dimbleby asks him whether his publicly declared contrition over the affair is genuine.

His outrage at the line of questioning during the 50-minute interview, to be broadcast on Panorama on Tuesday night, lasts several minutes. It is the first time that the former President has been seen to lose his temper publicly over the issue of his sexual liaisons with Ms Lewinsky.

The President initially responds to Dimbleby's questions by launching a general attack on media intrusion. When the broadcaster persists with the question of whether the politician was truly penitent, Clinton directs his anger towards Dimbleby.

The atmosphere, which was initially warm, then turns decidedly chilly. One BBC executive who has seen the interview, which took place in a New York hotel last Wednesday, said: "He is visibly angry with Dimbleby's line of questioning and some of that anger gets directed at Dimbleby himself. As outbursts go, it is not just some flash that is over in an instant. It is something substantial and sustained.

"It is memorable television which will give the public a different insight into the President's character. It will leave them wondering whether he is as contrite as he says he is about past events. Dimbleby manages to remain calm and order is eventually restored."

Mr Clinton agreed to speak to Panorama as part of the publicity campaign for his autobiography My Life.

Yes.

And I remember reading about when Ron Brown confronted x42 towards the end, right before his last plane trip. I've read that x42 was livid. Can't you just imagine him red-faced, furious?

Here's hoping that's a screencap from the program and not just some file photo from the Monicazoic era.

I never read that about Sandy Hume. It's truly sad. With so many obvious Arkansides on billyblythe's list, I assumed this was one of them.

As I remember, his hair color changed with his mood/polls/dating success, so no real way to tell.
