BBC Excerpts Clinton's Rage
Newsmax.com ^ | 6/22/04 | Carl Limbacher and the Newsmax.com staff

Posted on 06/22/2004 8:22:54 AM PDT by kattracks

The BBC has published excerpts from an interview with ex-president Bill Clinton set for broadcast tonight in Great Britain where he interrupts a discussion about his book and reportedly "wags his finger and gets visibly agitated" at BBC "Panorama" host David Dimbleby.

Asked why he started his affair with Monica Lewinsky when he knew he was already under investigation by Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr, Clinton railed: "Let me just say this. One of the reasons he [Kenneth Starr] got away with it is because people like you only ask me the questions.

"You gave him a complete free ride. Any abuse they wanted to do. They indicted all these little people from Arkansas, what did you care about them, they're not famous, who cares that their life was trampled. Who cares that their children are humiliated."

Continuing to berate Dimbleby, Clinton complained:

"Nobody in your line of work cared a rip about that at the time. Why, because he was helping their story. And that's why people like you always help the far-right, because you like to hurt people, and you like to talk about how bad people are and all their personal failings."

The ex-president blamed the media for spending so much time on the scandal that turned him into the only elected president in U.S. history to be impeached, telling Dimbleby:

"Look, you made a decision to allocate your time in a certain way, you should take responsibility for that, you should say 'yes, I care much more about this than whether the Bosnian people were saved, and whether he brought a million home from Kosovo'."

BECAUSE I COULD! (Isn't that what he said?)

Translation: I am PRESIDENT of the US and I can DO ANYTHING I WANT. HILLARY will bail me out of it! She always has.

This guy is terrifying. He talks like an alcoholic. I guess he really is a sexaholic.

Rather's staff denied that Clinton said BULL in reference to being offered OBL by Sudan.

Yesterday they released the tape of Clinton referring to the offer as BULL.

They lie, they forget their lies, and then they lie again.

Even proof is meaningless.

"Boy Clinton" was the title of R. Emmett Tyrrell's book. Tyrrell consistently referred to Clinton in that manner, well before he wrote the book.

< Oh, yes, breathed Sue. He sent a Secret Service Agent out to fetch her and bring her backstage >

I saw that too. I rolled on the floor laughing. She had no clue what that sounded like. So funny. I wondered if others caught it.

You mean the war in Kosovo which violated Just War Doctrine?

Yeah, Clinton's contribution to the War on Terror, when he fought for the terrorists.

"The term "boy" does not, in this case, imply innocence, but instead it properly describes a a shallow sef absorbed person who will not accept responsibility as an adult....

It was in this vein that the book title "Boy Clinton" was penned....Men do not hide behind a woman's skirt ("You'll have to ask Reno about that, I didn't make that call" (WACO)....

A man would not grope a woman who came to him asking for help...a junior high school boy might."

Generally I agree, however, I have seen just as many "girls" behave as described above and since the past 30 + years the movement has been about defaming males I see bjClinton as a "spoiled brat" not associating "gender" with his self absorbed acts, cause "he" is not one, that ninny that "he" is married tooo only has an issue when "he" gets caught.

I'm glad you saw it, too! I was going to change the channel but my husband wanted to see what she had to say. LOL

Were you as impressed as I to hear that Clinton continues to treat the Secret Service as glorified gofers?

"Wonder how Rather feels that his "catch" of the Clinton interview is so trumped by the BBC's interview. "

The Borg do not feel..............

Yesterday afternoon, CNN had an interview with Ken Starr refuting Clinton's claims that everyone connected with all the Clinton scandals was exonerated.
I thought Starr dropped a bombshell.
He said that au contraire, he had referred a number of cases to the Justice Dept for criminal prosecution-
but, Reno refused to prosecute !
