Well, there you have it. The essence of Clinton and the devastating 8 years he lived in the White House. A President would have addressed those tragedies but Clinton never saw the office as real it was merely a showcase for his role playing. A prequel to The West Wing. He faked it through 2 terms without the faintest idea of how to lead or why character matters. His dramatic, little temper tantrums are part of his schtick, just another diversionary tactic used when a serious interviewer ask a serious question.

1993, the Rose Garden press briefing, Clinton introduces his latest nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court:

At the Rose Garden announcement of Clinton’s nomination of Ruth Bader Ginsburg for the Supreme Court, a candidate Clinton decided on after a lengthy search process, Hume, then with ABC News, inquired: “The withdrawal of the Guinier nomination, sir, and your apparent focus on Judge Breyer, and your turn -- late, it seems -- to Judge Ginsburg, may have created an impression, perhaps unfair, of a certain zigzag quality in the decision-making process here. I wonder, sir, if you could kind of walk us through it and perhaps disabuse us of any notion we might have along those lines? Thank you."

A glaring Clinton icily fired back: “I have long since given up the thought that I could disabuse some of you of turning any substantive decision into anything but political process. How you could ask a question like that after the statement she just made is beyond me.”

Clinton then turned and walked back into the White House, thus prematurely ending the press conference.

Miami Herald - June 21
"It would be unfair to say that Rather (Dan Rather interviewed Clinton on CBS television in the USA) pitched nothing but softballs, but in none of the six interviews he has had with Clinton over the past dozen years has Rather ever shown the combativeness he did in confrontations with Richard Nixon.

"To see how Clinton reacts under that kind of cross-examination, we'll have to wait for an interview on the BBC this week, where British journalist David Dimbleby asks Clinton just how genuine his contrition over the Lewinsky affair really is. Clinton's response, reportedly, is anything but vintage Slick Willie."

Hannity just said that they will be playing this tonight on Hannity and Homely.

Is anybody tuned into the Oprah interview? Slick Willie has quite a tremor in his right hand. Of course, I haven't seen his other hand--it's probably near or in his crotch.

[Howlin]

I don't "do" Oprah.

[NautiNurse]

I don't do Oprah either. Clinton started to lose it during this interview too. Stumbling over his words badly.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

I recall hearing how Clinton had two "spiritual" advisers, I think Anthony Campollo was one of them, during the Monicagate. Apparently he went into a rage and kicked them out, rejecting their advice.

The guy has a temper, thats for certain. But so does Hildebeast. Maybe that's their common ground.

[Howlin]

Well, I had to turn it over.........LOL.

She asked him about Monica and he's talking about the shutdown?

He was in a huge struggle for the country? "I won the struggle for you -- and lost my struggle."

[Howlin]

Whoa....Oprah might give him a run for his money.

Whatever, he looks like an idiot.

[Howlin]

Oh, listen....he's lying.......listen to the halting in his voice.....he's trying to remember what he has SAID.

I guess he forgot that Linda Tripp went to Ken Starr because Monica wanted her to COMMIT PERJURY on his behalf.
