Gonna have to disagree with you a little on that comment.
Clinton is afraid to confront anyone he thinks will fire back. He only goes on friendly shows, does friendly interviews, etc.
Whether it's because he's afraid he will lose control (a well-founded fear apparently) or afraid of confrontation, I don't know.
But he's had nothing but sycophants around him for years.
And Hillary had to do the confronting with Juanita.
But this segment wasn't "friendly", that's the point. There is no opportunity to take anyone on when the interviewer is Rather and Larry King.
BINGO .. Hellary has the same problem
I remember before he got elected, him losing control in an interview. He went all read in the face and got this ugly, ugly look. He looked like the devil incarnate, which he may be.
