That's hilarious. He goes on and on about not being an angry person, dropping greek quotes and all, spouting psychobabble about his stepdad, then blammo! He goes ballistic! What a riot! But I'll be happy when Swillie disappears again.

CLINTON:...She’s something truly special and I’m glad she’s in the Senate and I hope she gets a chance to stay in public life.

DIMBLEBY: And they’d be getting two for the price of one.

CLINTON: Yeah, we tried that before and it didn’t work out so well. I think I’ll just pour tea. (Laughs)

DIMBLEBY: Mr President thank you.

CLINTON: Thanks. Actually, it did work out very well for the country.

Oh, you only thought you were 'on the couch' back in the Monicazoic Era. Wait till Hellary sees this quote Bubba! Nice try for the save at the end, but no dice. Good luck with the re-attachment surgery!

I thought the quote was "what the Gods would destroy, they first make mad" meaning insane. I could be wrong - but I've never heard "they first make angry" meaning pissed.

I'm sure my Freeper friends will correct me.

Thank you for posting this.

I have just begun to read, but my first comment concerns bj's saying:

"I may be the only person who got elected President ever, because of the loyalty, support and determination of his personal friends, who just wouldn’t let my campaign die."

And that explains all the "Arkancide" deaths.

Although bj is wrong. Hoffa got elected President (of the teamsters) because of the loyalty of his "friends" too!

This quote:

"CLINTON: Of course I did, and was it rational? No. So I do my very best to explain why I think it happened. But you know when people ask me this question, well how could you do something so stupid, when you knew they were after you. Well of course, if I’d been thinking straight, I wouldn’t have done it."

If this were a REPUBLICAN President saying this, the headlines all around the world would be:

CLINTON 'NOT IN HIS RIGHT MIND' WHILE PRESIDENT!

PRESIDENT ADMITS HIS THINKING WAS IMPAIRED DURING TERROR CRISIS!

It worked out very well for the country in the same way that passing a kidney stone worked out well for the poor bastard who had to suffer all the pain until it finally passes.

In England Clinton tells all the lies he can cram into an interview and there is never anyone to refute him. They just write down his crap and go on to the next question. Disgusting.

And he admits it! The man admits to living in two different worlds, and not being in his 'right mind' during a terror crisis, and then is 'relieved' when the 9-11 commission tells him that they don't think that his decision making was impaired---like he wasn't sure!

I can not believe that this wacko said these things and there is a virtual news black out about it! He is insane, and proved it in this interview.

Your understanding of "mad" is spot-on.

Thank you for the post. He caught himself there in his last comment. He was actually saying the twofer presidency didn't work out so well. LOL!! Amazing.

I heard part of this today on the radio.

Unbelievable. Clinton sounded rabid.

From a British perspective, Clinton showed he's insane by accusing the BBC of being a right wing tool. I burst out laughing when he said that.

"DIMBLEBY: Do you expect the 9/11 Commission to be critical of what you did as President about terrorism? "




"I think the 9/11 Commission can make up its own mind whether on both the attacks on Al Qaeda and the strategy we adopted, and on the question of homeland defence, I did enough."


Translation --- Ever hear of Gorelick, the wall builder?

More crap:

"I still think American politics works better when the fight is over who’s right and who’s wrong, rather than who’s good and who’s bad."

Later:
" And that’s why people like you always help the Far Right cos you like to hurt people, and you like to talk about how bad people are and all their personal failings..."

Think of the old saying: "you can't make yourself bigger by tearing other people down". But Bubba lived his entire life doing just that. Every time he got caught, he set out to paint his accusers as more evil, more greedy, more hateful than himself...until he believed it. It's the only way he could live with himself. Whatta sicko.
