Thursday, Nov. 18, 2004 10:30 p.m. EST Bill 'Captain Queeg' Clinton Threatens Peter Jennings

A paranoid-sounding Bill Clinton threatened ABC News anchorman Peter Jennings in an interview broadcast Thursday night, in a bizarre rant about his impeachment that laid bare the ex-president's persecution complex.

"You don't want to go here, Peter," Clinton warned, after Jennings told him that historians ranked him second to last of all presidents in terms of moral authority.

Squinting his eyes, an angry Clinton seethed, "You don't want to go here. Not after what you people did. And the way you - your network - what you did with Kenneth Starr. The way your people repeated every little sleazy thing he did. No one has any idea of what that's like." The amazing exchange came after Clinton at first claimed he didn't care about the verdict of historians.

"I had more support from the world when I quit than when I started," he claimed. "And I will go to my grave being at peace about it. And I don't really care about what [the historians] think."

Immediately, Jennings challenged Clinton, all but calling him a liar.

"Oh, yes you do . . . Excuse me, Mr. President. I can feel it across the room. You care very deeply."

Jennings' challenge sent Clinton into a thinly veiled rage, prompting him to threaten, "You don't want to go here, Peter."

The full exchange went like this:

JENNINGS (Discussing rankings by presidential historians]: They gave you a forty-first in terms of moral authority - after Nixon.

CLINTON: They're wrong about that. You know why they're wrong about it? They're wrong about it.

JENNINGS: Why, sir?

CLINTON: Because we had $100 million spent against us in all these inspections . . . In spite of it all, you don't have any example where I ever lied to the American people about my job, where I have let the American people down. And I had more support from the world when I quit than when I started. And I will go to my grave being at peace about it. And I don't really care about what they think.

JENNINGS: Oh, yes you do.

CLINTON: They have no idea . . .

JENNINGS: Excuse me, Mr. President. I can feel it across the room. You care very deeply.

CLINTON: No, no. I care. In care. You don't want to go here, Peter. You don't want to go here. Not after what your people did. And the way you - your network - what you did with Kenneth Starr. The way your people repeated every little sleazy thing he did. No one has any idea of what that's like.

Sounds like Peter asked a simple question that just happen to pop that nerve in Clinton's neck .. *L*

The Impeachment bothers Clinton much more than I thought it did :0)

[ForGod'sSake]

Hot Damn! If I didn't know better, I'd say Petah is growing a spine. He actually even danced around some with the Massachusetts Bolshevik in an interview a few weeks ago. I think he's maybe testing his sea legs for the first time. His timidity with Jean Keri was obvious, but he showed a little more spunk with Bent Willie. It might be fun watching Petah grow up in public.

FGS

[clintonh8r]

Who's going to be on?

[Petronski]

I was getting very afraid and depressed this evening that today had not brought a gift. But then Bubba and Petah obliged.

LOL

[Warriormom]

I agree - he looked pale and weak. He even looked like he was dead in some of the footage I saw.

I've been told that patients that are put on a heart-bypass machine during bypass surgery have problems with depression and mood swings after the surgery. There are some doctors who do the bypass surgery with the patient's heart beating, but I remember reading that Clinton went on bypass.

It rained on his parade today too.........:o)

and the rain came from Texas - how right is that!

[Another Thought]

I think Rush is out tomorrow.

[ErnBatavia]

I love this....the meltdown continues; and as a bonus point for us, the meltdown du jour comes from a very sick-looking, last bastion of the left.

The Democrat party, as well as the Clinton "legacy" both died in a southern rainstorm today.

[hineybona]

I love it hahahahahhahahahhahahahah too funny woooooohhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

One interesting thing about Jennings is he has a sly mean-streak. Although he's clearly liberal, sometimes he just likes to piss people off.

[Mo1]

and the rain came from Texas - how right is that!

I hadn't thought of that ... LOLLOLLOL .. that is priceless

[Mojave Mark]

And Clinton's the best they got...

[Howlin]

Ahem, I did say "play the tape," young man!

And what time is her show? Can I get that on the internet?

[freedumb2003]

Buahahahaha

So his desire to be in the limelite overrode his desire to destroy America.

Go figger

[leadpenny]

I don't see where the psychopath "threatened" Jennings?

[sweetliberty]

"They gave you a forty-first in terms of moral authority - after Nixon."

Nixon was a boy scout compared to bent willy.

[1john2 3and4]

Sounds like Jennings managed to trip off clintoon's oppositional defiance disorder

You win! Though it's hard to hear for all the hootin laughter here.
So you noticed "I don't care" "I do care" (with barely a space between the two proclamations).
Defintely oppositionally defiant - with himself. Aka, a self-conflicted looney tune.
Man's truly dangerous.

[cyncooper]

In spite of it all, you don't have any example where I ever lied to the American people about my job,

Let's play! I'll start:

Bill Clinton claimed the WH coffees were not fundraisers but social get-togethers.

Lie

[Conservababe]

Bill Clinton will go to his grave (which might be soon from sitting in the chilly rain so soon after major surgery) in complete denial. He has such a hatred for Starr that he must have rationalized that he pushed him into the room with Monica and then hypnotized him to lie in front of a grand jury.

I am wondering, does the new library have any reference to him being disbarred?
