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.

Captain Queeg is the perfect description. He came across as completely insane.

What was the point trying to show his "objectivity" at a time when it did no good or when it could have rid us of this Clinton scourge once and for all. Both of them.

Whenever I wish that the 'toons had been run out of town in 1998, I remember that Algore would have been the sitting President in 2000...and we'd still be stuck with him, probably till 2008.

Think what 10 years of Algore would have done to this country.

Years ago, there was an article in a conservative magazine
when Clinton was first elected. It surmised that the
Clinton "plan" was in fact a Clinton Dynasty. There was to
be 8 yrs. of Bill, 8 yrs. of Gore (to be controlled by
Clinton), then 8 yrs. of Hillary to add up to a 24 year
Clinton Dynasty - by which time they could then be in a
position of total power whereby they would be able to
dictate the American political scene indefinitely.

In spite of the strength of our system, I don't think even the US could have survived 24 years of those people.

Far better that x42 remained to serve out his term, as he did.

He's still impeached, he's the only one who doesn't seem to know it (except in his heart of hearts if he has one).

He was disbarred. Another stigma.

He's been discredited in the minds of half the country, and history will not look fondly on him.

It was the best outcome we could have faced.
