Clinton Rips Media, Ken Starr After Opening of Presidential Library By James Jefferson Associated Press Writer
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - In a prime-time television outburst, Bill Clinton ripped old nemesis Kenneth Starr and what the former president portrayed as a gullible media eager to report every "sleazy thing" leaked from a prosecutor bent on bringing him down. The exchange came in an interview with ABC news anchor Peter Jennings that aired Thursday night, hours after Clinton opened his $165 million presidential library. Clinton blasted Starr and spoke disdainfully of a national media that he suggested was complicit in a scheme to ruin his presidency.
"No other president ever had to endure someone like Ken Starr," Clinton said. "No one ever had to try to save people from ethnic cleansing in the Balkans, and people in Haiti from a military dictator that was murdering them, and all the other problems I dealt with, while every day an entire apparatus was devoted to destroying him."
The former president said he would go to his grave at peace that, while he had personal failings, he never lied to the American people about his job as president.
Clinton added that he doesn't care about what his detractors think about him. Jennings then said it seemed to him that Clinton did care.
The former president responded, "You don't want to go here, Peter. 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 leaked. No one has any idea what that's like."

Clinton's call for national unity didn't last long.
Keep talking, Bubba.
The pervert bjclinton was IMPEACHED!
Funny, I seem to remember the media bashing Kenneth Starr and defending Clinton.
The impeachment is a festering wound for ol' Bent One, isn't it? I predict that it will continue to eat at him.
I saw this exchange. You are right. It is eating on him very badly.
William Jefferson Blyth a.k.a. Bill Clinton belongs in a Federal prison.
Clinton rips media? Clinton rips MEDIA????? He got more bj's from them than from Monica. He should kiss their feet.
Clinton is going to be an angry bitter man the rest of his days and he'll never understand what he did wrong.

The blood of the September 11 attacks will stain you forever.
We were attacked repeatedly by al-Qaeda and you never did a damn thing about it.
"I saw this exchange. You are right. It is eating on him very badly."
A pleasure to see. It is always instructive to watch run-of-the-mill liberals like Billyboy caught in the act of being themselves
The man will go to his grave ever the liar.
Is that the Ken Starr kind of thing Clinton mentioned in his interview?
Shocking that Jennings goaded him.
I saw the clip on Fox also. I just love seeing Clinton threatening Jennings (the media)like that.
He mentions the Balkans and Haiti---Big whoop, that is all he did and even they didn't turn out well. Look at how Aristide did Haitians. And he said that he had to suffer the rath of Starr and the media.
What does he think Bush has had to work through. Moore, Carter, Gore, Clinton(both) ALL of Hollywood, the media--dang Clinton had it SOOOOO good compared to Bush.
He and Kerry have been spending the last two days blaming Fox and conservative talk radio instead of themselves. They are both narcissists and deserve to be shunned instead of celebrated!!!!!
Krauthammer said it best on Fox. Bill is an incurable liar and in lifelong denial. He seeks the continous accolades from an honorable legacy he never earned.
