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."

I wonder what Jennings thinks of Clinton now. He literally chewed his behind in this interview. He definitely showed his seething temper on his face like so many in his cabinet claimed he had during the impeachment trial period

I'll bet Jennings would privately like to kick him in the balls.

Watch it, Peter. You're a whimp, and Slick is still tied to Dixie Mafia.

Jennings ought to be kicked out of our country anyway for demeaning our president during the 9-11 attacks. It would serve Jennings right.
