LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- 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 anchorman Peter Jennings that aired Thursday night, hours after Clinton opened his $165 million presidential library. Clinton blasted Starr and spoke disdainfully of a 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.

Clinton added that he does not 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."

''You never had to live in a time when people you knew and cared about were being indicted, carted off to jail, bankrupted, ruined, because they were Democrats and because they would not lie," he said. ''So, I think we showed a lot of moral fiber to stand up to that. To stand up to these constant investigations, to this constant bodyguard of lies, this avalanche that was thrown at all of us. And, yes, I failed once. And I sure paid for it. And I'm sorry. I'm sorry for the American people. And I'm sorry for the embarrassment they performed."

Kerry: always blames the other guy.
You've noticed too, huh? If you're a liberal, it never seems to be your fault.
Being a liberal must mean never having to say you're sorry...
---"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."
And just what does "Slick" expect the media to do? Censor what comes out of the Starr report? I think so. What a narcissistic creep! He's delusional.
It is truly ironic that Clinton doesn't recognize that the media is controlled by liberals and, for the most part, they gave him a free ride.
You may be right.
"He belongs down the memory hole -- like his presidency."
Indeed, I would be happy never to have to waste energy on thinking about him, if he only would go away and stop drawing attention to himself.
Bill Clinton is a Republican secret weapon in elections. Not only were Clinton's successes directly out of Gingrich's Contract For America, but he helped transform national political demographics while Democrats slept.
In fact, that is what I find so remarkable about the interview ... his physical transformation. He looked cold, like the face of true evil.
No country has ever had to endure a lying,scumbag, pervert amoral conniving reprobate of your likes. Starr should have got a rope and meted out a little bit of frontier justice vigilante style, while we looked the other way.
This is the real Bill Clinton. He squints those eyes and emanates pure evil.
He is the poster boy for the 60's never assuming responsibility for his actions. It is a conspiracy...a VRWC don't you.
This man is a sociopathic, an incurable paranoid narcissist consumed with hate for his "oppressors"
If Hitlery succeeds, we will have 4 or 8 more years of him.
It isn't about her, it is about him....everything is about him.
