Why Clinton Blew His Top: FNC's Wallace Only Interviewer to Ask About Pre-9/11 Failures

By now, nearly everybody who cares has probably seen former President Bill Clinton's -- let's say 'animated' -- response to 'Fox News Sunday' host Chris Wallace's questions about his administration's failed efforts to demolish al-Qaeda before the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

But Wallace himself hit on the key media bias question ...

Trying to explain Clinton's hot reaction, Wallace said he read the transcripts of the ex-President's other media appearances in the last few days -- on NBC's 'Meet the Press,' CNN's 'Larry King Live,' FNC's 'On the Record with Greta van Susteren,' among other programs.

Wallace said he was "astonished" that none of the others even bothered to raise the terrorism question with Clinton, particularly with his team's attacks on ABC's "Path to 9/11" docu-drama.

Clinton sounded like a left-wing press critics with his repeated jibes at Fox as a "conservative" or "right-wing" outfit.

But what, besides liberal bias, explains the other journalists' total lack of interest in even asking a single question about Clinton's inadequate terror response?

No matter what questions Chris Wallace would have asked, he would have gotten the same response: angry, incensed, belligerant.

Else why would the very calculating Clinton allow Wallace to ask about whatever he wanted to in addition to the global warming topic?

Wallace, You magnificent bastard!

Yes, I enjoyed the smirk comment immensely. Just knowing he was annoyed by Chris was a wonderful thing.

Clinton really hates Murdock and Fox...and us. But then, HE was never MY president.

Gennifer Flowers was asked if she did the same stuff as Monica...

The alleged response was : Close but no cigars.

8-)

[marajade]

That's a good picture of her.

[george76]

Now some will post the after pictures...

[marajade]

She's ugly on the inside though. That makes up for any great picture that maybe out there of her.

She wonders why no man will consider her seriously for marriage. What did she expect after what she did.

More like bad movies tend to resemble life.

Saddam didn't have any clue nor care that the smoke of the Kuwaiti oil fields he lit off might encircle the Earth for weeks or months, choking off farm crops and leading to global starvation on a massive scale.

I think something's smoking for sure.........

" She wonders why no man will consider her seriously for marriage.

What did she expect after what she did. "

Chris Wallace just got a small taste of how Juanita Broddrick felt.

Hello,

Well put, His handler's intake of Xanax today must be a thing to behold. I have been reading FR today, not posting, and have been amazed at the posters here (not many, but some) saying that Clinton planned this. Are you KIDDING? Sure the DU freaks will eat it up, who cares? We (conservatives) knew all along who and what he is. The group that will be horrified and shocked are the middle of the road folks.

Glad to be here, MOgirl

If he wants to save his soul, not himself. At his age, he MUST smell the sulphur.

My thinking is that it was John Carlin (who just happened to be the democRAT former Governor of Kansas 1 term.)

I might also add, as a Kansan, when I heard that that idiot had been named to the head of the Nat'l Archives, "What in the world is happening, does Clinton need to grab each and every out-of-work, down-on-his-luck former failure around the country?"
