I hope that this puts to rest any charges of bias against Wallace by some of the folks out there in Freeper Land. Clinton had the nerve to accuse him of right wing pandering for asking about the elephant in the room.
I like it when Clinton wagged his finger at Chris Wallace and told him he was "smirking". Chris Wallace turned his head and laughed. Clinton slurred his words as if he suffered a stroke.
time flies when you're not having "sexual relatioins with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky"
Not to mention waiting on Al Gore to "get outta Chainey's house".
The only thing Clinton fought was for his legacy. The Clinton presidency was all about him.
I hope this shocked Wallace enough into saying 'I can't believe this man was ever president?'
Well, he did have that heavy anchor hanging around his neck (Hillary).
The New York Times finally got around to mentioning the story on page 16, below the fold, in a hit piece attacking Juanita Broaddrick's credibility.
Can you imagine those two in the White house?!!! AGAIN?!!!
The whole Clinton response was shtick..a scripted, pre-planned act to generate exactly the response it did with their base.
No matter what questions Chris Wallace would have asked, he would have gotten the same response: angry, incensed, belligerant.
Reading the posts on left wing blog sites, what seems to us to be an alternate reality is the reaction these lefties have to a raging, vicious, paranoid Slick. They love him. Slick knew this, and geared his remarks to ginning up his, and Hillary's base.

Reporters are only allowed to ask Clinton softball questions like the ones that Dan Ratherbiased used to ask.
Sure Clinton tried..so did Napoleon at Waterloo.
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.
That alone should have been reason to take him out. And he get's a second chance?!?!
Thank God for the American Hellfighters!
Gore's global warming indeed.
bump for later read
When will or will this interview be repeated?
For BJ has just stepped on his own legacy-building team's carefully crafted, exquisitely choreographed photo-op -- the "Clinton Global Initiative" (I can't help laughing at the narcissism in that name!).
The "Clinton Global Initiative," timed to coincide with the opening session of the UN, successfully attracted the do-gooder glitterati, the jet-set, and the cameras. Even Laura Bush was conned into providing a "contribution."
And now it is all overshadowed by this jolt of reality, the REAL Bill Clinton, a pustulent, menacing, mean, purple presence being beamed onto the TV screens and computer monitors of the world. (I just heard on Fox News that the Wallace interview has racked up almost 900,000 views on YouTube, today alone!)
Yes, we have seen the REAL Bill Clinton before. Most memorably he showed up in the infamous "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" press conference. There was also his taped deposition --the one where we learned that "it depends on what the meaning of is, is." There we saw Clinton in all his arrogant, narcissistic glory.
But we were supposed to forget all that, and to think that Bill Clinton had "matured." After all, he's had a "brush with death," as he put it, with his heart surgery. The CGI media blitz was calculated to make the world see Clinton as a great "statesman" now.
But that flimsy image is now burnt to ashes. The slickest PR team ever assembled (next to the one that pulled off the Camelot myth for JFK) must be near suicidal today.
I caught the very end of Russert's interview.
Timmy was much nicer than that mean ole Chris Wallace who mentioned the t-word.
lol
Wallace, You magnificent bastard!
