Chris Wallace: Clinton Chewed Out His Staff After Interview While Still at Fox-TV Studio

Fox TV Morning Show (25 September) ^ | 25 September 2006 | AmericanInTokyo

Chris Wallace (FOX TV) just stated on the Monday morning news segment of Fox TV (aired in the 7:00 a.m. EST hour) that, not only did Bill Clinton retain his anger at Wallace after the interview was over and the cameras were off (despite Wallace trying to part on friendly terms), Clinton absolutely fumed at his own personal staff, right then and there while still on the Fox TV premises, for getting him into the interview with Wallace where he had earlier lost his head.

Wallace said Clinton's blow up at his staff for this mistake was very visible and very audible and very emotional.

"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.

From what I've read, the Clintons wrote the book on these practices. On Republicans, that is.

I didn't realize Nixon was short.

BOR is in arse kissing mode, hoping beyond hope he can get either of the Clintons on his show.

He just sickens me when he gets like that. I remember once, he was whining about the bias of the MSM. He had Rather on his show and he was telling Rather, C'mon, you know there is left leaning bias in the news. But yet a year later he had Bernie Goldberg on his show and was telling Goldberg that he didn't believe there was bias in the media. Completely blew my mind.

Actually, Wallace's question to Clinton did not seem to be a "gotcha" question at all. Rather, it was of the tone, "Would you like to tell your side of the story, Mr. President?" The fact that the IMPOTUS reacted so vehemently only tells me that he felt he had something to hide.

The question was no "softball", but it wasn't beanball either. Clinton should have welcomed the question, if he had a half-way credible reply.

The thing I find stunning is that it was Chris Wallace that came on Fox & FRiends before the airing of The Path to 911, and DEFENDED Clinton saying the docu-drama should be pulled or edited to reflect accurate information.

Bill Clintons, Howard Dean Moment. Priceless. The rage of the American left.

President Clinton just demonstrated Michelle Malkin's view that the Left is getting unhinged.

I may have to do this watching the Left trying to cover up for the former President's meltdown....

Good job, you saved me the trouble of looking for it. Tony says it's false. I tend to believe Tony. :)

[defconw]

Well we can dream can't we? :)

DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM???? I'M MOE GREENE!!!! I MADE MY BONES WHEN YOU WERE STILL DATING CHEERLEADERS!!!

I'll NEVER forget the pic of him on the Washington Times front page under that headline, wearing a Christmas tie and that famous pout.

Here is another famous pic of the bent and small thing that he is fixated on. Wish I had a better image of this one.

Well, I didn't see Kristol's segment so you may be correct.

I didn't mean it as a way of explaining or justifying the rant and if Kristol was saying that then he's dead wrong.

But as an added purpose of intimidation against future questions....I wouldn't hestitate for a moment to believe Clinton trying to accomplish that.

[sweet_diane]

I checked out a few of the comments from YouTube viewers. Can't believe they are applauding Clinton and slamming FOX!

Sheesh...scary world.

[tillacum]

"I left a comprehensive anti-terrorism plan in place" Yep, and a CIA and FBI who couldn't exchange information with one another. His comprehensive anit-terrorism was not against the terrorists, it was against America.

Didn't his mother ever teach him pointing and poking isn't nice.

The only thing BJ's momma ever taught him was how to find the best crap tables at Hot Springs.

[prairiebreeze]

Wonder if he's been re-thinking a few things this weekend...

[Neverforget01]

I actually agree wirh Kristol. Where I disagree is that his intimidation worked. It's like a parent who goes off too often. After a while it's just another "There he goes again"

Rush Limbaugh once showed video clips of how Clinton got caught blowing up at aides. Of course Rush was the only one to show those clips. One time Bill let loose a stream of curse words to an aide at his first easter party at the white house when kids weren't all that far away. Even if there was a tape of Clinton screaming curses the rest of the media won't show it like they did with Cheney.

[Sacajaweau]

Actually, Kristol might be on the right track.

Hillary is having a debate in my old hometown on October 20th. We know that Hillary MUST HAVE the questions pre-debate. It's always been that way. Look for this demand to be in all future interviews.

Her plantation remark, Gas station remark or F'n Jew remark are vestiges of "off the cuff" speeches.

I couldn't tell who on FOX said it this morning, but the best description I heard was "NARCISSISTIC ANGER".

[mware]

Nice of the NYT's to release only the information that fit their agenda.
