That is exactly what Bill Kristol was saying on Fox News this morning. He added that it was an attempt to intimidate other news folks and their future questioning of Clinton's administration on the war on terror.
BJ's post interview tussle with his own staff suggests something different, including the likelihood that Clinton just lost it because of his own "fragile" personality and present state of mind. Clinton obviously knows his legacy is dirt and doesn't know what to do to resurrect it. Maybe he should just go away for five years or so...
It's ironic that Clinton had a "Lazio moment". Remember when Lazio invaded Hillary's space during a debate--The media was all over what a mistake it was.
