[I still care]

I was laughing watching this.

Last week, I felt so badly for Chris, because he was used by Clinton to mobilze the kook base and seemed genuinely taken aback at Clinton's attack.

I thought, this is "journalist's revenge".

IMO, Clinton 'lost it' and went well beyond any plan he might have had.

Wallace showed amazing restraint. Gut reaction to being poked by a finger like that is to strike back.

I thought, this is "journalist's revenge".

Back in the day when newspapers were king, there was a saying that went something like this: "Never pick a fight with those who buy ink by the barrel."

Ironically, that quote has been attributed to one William J. Clinton. However, it predates him by many decades.

The principle would apply to broadcast media, as well. It was curious, I thought, that when the actual BJ interview was broadcast, BJ was visiting a 'friendlier' nation. He was in Britain, I believe.

I was laughing right with you! It was swell!

Oh, this leaves out the absolute BEST PART!

At the end, when Wallace was talking to the panel, he said that the response was NOT PLANNED, that the entire time Clinton was going off his "handlers" were jabbing Wallace's producer in the back, telling him to STOP the interivew.

And he said not only did Clinton yell and scream at his "handlers" when the show was over, he actually threatned to FIRE THEM ALL!

Thanks for posting this, windchime!
