Mike Barnicle was on imus this morning. He was saying that Bubba says in his book that the worst moment in his presidency was telling Hillary about Monica. Apparently that was worse than the deaths in Waco, Mogadishu, Khobar, the WTC bombing, the African embassy bombings, the Cole and on and on. I can't think of another human being so self centered.
Did Barnicle also make the same observation?
1993, the Rose Garden press briefing, Clinton introduces his latest nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court:
At the Rose Garden announcement of Clinton’s nomination of Ruth Bader Ginsburg for the Supreme Court, a candidate Clinton decided on after a lengthy search process, Hume, then with ABC News, inquired: “The withdrawal of the Guinier nomination, sir, and your apparent focus on Judge Breyer, and your turn -- late, it seems -- to Judge Ginsburg, may have created an impression, perhaps unfair, of a certain zigzag quality in the decision-making process here. I wonder, sir, if you could kind of walk us through it and perhaps disabuse us of any notion we might have along those lines? Thank you."SourceA glaring Clinton icily fired back: “I have long since given up the thought that I could disabuse some of you of turning any substantive decision into anything but political process. How you could ask a question like that after the statement she just made is beyond me.”
Clinton then turned and walked back into the White House, thus prematurely ending the press conference.
Who to believe? The plagiarist or the perjurer?
