Thought it would be a good idea to discuss the upcoming interview where we already know Clinton loses it with Wallacae here. I for one am anxious to see it.
Thank you for that link! Wow! Is that guy ever unhinged!
Paraphrasing the quote about Lady Macbeth, methinks the man doth protest too much. Or, in more modern parlance, scratch a Democrat, find a rabidly defensive sewer rat.
kvcl... thanks for all the good information.
Ping for later read
I think Chris was too STUNED to do anything else! In an interview I read with Chris, he mentions x42's comment about the smirk on Chris's face. Chris said he wasn't smirking, he was just sitting there in wonderment at the former President's outburst.
Clinton made a fool of himself today. End of discussion.
I remember when there was some kinda picnic on the WH grounds, he lost it to a simple question a reporter ask...the reporter was block from the WH press core from then on.
He did the very same thing today except he's no longer president...there was NO cover for him...and he looked like the fool he is. He's a nut, insane and again I can't believe he was ever president...and I can't believe America is still standing with that jackass as president for 8 yrs. The chickens have come home to roast...and you can bet there's lots more to come...LOL...a scripture comes to mind...patience is a virtue...and have we all been waiting patiently...
Thanks Chris Wallace, you did yourself proud on that interview...little did you know how easy with this jackass...it'd be to step right in to it...
I think that reporter was Brit Hume, when he worked for a network, BF (before Fox).
See my new tag line.
Notice how much more profane the left is?
Thank you for the reminder about Richard Miniter's EXCELLENT book on "Losing Bin Laden", and for the reminder about Laurie Mylroie! This is why I love FReepers!
"Interesting thread" ping.
Today's performance seems almost like a repeat [different subject tho'] of the one he gave on BBC when interviewed by David Dimbleby, June 22nd 2004
[Wagging his finger and getting visibly agitated, Mr Clinton expressed anger at the media's behaviour.]

Clinton chides media over affair
bbc.co.uk.
Tuesday, 22 June, 2004
Former US President Bill Clinton has hit out at the media's treatment of his affair with Monica Lewinsky in a BBC television interview.
Speaking on a Panorama programme to be broadcast on Tuesday night, Mr Clinton accused the press of helping the far- right and liking "to hurt people".
He said the media cared more about the affair than the conflict in Bosnia.
Mr Clinton said he was relieved his wife, Hillary, did not decide to throw him out but make him sleep on the sofa.
Mr Clinton reacted after presenter David Dimbleby asked him why he had an affair with Ms Lewinsky when he knew he was under investigation by special prosecutor Kenneth Starr for other matters.
Wagging his finger and getting visibly agitated, Mr Clinton expressed anger at the media's behaviour.
He said: "Let me just say this. One of the reasons he [Kenneth Starr] got away with it is because people like you only ask me the questions.
"You gave him a complete free ride. Any abuse they wanted to do. They indicted all these little people from Arkansas, what did you care about them, they're not famous, who cares that their life was trampled. Who cares that their children are humiliated.
"Nobody in your line of work cared a rip about that at the time. Why, because he was helping their story.
People like you always help the far-right, because you like to hurt people, and you like to talk about how bad people are and all their personal failings
Bill Clinton
"And that's why people like you always help the far-right, because you like to hurt people, and you like to talk about how bad people are and all their personal failings.
"Look, you made a decision to allocate your time in a certain way, you should take responsibility for that, you should say 'yes, I care much more about this than whether the Bosnian people were saved, and whether he brought a million home from Kosovo'."
Banished to sofa
But despite the shaky start, Mr Clinton quickly recovered his composure and was questioned for a further 30 minutes by Mr Dimbleby.
During that time he laughed and joked, talking frankly about UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, about life at home and his views on the war on terror and the Iraq war.
It is believed that he even made time in his tight schedule to talk off camera to the Panorama team for 15 minutes after the interview ended.
Mr Clinton also revealed that in the wake of the Monica Lewinsky affair he was banished to the sofa by his wife Hillary at home, while ordering bombing attacks on al-Qaeda at work.
But he told the programme that he saw sleeping on the sofa as a positive sign.
"I thought that in a funny way the fact that I was sleeping on the couch and they were still in the same house with me meant that Hilary and Chelsea hadn't given up on me," he said.
"I figured out that I was getting a whipping at home where I should have gotten it. I felt that everything they [Hillary and daughter Chelsea] wanted to say or do to me, they had an absolute right to do so.
"The fact that I was still able to stay under the same roof... I thought that was progress.
"I was just glad to be among the living there at home and frankly, perhaps I shouldn't acknowledge this, but it was a relief to have to go to work and concentrate on something else because otherwise I would have nothing to think about all day long but what a bad fella I'd been."

It is very interesting to watch the Wallace/Clinton interview on Mute. The body language and facial expressions are so expressive. Clinton must be six inches taller than Wallace and fifty pounds heavier, and even with both men seated, Clinton tries to menace his interviewer. Very agressive behavior.
LOL! While he was talking, I just laughed and laughed -- unbelievable rant.
YouTube video.
Viyayo.
Toon got as red faced as anyone had ever seen...toon even then would not answer certain questions and he'd always go absolutely ballistic...so today's reaction by toon wasn't surprising...I'm surprised Chris didn't realize how easily he'd lose it. LOL...I guess it's a good thing Chris didn't realize it...he'd never have ask him.
I laughed myself too tears...it was so damn funny watching...him go bananas.
I love it when Great Minds Think Alike!
Chris Wallace is my hero !!
